flockerl

A simple xcb desktop clock.

What does it do?

It can

• show the time
• change color on low battery (Yellow from 20%, Red from 10%)
• send a warning with herbe (battery low, battery critical)

It is really simple, change the code and recompile to configure it, the basic settings are defined at the top.

Dependencies

• herbe for the battery warnings
• upower for the battery checks

Building

Build dependencies is just xcb, on Alpine Linux it is called libxcb-dev but depending on what you are using it could be xcb-dev, xcb-devel, libxcb-devel or something along those lines.

gcc flockerl.c -lxcb -o flockerl
// Then copy it to your favourite location, e.g.:
cp flockerl ~/.local/bin/

Notes

The battery warnings are in german, you can change them in the definitions at the start. It can only use X11 fonts at the moment, I may look into that but I don't know, it does the job.
