Go Report Card

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. To make sure you have all dependencies installed you can run go mod tidy. 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*. 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.

FQA -- Frequently Questioned Answers

  • Does it have bar click-ability?

    • Yes.

AWESOME BARS

dwm bars that I think are awesome! check them out and give them a star!

sysmon I would use this if I hadn't made zara

spoon I don't know much C but this is great

rsblocks I don't know much Rust, but featureful and well starred, makes me wanna get my status emoji game up to par

mblocks another great rusty bar

integrated-status-text the way god intended

gods ICONIC

dwmblocks-async Awesome! I wrote this project because dwmblocks wasn't async...and I've lived without bar clickability since...maybe should have gone with this and learned C!

Luke Smith's Dwmblocks how could I forget where it all began?
