Dwmblocks is a modular status bar for dwm written in c.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
2023-02-21 12:15:57 -08:00
|
|
|
To use dwmblocks first run 'make' and then install it with 'sudo make install'.

|
|
|
After that you can put dwmblocks in your xinitrc or other startup script to have
|
|
|
|
|
it start with dwm.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The dwmblocks-pulse-listener program is a small daemon that takes the pid of a
|
|
|
|
|
dwmblocks instance and notifies it of pulse audio volume changes.

|
## Modifying Blocks
|
|
|
|
|
The status bar is made from text output from command-line programs. Blocks are
|
|
|
|
|
added and removed by editing the blocks.h header file. By default the blocks.h
|
|
|
|
|
header file is created the first time you run make which copies the default
|
|
|
|
|
config from blocks.def.h. This is so you can edit your status bar commands and
|
|
|
|
|
they will not get overwritten in a future update.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Other Changes
|
|
|
|
|
Note that the intervals listed in blocks.h are in milliseconds (1/1000 second).
|
|
|
|
|
Because of this, the SECONDS() macro is provided for readability. I also
|
|
|
|
|
implemented some changes from Luke Smith's fork found
