-** Icon Patterns
+*** Icon Patterns
+
+ Some monitors allow usage of strings that depend on some integer
+ value from 0 to 8 by replacing all occurrences of =%%= with it
+ (i.e. =<icon=/path/to/icon_%%.xpm/>= will be interpreted as
+ =<icon=/path/to/icon_3.xpm/>= when the value is =3=, also =%= is
+ interpreted as =%=, =%%= as =3=, =%%%= as =3%=, =%%%%= as =33= and so
+ on). Essentially it allows to replace vertical bars with custom
+ icons. For example,
+
+ #+begin_src haskell
+ Run Brightness
+ [ "-t", "<ipat>"
+ , "--"
+ , "--brightness-icon-pattern", "<icon=bright_%%.xpm/>"
+ ] 30
+ #+end_src
+
+ Will display =bright_0.xpm= to =bright_8.xpm= depending on current
+ brightness value.
+
+*** Default Monitor Arguments
+
+ These are the options available for all monitors:
+
+ - =-t= /string/ Output template
+
+ - Template for the monitor output. Field names must be enclosed
+ between pointy brackets (=<foo>=) and will be substituted by the
+ computed values. You can also specify the foreground (and
+ optionally, background) color for a region by bracketing it between
+ =<fc=fgcolor>= (or =<fc=fgcolor,bgcolor>=) and =</fc>=. The rest of
+ the template is output verbatim.
+ - Long option: =--template=
+ - Default value: per monitor (see above).
+
+ - =-H= /number/ The high threshold.
+
+ - Numerical values higher than /number/ will be displayed with the
+ color specified by =-h= (see below).
+ - Long option: =--High=
+ - Default value: 66
+
+ - =-L= /number/ The low threshold.
+
+ - Numerical values higher than /number/ and lower than the high
+ threshold will be displayed with the color specified by =-n= (see
+ below). Values lower than /number/ will use the =-l= color.
+ - Long option: =--Low=
+ - Default value: 33
+
+ - =-h= /color/ High threshold color.
+
+ - Color for displaying values above the high threshold. /color/ can be
+ either a name (e.g. "blue") or an hexadecimal RGB (e.g. "#FF0000").
+ - Long option: =--high=
+ - Default: none (use the default foreground).
+
+ - =-n= /color/ Color for 'normal' values
+
+ - Color used for values greater than the low threshold but lower than
+ the high one.
+ - Long option: =--normal=
+ - Default: none (use the default foreground).

-Will display =bright_0.xpm= to =bright_8.xpm= depending on current
-brightness value.
+ - When set to a true designator ("True", "Yes" or "On"), optional
+ value suffixes such as the '%' symbol or optional units will be
+ displayed.
+ - Long option: =--suffix=
+ - Default: False.
-** Default Monitor Arguments
+ - =-p= /number/ Percentages padding
-These are the options available for all monitors:
+ - Width, in number of digits, for quantities representing percentages.
+ For instance =-p 3= means that all percentages in the monitor will
+ be represented using 3 digits.
+ - Long option: =--ppad=
+ - Default value: 0 (don't pad)
-- =-t= /string/ Output template
+ - =-d= /number/ Decimal digits
- - Template for the monitor output. Field names must be enclosed
- between pointy brackets (=<foo>=) and will be substituted by the
- computed values. You can also specify the foreground (and
- optionally, background) color for a region by bracketing it between

- - Numerical values higher than /number/ will be displayed with the
- color specified by =-h= (see below).
- - Long option: =--High=
- - Default value: 66
+ - Minimum width, in number of characters, of the fields in the monitor
+ template. Values whose printed representation is shorter than this
+ value will be padded using the padding characters given by the =-c=
+ option with the alignment specified by =-a= (see below).
+ - Long option: =--minwidth=
+ - Default: 0
-- =-L= /number/ The low threshold.
+ - =-M= /number/ Maximum field width
- - Numerical values higher than /number/ and lower than the high
- threshold will be displayed with the color specified by =-n= (see
- below). Values lower than /number/ will use the =-l= color.
- - Long option: =--Low=
- - Default value: 33
+ - Maximum width, in number of characters, of the fields in the monitor
+ template. Values whose printed representation is longer than this
+ value will be truncated.
+ - Long option: =--maxwidth=
+ - Default: 0 (no maximum width)
-- =-h= /color/ High threshold color.
+ - =-e= /string/ Maximum width ellipsis
- - Color for displaying values above the high threshold. /color/ can be
- either a name (e.g. "blue") or an hexadecimal RGB (e.g. "#FF0000").
- - Long option: =--high=
- - Default: none (use the default foreground).
+ - Ellipsis to be added to the field when it has reached its max width.
+ - Long option: =--maxwidthellipsis=
+ - Default: "" (no ellipsis)
-- =-n= /color/ Color for 'normal' values
+ - =-w= /number/ Fixed field width
- - Color used for values greater than the low threshold but lower than
- the high one.
- - Long option: =--normal=
- - Default: none (use the default foreground).
+ - All fields will be set to this width, padding or truncating as
+ needed.
+ - Long option: =--width=
+ - Default: 0 (variable width)
-- =-l= /color/ The low threshold color
+ - =-T= /number/ Maximum total width
- - Color for displaying values below the low threshold.
- - Long option: =--low=
- - Default: none (use the default foreground).
+ - Maximum total width of the text.
+ - Long option: =--maxtwidth=
+ - Default: 0 (no limit)
-- =-S= /boolean/ Display optional suffixes
+ - =-E= /string/ Maximum total width ellipsis
- - When set to a true designator ("True", "Yes" or "On"), optional
- value suffixes such as the '%' symbol or optional units will be
- displayed.
- - Long option: =--suffix=
- - Default: False.
+ - Ellipsis to be added to the total text when it has reached its max
+ width.
+ - Long option: =--maxtwidthellipsis=
+ - Default: "" (no ellipsis)
-- =-p= /number/ Percentages padding
+ - =-c= /string/
- - Width, in number of digits, for quantities representing percentages.
- For instance =-p 3= means that all percentages in the monitor will
- be represented using 3 digits.
- - Long option: =--ppad=
- - Default value: 0 (don't pad)
+ - Characters used for padding. The characters of /string/ are used
+ cyclically. E.g., with =-P +- -w 6=, a field with value "foo" will
+ be represented as "+-+foo".
+ - Long option: =--padchars=
+ - Default value: " "
+
+ - =-a= r|l Field alignment
+
+ - Whether to use right (r) or left (l) alignment of field values when
+ padding.
+ - Long option: =--align=
+ - Default value: r (padding to the left)
-- =-d= /number/ Decimal digits
+ - =-b= /string/ Bar background
- - Number of digits after the decimal period to use in float values.
- - Long option: =--ddigits=
- - Default value: 0 (display only integer part)
+ - Characters used, cyclically, to draw the background of bars. For
+ instance, if you set this option to "·.", an empty bar will look
+ like this: =·.·.·.·.·.=
+ - Long option: =--bback=
+ - Default value: ":"
+
+ - =-f= /string/ Bar foreground
+
+ - Characters used, cyclically, to draw the foreground of bars.
+ - Long option: =--bfore=
+ - Default value: "#"
+
+ - =-W= /number/ Bar width
+
+ - Total number of characters used to draw bars.
+ - Long option: =--bwidth=
+ - Default value: 10
+ - Special value: 0. When this parameter is 0, the percentage to
+ display is interpreted as a position in the bar foreground string
+ (given by =-f=), and the character at that position is displayed.
+
+ - =-x= /string/ N/A string
+
+ - String to be used when the monitor is not available
+ - Long option: =--nastring=
+ - Default value: "N/A"
+
+ Commands' arguments must be set as a list. E.g.:
+
+ #+begin_src haskell
+ Run Weather "EGPF" ["-t", "<station>: <tempC>C"] 36000
+ #+end_src
+
+ In this case xmobar will run the weather monitor, getting information
+ for the weather station ID EGPF (Glasgow Airport, as a homage to GHC)
+ every hour (36000 tenth of seconds), with a template that will output
+ something like:
+
+ #+begin_src shell
+ Glasgow Airport: 16.0C
+ #+end_src
+
+*** Battery Monitors
+***** =Battery Args RefreshRate=
+
+ Same as
+
+ #+begin_src haskell
+ BatteryP ["BAT", "BAT0", "BAT1", "BAT2"] Args RefreshRate
+ #+end_src
+
+***** =BatteryP Dirs Args RefreshRate=
+
+ - Aliases to =battery=
+
+ - Dirs: list of directories in =/sys/class/power_supply/= where to look
+ for the ACPI files of each battery. Example: =["BAT0","BAT1","BAT2"]=.
+ Only up to 3 existing directories will be searched.
+
+ - Args: default monitor arguments, plus the following specific ones
+ (these options, being specific to the monitor, are to be specified
+ after a =--= in the argument list):
+
+ - =-O=: string for AC "on" status (default: "On")
+ - =-i=: string for AC "idle" status (default: "On")
+ - =-o=: string for AC "off" status (default: "Off")
+ - =-L=: low power (=watts=) threshold (default: 10)
+ - =-H=: high power threshold (default: 12)
+ - =-l=: color to display power lower than the =-L= threshold
+ - =-m=: color to display power lower than the =-H= threshold
+ - =-h=: color to display power higher than the =-H= threshold
+ - =-p=: color to display positive power (battery charging)
+ - =-f=: file in =/sys/class/power_supply= with AC info (default:
+ "AC/online")
+ - =-A=: a number between 0 and 100, threshold below which the action
+ given by =-a=, if any, is performed (default: 5)
+ - =-a=: a string with a system command that is run when the percentage
+ left in the battery is less or equal than the threshold given by the
+ =-A= option. If not present, no action is undertaken.
+ - =-P=: to include a percentage symbol in =left=.
+ - =--on-icon-pattern=: dynamic string for current battery charge when
+ AC is "on" in =leftipat=.
+ - =--off-icon-pattern=: dynamic string for current battery charge when
+ AC is "off" in =leftipat=.
+ - =--idle-icon-pattern=: dynamic string for current battery charge
+ when AC is "idle" in =leftipat=.
+ - =--lows=: string for AC "off" status and power lower than the =-L=
+ threshold (default: "")
+ - =--mediums=: string for AC "off" status and power lower than the
+ =-H= threshold (default: "")
+ - =--highs=: string for AC "off" status and power higher than the =-H=
+ threshold (default: "")
+
+ - Variables that can be used with the =-t/--template= argument:
+ =left=, =leftbar=, =leftvbar=, =leftipat=, =timeleft=, =watts=,
+ =acstatus=
+
+ - Default template: =Batt: <watts>, <left>% / <timeleft>=
+
+ - Example (note that you need "--" to separate regular monitor options
+ from Battery's specific ones):
+
+ #+begin_src haskell
+ Run BatteryP ["BAT0"]
+ ["-t", "<acstatus><watts> (<left>%)",
+ "-L", "10", "-H", "80", "-p", "3",
+ "--", "-O", "<fc=green>On</fc> - ", "-i", "",
+ "-L", "-15", "-H", "-5",
+ "-l", "red", "-m", "blue", "-h", "green",
+ "-a", "notify-send -u critical 'Battery running out!!'",
+ "-A", "3"]
+ 600
+ #+end_src
+
+ In the above example, the thresholds before the =--= separator affect
+ only the =<left>= and =<leftbar>= fields, while those after the
+ separator affect how =<watts>= is displayed. For this monitor, neither
+ the generic nor the specific options have any effect on =<timeleft>=.
+ We are also telling the monitor to execute the unix command
+ =notify-send= when the percentage left in the battery reaches 6%.
+
+ It is also possible to specify template variables in the =-O= and =-o=
+ switches, as in the following example:
+
+ #+begin_src haskell
+ Run BatteryP ["BAT0"]
+ ["-t", "<acstatus>"
+ , "-L", "10", "-H", "80"
+ , "-l", "red", "-h", "green"
+ , "--", "-O", "Charging", "-o", "Battery: <left>%"
+ ] 10
+ #+end_src
+
+ - The "idle" AC state is selected whenever the AC power entering the
+ battery is zero.
+
+***** =BatteryN Dirs Args RefreshRate Alias=
+
+ Works like =BatteryP=, but lets you specify an alias for the
+ monitor other than "battery". Useful in case you one separate
+ monitors for more than one battery.
+*** Cpu and Memory Monitors
+***** =Cpu Args RefreshRate=
+
+ - Aliases to =cpu=
+ - Args: default monitor arguments, plus:
+
+ - =--load-icon-pattern=: dynamic string for cpu load in =ipat=
+
+ - Thresholds refer to percentage of CPU load
+ - Variables that can be used with the =-t/--template= argument:
+ =total=, =bar=, =vbar=, =ipat=, =user=, =nice=, =system=, =idle=,
+ =iowait=
+ - Default template: =Cpu: <total>%=
+
+***** =MultiCpu Args RefreshRate=
+
+ - Aliases to =multicpu=
+ - Args: default monitor arguments, plus:
+
+ - =--load-icon-pattern=: dynamic string for overall cpu load in
+ =ipat=.
+ - =--load-icon-patterns=: dynamic string for each cpu load in
+ =autoipat=, =ipat{i}=. This option can be specified several times.
+ nth option corresponds to nth cpu.
+ - =--fallback-icon-pattern=: dynamic string used by =autoipat= and
+ =ipat{i}= when no =--load-icon-patterns= has been provided for
+ =cpu{i}=
+ - =--contiguous-icons=: flag (no value needs to be provided) that
+ causes the load icons to be drawn without padding.
+
+ - Thresholds refer to percentage of CPU load
+ - Variables that can be used with the =-t/--template= argument:
+ =autototal=, =autobar=, =autovbar=, =autoipat=, =autouser=,
+ =autonice=, =autosystem=, =autoidle=, =total=, =bar=, =vbar=, =ipat=,
+ =user=, =nice=, =system=, =idle=, =total0=, =bar0=, =vbar0=, =ipat0=,
+ =user0=, =nice0=, =system0=, =idle0=, ... The auto* variables
+ automatically detect the number of CPUs on the system and display one
+ entry for each.
+ - Default template: =Cpu: <total>%=
-- =-m= /number/ Minimum field width
+***** =CpuFreq Args RefreshRate=
- - Minimum width, in number of characters, of the fields in the monitor
- template. Values whose printed representation is shorter than this
- value will be padded using the padding characters given by the =-c=
- option with the alignment specified by =-a= (see below).
- - Long option: =--minwidth=
- - Default: 0
+ - Aliases to =cpufreq=
-- =-M= /number/ Maximum field width

- Same as
-
- #+begin_src haskell
- BatteryP ["BAT", "BAT0", "BAT1", "BAT2"] Args RefreshRate
- #+end_src
-
-*** =BatteryP Dirs Args RefreshRate=
-
- - Aliases to =battery=
-
- - Dirs: list of directories in =/sys/class/power_supply/= where to look
- for the ACPI files of each battery. Example: =["BAT0","BAT1","BAT2"]=.
- Only up to 3 existing directories will be searched.
-
- - Args: default monitor arguments, plus the following specific ones
- (these options, being specific to the monitor, are to be specified
- after a =--= in the argument list):
-
- - =-O=: string for AC "on" status (default: "On")
- - =-i=: string for AC "idle" status (default: "On")
- - =-o=: string for AC "off" status (default: "Off")
- - =-L=: low power (=watts=) threshold (default: 10)
- - =-H=: high power threshold (default: 12)
- - =-l=: color to display power lower than the =-L= threshold
- - =-m=: color to display power lower than the =-H= threshold
- - =-h=: color to display power higher than the =-H= threshold
- - =-p=: color to display positive power (battery charging)
- - =-f=: file in =/sys/class/power_supply= with AC info (default:
- "AC/online")
- - =-A=: a number between 0 and 100, threshold below which the action
- given by =-a=, if any, is performed (default: 5)
- - =-a=: a string with a system command that is run when the percentage
- left in the battery is less or equal than the threshold given by the
- =-A= option. If not present, no action is undertaken.
- - =-P=: to include a percentage symbol in =left=.
- - =--on-icon-pattern=: dynamic string for current battery charge when
- AC is "on" in =leftipat=.
- - =--off-icon-pattern=: dynamic string for current battery charge when
- AC is "off" in =leftipat=.
- - =--idle-icon-pattern=: dynamic string for current battery charge
- when AC is "idle" in =leftipat=.
- - =--lows=: string for AC "off" status and power lower than the =-L=
- threshold (default: "")
- - =--mediums=: string for AC "off" status and power lower than the
- =-H= threshold (default: "")
- - =--highs=: string for AC "off" status and power higher than the =-H=
- threshold (default: "")
-
- - Variables that can be used with the =-t/--template= argument:
- =left=, =leftbar=, =leftvbar=, =leftipat=, =timeleft=, =watts=,
- =acstatus=
-
- - Default template: =Batt: <watts>, <left>% / <timeleft>=
-
- - Example (note that you need "--" to separate regular monitor options
- from Battery's specific ones):
-
- #+begin_src haskell
- Run BatteryP ["BAT0"]
- ["-t", "<acstatus><watts> (<left>%)",
- "-L", "10", "-H", "80", "-p", "3",
- "--", "-O", "<fc=green>On</fc> - ", "-i", "",
- "-L", "-15", "-H", "-5",
- "-l", "red", "-m", "blue", "-h", "green",
- "-a", "notify-send -u critical 'Battery running out!!'",
- "-A", "3"]
- 600
- #+end_src
-
- In the above example, the thresholds before the =--= separator affect
- only the =<left>= and =<leftbar>= fields, while those after the
- separator affect how =<watts>= is displayed. For this monitor, neither
- the generic nor the specific options have any effect on =<timeleft>=.
- We are also telling the monitor to execute the unix command
- =notify-send= when the percentage left in the battery reaches 6%.
-
- It is also possible to specify template variables in the =-O= and =-o=
- switches, as in the following example:
-
- #+begin_src haskell
- Run BatteryP ["BAT0"]
- ["-t", "<acstatus>"
- , "-L", "10", "-H", "80"
- , "-l", "red", "-h", "green"
- , "--", "-O", "Charging", "-o", "Battery: <left>%"
- ] 10
- #+end_src
-
- - The "idle" AC state is selected whenever the AC power entering the
- battery is zero.
-
-*** =BatteryN Dirs Args RefreshRate Alias=
-
- Works like =BatteryP=, but lets you specify an alias for the monitor
- other than "battery". Useful in case you one separate monitors for more
- than one battery.

- - =--fallback-icon-pattern=: dynamic string used by =autoipat= and
- =ipat{i}= when no =--load-icon-patterns= has been provided for
