=========================
2012 (C) The Lemon Man
A lightweight bar based on XCB (yay). Provides foreground/background color
switching along with text alignment (screw you dzen!), nothing less and
nothing more.

Configuration
-------------
Change the config.h file and you're good to go!
The text background and foreground are respectively the first and the second
entries in the palette (COLOR0 and COLOR1).

Colors
------
Attached there's palette.pl, an handy tool that extracts a palette from your
X colors and returns it ready to be pasted in the configuration file.
```
palette.pl <.Xresources / .Xdefaults path>
```
If you keep your colors in a separate file just feed that file and you're good
to go.

Text formatting
---------------
All the format commands are preceded by a backslash (\\).
To draw a backslash just backslash escape it (\\\\).
```
f<0-9> Selects the text foreground color from the palette.
b<0-9> Selects the text background color from the palette.
