@@ -3,3 +3,16 @@ Modular status bar for dwm written in c. # modifying blocks The statusbar is made from text output from commandline programs. Blocks are added and removed by editing the blocks.h header file. +# Luke's bulid +I have dwmblocks read my preexisting scripts [here in my dotfiles repo](https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/voidrice/tree/master/.local/bin/statusbar). +So if you want my build out of the box, download those and put them in your `$PATH`. +I do this to avoid redundancy in LARBS, both i3 and dwm use the same statusbar scripts. +# signalling changes +For example, the audio module has the update signal 10 by default. +Thus, running `pkill -RTMIN+10 dwmblocks` will update it. +# clickable modules +Like i3blocks, this build allows you to build in additional actions into your scripts in response to click events. +See the above linked scripts for examples of this using the `$BLOCK_BUTTON` variable. + +For this feature to work, you need the appropriate patch in dwm as well. See [here](https://gist.github.com/danbyl/54f7c1d57fc6507242a95b71c3d8fdea). +Credit for those patches goes to Daniel Bylinka (daniel.bylinka@gmail.com). |
