nortonham I'm using cwm on netbsd. I'm just curious to see what others use as a panel or a statusbar on similar minimal/tiling window managers. I've used oxbar in the past, but that was developed for openbsd only.
rvp nortonham I'm just curious to see what others use as a panel or a statusbar on similar [...] top Pretty chunky for a status-bar so I have to give it a whole dedicated virtual screen.
nortonham rvp lol yeah....top/htop/bytop etc are all useful. I was thinking more about statusbar's in the lemonbar style
oui rvp top Pretty chunky for a status-bar so I have to give it a whole dedicated virtual screen. I love how this is a perfectly executed joke, but also your actual setup.
nortonham Jay I believe so. I've used xfce4 panel with cwm before, I just didn't like the way they worked together. i know there's a few different lemonbar/polybar type programs out there. I'm just curious to see what others use and how they set them up.
pin nortonham I'm just curious to see what others use and how they set them up. I'm using leftwm, which has default configuration files for lemonbar. It uses liquid to filter outputs and parse them into lemonbar. This makes it slightly easier to use. I'm using a fork, lemonbar-xft which, like the name suggests, supports Xft.
JuvenalUrbino nortonham i know there's a few different lemonbar/polybar type programs out there In the past I've made lemonbar parse a conky script, which represents a nice and easy way of getting anything you wanmt on a status bar.
rvp oui I love how this is a perfectly executed joke, but also your actual setup. My impish side just couldn't resist derailing that discussion a bit :D. (As penance I'll port oxbar to Net/FreeBSD...)
nortonham oui oui I love how this is a perfectly executed joke, but also your actual setup. I remember using xmonad, and one workspace was just an xterm running screen with htop as the first pane, so yeah, I've done something similar lol
nortonham pin Yeah I read about the differences between lemonbar and lemonbar-xft. I might look in to leftwm, looks neat, and the integration with lemonbar-xft seems useful
nortonham rvp rvp (As penance I'll port oxbar to Net/FreeBSD...) Oh please port it to net please. I was actually thinking of using oxbar as a way to teach myself how to port software, but I have no idea how complicated that would be.
nortonham nia yeah maybe this is the way forward, although my t420 needs a new battery so it's always plugged in lol
