umberbar 🐏

minimalistic xmobar inspired status bar, in a terminal emulator.

rust implementation

This project was previously written in crystal (see crystal directory), it is being ported to rust. All versions >= 0.7 are rust based.

design goals and features

Mostly like its parent project umberwm:

• [x] kiss: where possible build upon existing crates, use alacritty for rendering
• [x] configuration as code (like umberwm)
• [x] support theming (as code), user defined palette
• [x] single file (~500 LoC) -- may be subject to change
• [ ] loads of themes

requirements

You need alacritty installed and in your path (this project will run alacritty)

You also need nerd fonts for logos and most themes to work.
