sbar

sbar is modular, asynchronous and configurable bar for dwm written in rust.

Features

• signal for updating each component
• yaml config file
• async
• per-component interval (and updating)
• status2d color support

note: sbar is still in early development

Installation

By cargo

cargo install sbar

Usage

sbar [-c configpath] [-v] [h]

Configuration

create $HOME/.config/sbar/config.yaml

see default config as example

built-in modules:

• exec - execute a command and return the result take params[0] as program name and params[1..len] as args
• memory - formatted memory
• battery - monitor battery (take battery index as param, default is 0)
• battery_icon - nerd font icon that show battery charging status
• time - formatted time
• echo - return all params joined together as string

property - params is list of string - interval is how often to update each component, in second not putting in interval use default which is never update - fg and bg: colors for that component, in this format: "#FFFFFF" requires status2d patch, and status2d_color: true in config - prefix and suffix: if exists will overwrite global prefix and suffix

(prefix and suffix is put before and after every components)

Signal

put signal in wanted component's config

- name: echo
  params:
    - TEST
  signal:
    44

then to call it, do

kill -44 $(pidof sbar)

replace 44 with your signal

Todo

• [x] signal support for updating, etc
• [x] per component update interval and signal
• [ ] make code not bad
