B<lemonbar> (formerly known as B<bar>) is a lightweight bar entirely based on XCB. Provides full UTF-8 support, basic formatting, RandR and Xinerama support and EWMH compliance without wasting your precious memory.
Set the window geometry. If a parameter is omitted it's filled with the default value. If the I<y> parameter is specified along with the B<-b> switch then the position is relative to the bottom of the screen.
Set the background color of the bar. I<color> might be either in hex format (#aarrggbb) or in the symbolic name format (eg. white, indianred, darkgray). If no compositor such as compton or xcompmgr is running the alpha channel is silently ignored.
lemonbar provides a screenrc-inspired formatting syntax to allow full customization at runtime. Every formatting block is opened with B<%{> and closed by B<}> and accepts the following commands, the parser tries it's best to handle malformed input.
Swap the current background and foreground colors.
=item B<l>
Aligns the following text to the left side of the screen.
=item B<c>
Aligns the following text to the center of the screen.
=item B<r>
Aligns the following text to the right side of the screen.
=item B<B>I<color>
Set the text background color. The parameter I<color> can be I<-> or a color in one of the formats mentioned before. The special value I<-> resets the color to the default one.
=item B<F>I<color>
Set the text foreground color. The parameter I<color> can be I<-> or a color in one of the formats mentioned before. The special value I<-> resets the color to the default one.
Set the font used to draw the following text. The parameter I<index> is a 1-based index of the font list supplied to bar. Any other value (for example I<->) resets the bar to normal behaviour (matching the first font that can be used for that character). If the selected font can't be used to draw a character, lemonbar will fall back to normal behaviour for that character.
Set the text underline color. The parameter I<color> can be I<-> or a color in one of the formats mentioned before. The special value I<-> resets the color to the default one.
Create a clickable area starting from the current position, when the area is clicked I<command> is executed. The area is closed when a B<A> token, not followed by : is encountered.
The I<button> field is optional, it defaults to the left button, and it's a number ranging from 1 to 5 which maps to the left, middle, right, scroll up and scroll down movements. Your mileage may vary.
Clicking on an area makes lemonbar output the command to stdout, followed by a newline, allowing the user to pipe it into a script, execute it or simply ignore it. Simple and powerful, that's it.
