PART TWO IS HERE BABY, the new and improved shadobar! with more colors and far more sexiness!! My complete and beautiful polybar. Took a while but well worth the beauty and the functionality! All rofi files that are integrated into the bar are in the rofi/ directory, that goes for scripts as well.
- Most visible module is fully interactive.
- *Some parts scroll, some parts just clicking (right, left, mid).
- It's quite pretty (atleast in my opinion!)
- very clean and compact look, the underlines and overlines and the other features I added make it so much more beautiful.
- Quite simple to understand
- Simple to change up and make perfect for yourself!
-
I3wm Support/Fork (anyone willing to help, much appreciated) -
Make hotswapping available
Honestly only the config-xmonad is updated because I only use xmonad now, this doesn't hinder
you at all though from using shadobar2.0 though because the only difference is the workspaces part.
I have working workspaces for bspwm and i3 (I believe) setup in their separate config files, but
config-xmonad is the most updated and will be from now on.
- first cd into ~/.config then clone the repo
cd ~/.config; git clone https://github.com/Shadorain/shadobar-2.git - cd into shadobar directory
cd ~/.config/shadobar/ - Copy/move the entire rofi directory into ~/.config
cp -r ~/.config/shadobar/rofi ~/.config/rofi - (Optional) finally set the line below where you would like shadobar to auto start from.
echo "polybar shadobar -c ~/.config/shadobar/config &" >> ~/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc(in my this case: bspwmrc)
- Follow each of those steps above, the only change you will need is to swap the i3 config with the bspwm one.
mv ~/.config/shadobar/config-i3 ~/.config/shadobar/config
( Please give feedback if certain things do not work )
- Polybar of course!
sudo pacman -S polybar - (Optional for functionality) Rofi and Dmenu
sudo pacman -S rofi dmenu
sudo pacman -S otf-ipafontyay -S ttf-iosevka ttf-font-logos ttf-mplus otf-mplus otf-font-awesome-5-free
