 # somebar - dwl-like bar for dwm
 
-This is extremely work in progress.
+![Screenshot](screenshot.png)
+
+This project is rather new. Beware of bugs.
 
 ## Dependencies
 
 * c++ compiler, meson, and ninja
-* Qt 5 GUI
-* libwayland
 * wayland-scanner
+* libwayland-client
+* libwayland-cursor
+* libcairo
+* libpango
+* libpangocairo
 
-    sudo apt install build-essential meson ninja qtbase5-dev libqt5core5a libqt5gui5 \
-        libwayland-bin libwayland-client0 libwayland-cursor0 libwayland-dev
+```

-dwl must have the [wayland-ipc patch](https://gitlab.com/raphaelr/dwl/-/raw/master/patches/wayland-ipc.patch) applied,
+**dwl must have the [wayland-ipc patch](https://gitlab.com/raphaelr/dwl/-/raw/master/patches/wayland-ipc.patch) applied**,
 since that's how the bar communicates with dwl.
 
 ## Configuration
 
-src/config.hpp
+Copy `src/config.def.hpp` to `src/config.hpp`, and adjust if needed.
 
 ## Building
 
     meson setup build
     ninja -C build
+    ./build/somebar
 
 ## Usage
 
 somebar doesn't use dwl's status feature. You can start somebar using dwl's `-s` option,
-but if you do, close stdout.
+but if you do, close stdin, as somebar will not read from it.
+
+Somebar can be controlled by writing to `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/somebar-0`. The following
+commands are supported:
+
+* `status TEXT`: Updates the status bar
+* `hide MONITOR` Hides somebar on the specified monitor
+* `shows MONITOR` Shows somebar on the specified monitor
+* `toggle MONITOR` Toggles somebar on the specified monitor
+
+MONITOR is an zxdg_output_v1 name, which can be determined e.g. using `weston-info`.
+Additionally, MONITOR can be `all` (all monitors) or `selected` (the monitor with focus).
+
+Commands can be sent either by writing to the file name above, or equivalently by calling
+somebar with the `-c` argument. For example: `somebar -c toggle all`. This is recommended
+for shell scripts, as there is no race-free way to write to a file only if it exists.
