But... why? There is already slstatus, which does an excellent job. One can make a shell script which fetches information from wttr.in (for example), add the call to that script to crontab, and have slstatus pick up that information. Even dwmblocks adds unnecessary functionality - why would a status indicator need to support mouse clicks at all? Its job is to display a minimum of information, not lead to windows with more information. You have to understand that for a program to be considered suckless, it needs to be straight to the point and minimal. Extra functionality is added through patches.
