EDIT: Would it be hard to make "overline" instead of underline?

I like the idea What about making the underlines on the top of the bar when its positioned in the bottom of the screen ?

Šaran · 2012-07-24 08:35:54

I think it would look better if underlines were at the screen edge, eg. on top when bar is on top and current behaviour when it's on bottom.

Does it support UTF-8 ?

I'll make it an option then. (As always, mind adding it as a github ticket so i don't forget it ?

When bar displays the characters using any font I try they become too spaced apart and off-centered. Looking at other people's screenshots of bar their fonts look fine, here is an example of what I mean:

The top is bar, the bottom is dmenu. My font string that I pass to dmenu is identical to the one I put in bar's config.h so I don't know why it isn't spaced properly. I have a small feeling that the launcher script I'm using may be inserting extra whitespace or something causing the effect but then again the spaces look too small to be white space.. I'm a bash noob but I'm learning Legitimate bug or my fault?

Latest commit adds toggleable overlines/underlines

I assumed that all the fonts were monospaced so i used the same width for all the chars. This is now fixed in the latest commit.

Great, thanks!
But, here is a font size related bug. Ohsnap size 13 doesn't get overlined, but it does get underlined.
Size 12 solves it.

Duh? Can you upload an image ?

Šaran · 2012-07-25 18:13:20

http://ompldr.org/vZXY1eg - Font size 12
http://ompldr.org/vZXY2MA - Font size 13
But it will get underlined with both sizes.
This makes no difference for me, just wanted to let you know.

Thanks for the fix, font displays perfectly now. I found color related bug now though ;\. When I pass the color "#393C39" (grey) as any COLOR(i) it gets incorrectly interpreted as blue ("#3986CE" according to gcolor2). Here is my config.h.

TheLemonMan · 2012-07-26 09:17:11

The underline bug is fixed
The color bug might be due to the fact that Xorg has a palette for each screen and gets the nearest color if the specified one doesn't match, I'll look into it.

simon.swe · 2012-07-26 12:36:21

the latest version segfaults for me.. core dumped.
anyone else?
I will try and do again

Show your config and input given.

Sirsurthur · 2012-07-28 15:39:58

Hello !

Thanks !

Thank you! And goodbye dzen!

kalle97 · 2012-07-30 17:10:46

I can't compile it on FreeBSD 9.0.

I can't put out the error messages since I don't know how to copy from urxvt(sorry). But it seems like it doesn't find XCB or something. Can someone help?

Thanks.

Shinryuu · 2012-09-04 13:17:10

There are couple of weird things I can't seem to figure out at all. Overline/underline doesn't work, it just draws a background colored line across the whole bar. Also BAR_BOTTOM doesn't seem to work until you use "bar -b" command. I can't find any errors

c00kiemon5ter · 2012-09-04 13:25:50

yep, easy fix, will send a pull request in 30secs!

edit: oh, I was late

Fixed the bottom setting problem, it was a very silly mistake When you pop on irc ping me so we can troubleshoot the underline problem as I couldn't reproduce it here.

I made this script based on one of the example by c00kiemon5ter iirc:

Can someone help me making "One Two Three" appear as only "One" for desktop 0, "Two" for desktop 1, "Three" for desktop 2 if you understand what I mean?

Thanks.

Speaking of that, how does one pipe DZEN in a good way?

Mhh, I don't really understand your question but I noticed that you have an extra space in desktop "One".

# desktop names                                                                       
ds=(" One" "Two" "Three")
