Simple dwmblocks alternative

Gocaudices is a dwmblocks alternative written in GO using xgb.

About

I wrote this alternative to be simple, fast, and elegant. This project is never meant to exceed 100 SLOC in the base build.

How-To

First download gocaudices with: git clone https://github.com/lordrusk/gocaudices You can (re)compile with: go install

• Configure

Gocaudices can be configured through adding blocks in the blocks.go I've left an example of a normal blocks.go config file that works with my dotfiles.

• Shell commands

To run shell commands, add inSh: true, to the block in blocks.go.

• Update a module

The block definition of {cmd: "volume", upSig: 10}, would be updated like kill -44 $(pidof gocaudices). A dwm volume mute keybind might look like { 0, XF86XK_AudioMute, spawn, SHCMD("pamixer -t; kill -44 $(pidof gocaudices)") },.

Patches

Patches are hosted in this repo in patches/*patch*. A example patch I created is complexdelim. To apply patches: patch -p1 < path/to/patch.diff. To create a proper patch, refer to hacking. If you would like to contribute a patch or feature, create a pull request.

(Non)-Features

• Multiple blocks can have the same update signal.
