Modular status bar for xsetroot/command output written in c.
Slightly modified dwmblocks I suppose...
Made a signal subscriber that will automatically send a signal to update a block. Examples are in config.h (make also sure that when you kill a rootblock process by violence a.k.a. killall and stuff you also kill all instances of subtosignal).
To use rootblocks first run 'make' and then install it with 'sudo make install'. After that you can put rootblocks in your xinitrc or other startup script.
-p flag makes it work in command output mode.
To use subtosignal you must set it in a pipeline after a command that monitors some thing you want to signal when it returns any stdout with a callback command.
some_monitoring_stuff | grep "thing that triggers" | subtosignal "play despacito"
The statusbar is made from text output from commandline programs.
Blocks are added and removed by editing the config.h header file as well as some other settings represented there.
There's no config.def.h. If I update and you pull it, you gonna figure out what you need to change.
Well, there's no point using diy stuff if you don't like to play with it anyways...
