integrated status text
Description
Allows dwm to handle the text by itself. You can think of it like a dwmblocks integration into dwm itself. This is extracted from my dwm build[0] in which you can find even more information.
Example:
`
/* fg command interval signal */
{ "#000000", "echo 'dwm block!", 10, 3},
`
fg: the foreground color of the individual block, for the background it uses the bg of SchemeStatus. You can swap behaviour uncommenting a comment in dwm.c (search for 'uncomment to inverse the colors')
command: it uses the output of the commands for the status text interval: in seconds, how much does it have to pass before updating the block.
interval: in seconds, how many seconds until the block it's updated
signal: have to be less than 30. This lets you update the block with
killby adding 35 to this value. For the block above it would be 34 + 3 = 37 ->kill -37 $(pidof dwm). These signals are linux dependant.
You can change $(pidof dwm) with $STATUSBAR to 'fix' signaling multiple
instances of dwm, since this patch also wraps the PID of dwm into the
$STATUSBAR enviromental variable.
Last thing, mouse actions. For this you need to handle the env variable
$BLOCK_BUTTON in a script, this is so you can easily reuse the scripts used
in dwmblocks. And remember that mouse actions update the block.
