Questions regarding white space about uebersicht

[felixhageloh]

Hey Andrea, can you provide the full widget? I tried the command you have me and it seems to work fine if I wrap it in a pre tag. I had other issues, but the newlines came out as expected

The full widget is

command: "/Users/andrea/Applications/cal_list.sh"

refreshFrequency: 10000 #ms

render: (output) ->
    "<pre>#{output}</pre>"

style: """
    left: 100px
    top: 100px
    color: #fff
    width: 600px
    height: 200px
    font-family: STHeiti
    padding-left: 5px
    text-shadow: 2px 2px #000000
"""

Ok, I tried with a different script, that uses newlines as well, but not ASCII escape sequences, and that works perfectly.
I don't think the escape sequences could cause this behavior, though.

Yeah it was hard to tell what was happening from the screenshots you sent. Get a lot of errors when I run the script you sent me. Also I removed the source ~/.bashrc
However I got decent results when I used just:

command: "icalBuddy -f -sd -df \"%a, %d %B %Y\" 2> /dev/null"

you need to replace icalBuddy with the full path the binary (/usr/local/bin/icalBuddy in your case I think).
I've added the 2> /dev/null to get rid of all the errors I get.
The result has new lines, but escape sequences come out as plain text and don't change the color of course.

Ok, thanks for your help.
Please feel free to close the issue
