Blocks are -added and removed by editing the config.h file. - -# Luke's build - -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. - -# 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 $(pidof dwmblocks)` which will have the same effect, -but is faster. Just add 34 to your typical signal number. - -My volume module *never* updates on its own, instead I have this command run -along side my volume shortcuts in dwm to only update it when relevant. - -Note that all modules must have different signal numbers. - -# Clickable modules - -Like i3blocks, this build allows you to build in additional actions into your -scripts in response to click events. See the above linked scripts for examples -of this using the `$BLOCK_BUTTON` variable. - -For this feature to work, you need the appropriate patch in dwm as well. See -[here](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/statuscmd/). -Credit for those patches goes to Daniel Bylinka (daniel.bylinka@gmail.com). +# Jptrzy's dwmblocks +# Patches +* signal +* ... - I don't remember 🤣 -- cgit v1.2.3
