dwmblocks

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 config.h file.

Signaling changes

Most statusbars constantly rerun every script every several seconds to update. This is an option here, but a superior choice is giving your module a signal that you can signal to it to update on a relevant event, rather than having it rerun idly.

For example, the audio module has the update signal 10 by default. Thus, running pkill -RTMIN+10 dwmblocks will update it.

You can also run kill -44 $(pidof dwmblocks) which will have the same effect, but is faster. Just add 34 to your typical signal number.

Note that all modules must have different signal numbers.
