# dwmblocks-async - mike's build

This is a build/configuration of [dwmblocks-async](https://github.com/UtkarshVerma/dwmblocks-async). Vanilla [dwmblocks](https://github.com/torrinfail/dwmblocks) runs blocks sequentially, which means if one block freezes or simply takes a long time to load (for example, a weather block trying to pull from the internet when you don't have connection), all subsequent blocks have to wait on it.

## Installation

```sh
git clone https://git.mjwilson.org/mike/dwmblocks-async.git
cd dwmblocks-async
sudo make clean install
```

## Usage

Add dwmblocks (the binary is still called dwmblocks, **not** dwmblocks-async) to your ~/.xinitrc to run in the background at login/startup:
```sh ~/.xinitrc
dwmblocks &
exec dwm
```
