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.

How to compile
There are some configuration variables explicit to me, you'll need to change them for you for them to be useful I imagine.
Configuration variables are compile - there are no config files or runtime parameters (except for "rofi")
Each tool is compiled separately, for example:
nim c pingclock
and then run with
./pingclock
or
./pingclock rofi
How to use
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.
It's completely up to you how to run them, they're just simple CLI tools really.
You can also set the volume and brightness levels by typing a numeric figure into the dmenu/rofi input box
Dependencies
- dmenu, rofi, yad (for calendar)
- basically any tool that's used to gather the information.
- "tools" for audio etc. (
pamixer,ncpamixer, etc.) can be set in the source
Full disclosure
I'm aware my code is messy.
I'm aware my code is mostly undocumented.
But hopefully these things are simple enough to work out.
