Nice one, Mauro. I was able to find the Figma-Linux on AUR repository. Have you tried it?

DMW looks to be one of the more complicated Window Manager to configure, and it's possible to get to a point where patches conflict with others 😅 . Still, if you have experience with C, it's possible to overcome the conflicts. Also, polybar is easier to customize compared with the DWM builtin status bar, but once you have it all set, it's all happiness 🙂.
Check my dwm build, and feel free to reach out if you have any question or need any help.

Not sure why, but today I searched the same package in AUR, and I get 0 results. I just performed the exact search, and now I see two results.

About DWM, what you mentioned about the patches was the reason why I'm skeptical about using it, but I'm sure once you get to the point you want, you probably don't need to touch it frequently.

It's been like eight years since the last time I worked with C, so I'm rusty. 😄

I'm going to check your dwm build later :) Thanks for your help, Conrado!
