# somebar - dwl-like bar for dwm
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This project is rather new. Beware of bugs.
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
* c++ compiler, meson, and ninja
|
|
* wayland-scanner
|
|
* libwayland-client
|
|
* libwayland-cursor
|
|
* libcairo
|
|
* libpango
|
|
* libpangocairo
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt install build-essential meson ninja \
|
|
libwayland-bin libwayland-client0 libwayland-cursor0 libwayland-dev \
|
|
libcairo2 libcairo2-dev \
|
|
libpango-1.0-0 libpango1.0-dev libpangocairo-1.0-0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**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
|
|
|
|
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 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.
