Try starting dwm like:

echo " " | dwm

and then running dzen in front of the empty status area.

The absolute bar geometry (relative to the root window) is:

wx, by, ww, bh

wx is the X-coordinate of the window area, ww is the width of
the window area, by is the Y-coordinate of the bar, bh is the
bar height.

dc.{x,y,w,h} is relative to the bar window itself. dc means draw
context.

Kind regards,
