✨ NAME ✨

example-refresh-hooks β€” the adorable little example that shows you how to use refresh hooks, bestie πŸ’–

(this one lives in the RXVT-UNICODE family, and the page you're reading is literally called urxvt-example-refresh-hooks(1) β€” iykyk 🫢)


πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

Okay so picture this: it throws up a very simple digital clock in the upper right corner of the window. That's it. That's the whole demo. πŸ•βœ¨

But the real reason it exists? It's illustrating how you go about overwriting the refresh callbacks so you can make your own overlays or your own changes. It's giving "starter template with main character energy" β€” you take the callback-overwriting thing and run with it, fr fr. πŸ’…

ngl it's intentionally basic β€” that's the point. It's a teaching example, not a fully-featured clock app. Don't come for it. 😭

🌸 okay bye bestie β€” this iconic lil page comes to you from version 9.31, dated 2023-12-02, and yes it's the urxvt-example-refresh-hooks(1) joint from the RXVT-UNICODE manual. slay, hydrate, and go overwrite some callbacks πŸ’œπŸŽ€
