Clickable areas are in! Check out the man page or the github wiki and tell me if it works fine with multi-monitor setups

easysid · 2014-02-26 15:01:30

^ having trouble with clickable areas. Can't seem to get it to work.

 echo "%{A:echo hello}%{c}text here%{A}" | ./bar -p

gives no response

TheLemonMan · 2014-02-26 15:03:34

You should change the alignment before opening a clickable area

 echo "%{cA:echo hello}text here%{A}" | ./bar -p

easysid · 2014-02-26 15:25:36

^ no luck ...

 echo "%{A:echo hello}text here%{A}" | ./bar -p

doesn't print anything to terminal on click

You're missing the closing :

You and I both

from the wiki

wiki@bar-wip wrote:

%{A:reboot} Click here to reboot %{A}

Got it.

echo "%{c}%{A:echo hello:}text here%{A}" | ./bar -p

Works ! Thanks

But

echo "%{A:echo hello:}text here%{A}" | ./bar -p
                        OR
echo "%{l}%{A:echo hello:}text here%{A}" | ./bar -p

doesnt ???

Hah you're right. I've just fixed the code and the wiki/manpage

easysid · 2014-02-26 16:11:28

That was fast !!. Thanks a bunch.
All working now.

 echo "%{l} %{A:echo left:}left area%{A} %{c} %{A:echo center:}centre area%{A} %{r}%{A:echo right:}right area%{A}" | ./bar -p

great job.

Just a question: Why is the closing ':' required? Shouldn't the closing '}' do the job?

Because it's not required to have a single command per block, you can have something like

%{cA:echo hello:Bbrightyellow Ucyan +u}Hello%{-u}

EDIT: Post deleted. Was a scripting error. Not related to bar. Sorry for the trouble

Is there any way to only make the background transparent? I would like only the text to be displayed.
Edit: Doesn't look possible atm. But could you look into it please?

^ Should be possible using the wip branch.

Try editing "#define BAR OPACITY" in config.h. I set mine to 0.9 and it worked with compton.

Ploppz · 2014-03-12 17:37:19

easyid: Oh, awesome!

So in the wip version you don't have a config file anymore?

easysid · 2014-03-12 17:52:21

no . Everything can be configured at runtime. Also includes clickable areas.
As for stable, RobbieWT's answer should do it.

TheLemonMan · 2014-03-12 20:35:32

You really don't like readmes, don't you?
if a compoaitor is running then you can specify colors as #AARRGGBB where AA is the value of the alpha channel.
The config.h file is completely deprecated in the wip branch.

TheLemonMan · 2014-03-13 22:48:38

As suggested by Stebalien bar now just prints out the command associated with the clicked area instead of executing it directly. Just add something like

while read line; do eval "$line"; done

to your script and you're good to go!

Updated bar this evening to test commands but I ran into a font related problem! There are some random black lines trying to molest my soul.

bar -g x16+1280 -B "#1f1f22" -F '#a8a8a8' -f '*-stlarch-medium-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,-*-cure.se-medium-r-*-*-11-*-*-*-*-*-*-*'

TheLemonMan · 2014-03-15 11:24:16

Hrm, cannot reproduce it. Did it happen on older revisions too ?

Shinryuu · 2014-03-15 12:39:27

Mhh, it appeared after the git fetch update I did yesterday. Interestingly enough it only happens in the middle when center align is used. if I put the text in the left or right it works just fine.

Here's the whole script if you can find something fishy from it (line 76 is the line for the middle)

Fixed in the latest commit

enr1x · 2014-03-15 19:37:55

I can't get the two fonts to display at the same time. I am using this selector:

-misc-typicons-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1,-misc-dejavu sans-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1

and I can't get the characters that should be rendered with the second font. Inverting the order of the fonts does the opposite (I get normal text, but no typicons). Am I doing anything wrong with the selector? By the way, great work on the application! Cheers.

It's very likely that both fonts cover the same range of characters.

Actually I have been using, before the wip branch of bar, the Xft patch on AUR, and the behaviour was the one I wanted. I can take a screenshot of the expected behaviour if you wish.

TheLemonMan · 2014-03-16 08:59:28

Did it happen after a specific commit ?
Also, I can't find the typicons font anywhere, mind sending it to me to avoid blind testing ?
