-A [`dwm`](https://dwm.suckless.org) status bar that has a modular, async
+Lightweight, Clickable, Modular and Async status bar for [dwm](https://dwm.suckless.org). Fork of [dwmblocks-async](https://github.com/UtkarshVerma/dwmblocks-async)
-design, so it is always responsive. Imagine `i3blocks`, but for `dwm`.

-
-## Features
-
-- [Modular](#modifying-the-blocks)
-- Lightweight
-- [Suckless](https://suckless.org/philosophy)
-- Blocks:
-  - [Clickable](#clickable-blocks)
-  - Loaded asynchronously
-  - [Updates can be externally triggered](#signalling-changes)
-- Compatible with `i3blocks` scripts
-
-> Additionally, this build of `dwmblocks` is more optimized and fixes the
-> flickering of the status bar when scrolling.
-
-## Why `dwmblocks`?
-
-In `dwm`, you have to set the status bar through an infinite loop, like so:
-
-```sh
-while :; do
-    xsetroot -name "$(date)"
-    sleep 30
-done
-```
-
-This is inefficient when running multiple commands that need to be updated at
-different frequencies. For example, to display an unread mail count and a clock
-in the status bar:
-
-```sh
-while :; do
-    xsetroot -name "$(mailCount) $(date)"
-    sleep 60
-done
-```
-
-Both are executed at the same rate, which is wasteful. Ideally, the mail
-counter would be updated every thirty minutes, since there's a limit to the
-number of requests I can make using Gmail's APIs (as a free user).
-
-`dwmblocks` allows you to divide the status bar into multiple blocks, each of
-which can be updated at its own interval. This effectively addresses the
-previous issue, because the commands in a block are only executed once within
-that time frame.
-
-## Why `dwmblocks-async`?
-
-The magic of `dwmblocks-async` is in the `async` part. Since vanilla
-`dwmblocks` executes the commands of each block sequentially, it leads to
-annoying freezes. In cases where one block takes several seconds to execute,
-like in the mail and date blocks example from above, the delay is clearly
-visible. Fire up a new instance of `dwmblocks` and you'll see!
-
-With `dwmblocks-async`, the computer executes each block asynchronously
-(simultaneously).
-
-## Installation
-
-Clone this repository, modify `config.h` appropriately, then compile the
-program:
-
-```sh
-git clone https://github.com/UtkarshVerma/dwmblocks-async.git
-cd dwmblocks-async
-vi config.h
-sudo make install
-```
-
-## Usage
-
-To set `dwmblocks-async` as your status bar, you need to run it as a background
-process on startup. One way is to add the following to `~/.xinitrc`:
-
-```sh
-# The binary of `dwmblocks-async` is named `dwmblocks`
-dwmblocks &
-```
 
 ### Modifying the blocks
 
@@ -103,62 +22,3 @@ Each block has the following properties:
 | Command         | The command you wish to execute in your block.                                                                                                     |
 | Update interval | Time in seconds, after which you want the block to update. If `0`, the block will never be updated.                                                |
 | Update signal   | Signal to be used for triggering the block. Must be a positive integer. If `0`, a signal won't be set up for the block and it will be unclickable. |
-
-Apart from defining the blocks, features can be toggled through `config.h`:
-
-```c
-// String used to delimit block outputs in the status.
-#define DELIMITER "  "
-
-// Maximum number of Unicode characters that a block can output.
-#define MAX_BLOCK_OUTPUT_LENGTH 45
-
-// Control whether blocks are clickable.
-#define CLICKABLE_BLOCKS 1
-
-// Control whether a leading delimiter should be prepended to the status.
-#define LEADING_DELIMITER 0
-
-// Control whether a trailing delimiter should be appended to the status.
-#define TRAILING_DELIMITER 0
-```
-
-### Signalling changes
-
-Most status bars constantly rerun all scripts every few seconds. This is an
-option here, but a superior choice is to give your block a signal through which
-you can indicate it to update on relevant event, rather than have it rerun
-idly.
-
-For example, the volume block has the update signal `5` by default. I run
-`kill -39 $(pidof dwmblocks)` alongside my volume shortcuts in `dwm` to only
-update it when relevant. Just add `34` to your signal number! You could also
-run `pkill -RTMIN+5 dwmblocks`, but it's slower.
-
-To refresh all the blocks, run `kill -10 $(pidof dwmblocks)` or
-`pkill -SIGUSR1 dwmblocks`.
-
-> All blocks must have different signal numbers!
-
-### Clickable blocks
-
-Like `i3blocks`, this build allows you to build in additional actions into your
-scripts in response to click events. You can check out
-[my status bar scripts](https://github.com/UtkarshVerma/dotfiles/tree/main/.local/bin/statusbar)
-as references for using the `$BLOCK_BUTTON` variable.
-
-To use this feature, define the `CLICKABLE_BLOCKS` feature macro in your
-`config.h`:
-
-```c
-#define CLICKABLE_BLOCKS 1
-```
-
-Apart from that, you need `dwm` to be patched with
-[statuscmd](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/statuscmd/).

-[Luke's build of dwmblocks](https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/dwmblocks) and
-[Daniel Bylinka's statuscmd patch](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/statuscmd/).
