# 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://dwm.suckless.org/patches/statuscmd/).
