# A selection of information output tools for dmenu

These are a selection of independant tools for displaying various information 
about system status in dmenu. Some of them i.e. `volume` have options (up, down, mute...) 
which are selectable options in dmenu.  
!(https://notnull.click/media/4efcd7472bce49ff9fd91d39ba11c4faa499f558510cf2a6afe7468ca63fca97.mp4)
They are compiled separately, for example:
```nim
nim c pingclock
```
and then run with
```sh
./pingclock dmenu
or
./pingclock rofi
```
it can also be run without any arguments to receive a i3bar compatible json string

Personally, I have these bound to key combinations in i3. In fact, I have a seperate `bindsym` mode in which all these tools are accessible i.e. `$mod+i` to get to "info" mode then `p` to show pingclock.  
There's also an i3bar_tools_threaded folder with tools for use with i3bar/i3blocks which continously update. Currently these are not working as I recently switched from this as primary, to a secondary choice.  

These have some configuration variables explicit to me, you'll need to change them for you for them to be useful I imagine.  

I'm aware my code is messy. I'm aware my code is undocumented. But hopefully these things are simple enough to work out.
