Modules are not clickable #21

Closed JimPix1 closed 2 years ago

JimPix1 commented 2 years ago

Trying to switch to lukes build of dwmblocks to this but it seems to be impossible.. Can't click any modules and I have made the changes to the statuscmd patch (I think I did I did it right, the exact line to change wasn't there but something similar was) so clicking does nothing. I also can't get icons to work unless I change all my scripts to use echo and then echo the icon #20 FYI I'm using my own build that's based off of Lukes.

I got Luke's latest dwmblocks and realized that the scrolling bug has been fixed with a pull request. What I really want now is the asynchronous execution of modules. I have my own update checker that takes several seconds to load on boot/dwmblocks refresh and perhaps if you could guide me as to how I would add the feature into Luke's build? In that case everything would work fine for me.

Module clickability works fine without any issues. The cause is most likely dwm not sending and signals to the dwmblocks process.

This has already been discussed in #11, so please refer to it for debugging methodology.

For async, the entire approach to the problem changes. Nevertheless, I feel it's a waste of your effort to try to integrate two really small projects (~300 lines of code) together.

Just pick whichever one does the job for you.
