b(ar) a(in't) r(ecursive) ========================= 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. Options ------- bar accepts a couple of command line switches. ``` -h Show the help and bail out. -p Make the bar permanent. -b Show the bar at the bottom of the screen. ``` 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. u<0-9> Selects the underline color from the palette. To reset the bg/fg color just pass 'r' as color index. l Aligns the text to the left. c Aligns the text to the center. r Aligns the text to the right. ```
