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.
|
|
```
