A hackable bar/panel for X written in Go.

melonbar - A concurrent, hackable bar/panel for X written in Go.

INSTALLATION

go get github.com/onodera-punpun/melonbar

USAGE

The idea is that this bar is very "simple" to configure by just modifying the source code, à la suckless.

Users can configure the position, width, height and font of the bar in main.go. A bar consist of various blocks that display info, these blocks are definded in blocks.go.

melonbar's Issues

Add config.go

I'd suggest a file with some customizable values in the same vein of suckless programs, for example:

const (
	barX = 0
	barY = 0
	barW = 200
	barH = 15
	font = "FuraMono Nerd Font Mono:pixelsize=11.5:antialias=true:autohint=true:width=1"
)

Use ttf fonts instead of plan9

Any reason why cure.font is being used instead of adding a regular font path to a ttf?

Tried changing plan9font to xgraphics.ParseFont in x.go. It compiled fine but crashes when run.

Running melonbar immediately crashes

OS: arch
i3 for wm.
go version: 1.11.4

installed using go get github.com/onodera-punpun/melonbar
running /home/<user>/go/bin/melonbar very briefly creates the bar window (for only a few milliseconds), exits right after with the following message: 2019/01/13 23:36:26 no such file or directory (timestamp is just the current date)

Title doesn't clear when no window is focused in Herbstluftwm

Whenever I am not focused on any window the title block is not getting updated.

Error after starting melonbar

After doing go get, I ran:

go build
./melonbar

I then got the error 2019/01/14 12:03:24 dial tcp :6600: connect: connection refused

Any help is much appreciated :)

Vendoring dependencies

Hi,

Thanks for creating this project. I just had a super quick look at it, and it looks to me that dependencies are not vendored. Is there a particular reason for that?
