资源说明：daemon which provides a statusbar for wmii via libixp's 9p filesystem
DESIGN RATIONALE:
=================
dwm_statusbar
-------------
Provides a statusbar for dwm by periodically setting the name of the
root window.
wmii_statusbar
--------------
Provides a statusbar for wmii by periodically writing a string out to
/rbar/status via libixp.
It aims to be more efficent than a pipeline of programs kicked off by a shell
script. Plus, I was having problems with that pipeline hanging around whenever
I re-execed wmii - the effect was two or more processes competing to update my
statusbar.
This version of wmii_statusbar works with the latest Hg version of wmii - it
won't work with the outdated wmii tarball that everybody seems to be tripping
over.
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
=====================
wmii_statusbar
--------------
1. Prerequisites:
libixp: libixp is a stand-alone client/server 9P library
http://libs.suckless.org/libixp
alsa-lib: for volume information. If you don't want to display the volume,
you can hack alsavolume.[ch] out of the Makefile, and remove
getAlsaVolume() from wmii_statusbar.c.
2. Hack wmii_statusbar.[ch] to your liking. By default, you'll get a statusbar
that looks like this:
Vol:XX% CPU:XX% Mem:XX% Bat:hrs.min %a %D %I:%M%p
It will refresh itself every 2 seconds.
3. Finally, you need to tell your wmiirc how to kick this off. In my wmiirc, I
replaced the Action status stanza with this:
Action status
set +xv
if wmiir remove /rbar/status 2>/dev/null; then
sleep 2
fi
echo colors "$WMII_FOCUSCOLORS" | wmiir create /rbar/status
$HOME/.wmii-hg/wmii_statusbar
