 # dwmblocks
-Modular status bar for dwm written in c.
-# usage
+My personal fork of dwmblocks. Original found
+[here](https://github.com/torrinfail/dwmblocks).
+
+Dwmblocks is a modular status bar for dwm written in c.
+
+## Usage
 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.
-# modifying blocks
-The statusbar is made from text output from commandline 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.
-# patches
-Here are some patches to dwmblocks that add features that I either don't want to merge in, or that require a dwm patch to work.
-I do not maintain these but I will take pull requests to update them.

+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
+[here](https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/dwmblocks).
