I like my current set up but can't help but feel there is more that can be done.

You could probably change the default dwm colors
RE: Where to go from here? - RoastPotatoes - 26-03-2014
I've had a go.

Yes, this has to be the best ricing guide around.
RE: Where to go from here? - Saos - 28-03-2014
A complete guide would be cool. "Nixers Ricing 101" or something. This would be an awesome starting point.
Even the Arch Wiki doesn't go that far in depth.

The problem is that ricing should go with general unix knowledge. We could host a podcast on Unix Introductions with a touch of ricing maybe ? :p

I'm actually working on a 2nd article, that will complete this one. I'll be talking about shit like overlays, automating tasks and such. More "in-depth" customisations. But I think like there is not enough material to talk about. If you have any idea on the subjects subjects I could develop, that'd be cool :D

I think one good area to learn a bit more about Linux is to start working on collecting information you want to display in the bar. I currently have currently playing song (but only if there is one), battery, volume, temperature, RAM and the time. Maybe you'd want more or less, but it's useful to work out how you'd collect this information, and process it so you only get what you really need (the numbers, basically).
Also the font.
RE: Where to go from here? - z3bra - 28-03-2014
That's a good point ! I was planning to talk about that in the "overlay" part. But a whole point on fetching information would be better ! thank you !
