Having this on the aur (and possibly on main when ironed out) would be great.

I have already packaged it for my personal repo here.

I already have experience packaging on the aur so if you don't want to maintain it there I'll gladly do it.

1st let me open with saying that this piece of software bridged the gap that separated me from a barless setup, nice work.

anyways, consider adding in a window and/or a class name on the popup window.
for instance I wanted to disable picom shadows but there is no way to target the popup window (xprop returns nothing).

cheers

If some input line and the next one have exactly the same width and height, the contents of the latter are printed over the previous line making the text overlay the existing one.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Choose a font like Noto Sans, DejaVu Sans, Times, Iosevka, Terminus, etc. and not like Lobster,
2. Make umess print "oe",
3. Make umess print "eo" right after that within the same run.

Overview

If input lines come too close to each other in time, some of them may be lost and never printed.

Steps to reproduce

Run

{ for line in 'first line' 'second line' 'third line'; do
        echo $line
        sleep .01
done; sleep 1; } | umess

One might need to reduce the intermediate sleep time or remove it altogether to see the effect.

Possible solution

When the input read from stdin contains multiple lines, use the last one instead of the first one.
