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
