dwmblocks is written in c and designed to be lightweight and efficient, aligning with the suckless philosophy of simplicity and minimalism. users can customize dwmblocks to suit their specific needs and integrate it seamlessly with their dwm setup, enhancing their overall workflow and productivity.
To incorporate shell scripts into dwmblocks, you can utilize the power of shell scripting to fetch and display various system information or execute custom commands. Here's a general outline of how you can do this:
- Create a designated scripts directory:
mkdir ~/dwmblocks/scripts/- Move your script to the directory and mod it:
mv script.sh ~/dwmblocks/scripts/
chmod +x ~/dwmblocks/scripts/script.sh - Point your blocks.h to the script inside the
static const
