# 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. They are compiled separately, for example: ```nim nim c pingclock ``` 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.
