Uniblocks: Status bar agnostic module generator

Uniblocks wraps all of your status bar modules into a single string that updates only the part that has changed.
This string can be used with any status bar application since Uniblocks itself handles all the updating.

Features

• The modules can be updated without the status bar's interventions
• Updating is possible both periodically and manually
• Different modules can be updated at different intervals
• Can be used with any status bar application
• Tiny & fast ( hint: ~80 lines of POSIX shellscript with only sleep calls)

Dependencies

• mkfifo, sleep

Installation

git clone https://github.com/salman-abedin/uniblocks.git && cd uniblocks && make && sudo make install

Usage

• Modify ~/.config/uniblocksrc according to your particular status bar setup.

• Script belows commands as necessary.

Command	Effect
uniblocks --gen,-g	Prints the status string according to the config
uniblocks --update,-u <TAG>	Manually updates individual module (e.g. The volume module)

Update

cd uniblocks
git pull --no-rebase && sudo make install

Uninstallation

cd uniblocks
sudo make uninstall
