## Questionaire

### What is dwmblocks?

[dwmblocks](https://github.com/torrinfail/dwmblocks) is a modular status bar for the dwm (dynamic window manager) window manager. dwm is known for its minimalist design, and dwmblocks extends this philosophy by offering a customizable status bar that provides information about the system's status and other relevant data.

unlike traditional status bars, dwmblocks is highly modular, allowing users to easily add or remove blocks of information based on their preferences. these blocks can display various types of information, such as system resources (cpu usage, memory usage), date and time, battery status, volume levels, network information, and much more.

dwmblocks is written in c and designed to be lightweight and efficient, aligning with the suckless philosophy of simplicity and minimalism. users can customize dwmblocks to suit their specific needs and integrate it seamlessly with their dwm setup, enhancing their overall workflow and productivity.

### How to incoportate scripts into dwmblocks

To incorporate shell scripts into dwmblocks, you can utilize the power of shell scripting to fetch and display various system information or execute custom commands. Here's a general outline of how you can do this:

- Create a designated scripts directory:

```bash

mkdir ~/dwmblocks/scripts/

```

- Move your script to the directory and mod it:

```bash

mv script.sh ~/dwmblocks/scripts/

chmod +x ~/dwmblocks/scripts/script.sh 

```

- Point your blocks.h to the script inside the ``static const``

```config

{"  ",   "~/dwmblocks/scripts/script.sh",	1,	0},

```
