-% xmobar - A Minimalistic Text Based Status Bar
-% Andrea Rossato, Jose A. Ortega Ruiz
-
-About
-=====
-
-xmobar is a minimalistic, text based, status bar. It was originally
-designed and implemented by Andrea Rossato to work with [xmonad],
-but it's actually window-manager-agnostic.
-
-xmobar was inspired by the [Ion3] status bar, and supports similar
-features, like dynamic color management, output templates, and
-extensibility through plugins.
-
-[This is a screen shot] of Andrea's desktop with [xmonad] and xmobar.

-
-Installation
-============
-
-## Using cabal-install
-
-Xmobar is available from [Hackage], and you can install it using
-`cabal-install`:
-
- cabal install xmobar
-
-See below for a list of optional compilation flags that will enable
-some optional plugins. For instance, to install xmobar with all the
-bells and whistles, use:
-
- cabal install xmobar --flags="all_extensions"
-
-## From source
-
-If you don't have `cabal-install` installed, you can get its source
-from [Github]:
-
- git clone git://github.com/jaor/xmobar
-
-To install simply run:
-
- tar xvfz xmobar-0.9
- cd xmobar-0.9
-
-Then run the configure script:
-
- runhaskell Setup.lhs configure
-
- # To enable UTF-8 support run:
- runhaskell Setup.lhs configure --flags="with_utf8"
-
- # To enable both XFT and UTF-8 support run:
- runhaskell Setup.lhs configure --flags="with_xft"
-
-Now you can build the source:
-
- runhaskell Setup.lhs build
- runhaskell Setup.lhs install # possibly to be run as root
-
-
-## Optional features
-
-You can configure xmobar to include some optional plugins and
-features, which are not compiled by default. To that end, you need to
-add one or more flags to either the cabal install command or the
-configure setup step, as shown in the examples above.
-
-Extensions need additional libraries (listed below) that will be
-automatically downloaded and installed if you're using cabal install.
-Otherwise, you'll need to install them yourself.
-
-`with_utf8`
-: UTF-8 support. Requires the [utf8-string] package.
-
-`with_xft`
-: Antialiased fonts. Requires the [X11-xft] package. This option
- automatically enables UTF-8.
-
- To use XFT fonts you need to use the `xft:` prefix in the `font`
- configuration option. For instance:
-
- font = "xft:Times New Roman-10:italic"
-
-`with_mpd`
-: Enables support for the [MPD] daemon. Requires the [libmpd] package.
-
-`with_inotify`
-: Support for inotify in modern linux kernels. This option is needed
- for the MBox and Mail plugins to work.
-
-`with_iwlib`
-: Support for wireless cards. Enables the Wireless plugin. No Haskell
- library is required, but you will need the [iwlib] C library and
- headers in your system (e.g., install `libiw-dev` in Debian-based
- systems).
-
-`all_extensions`
-: Enables all the extensions above.
-
-Running xmobar
-==============
-
-You can now run xmobar with:
-
- xmobar /path/to/config &
-
-or
-
- xmobar &
-
-if you have the default configuration file saved as `~/.xmobarrc`
-
-Configuration
-=============
-
-## Quick Start
-
-See [xmobar.config-sample] for an example.
-
-For the output template:
-
-- `%command%` will execute command and print the output. The output
- may contain markups to change the characters' color.
-
-- `<fc=#FF0000>string</fc>` will print `string` with `#FF0000` color
- (red).
-
-Other configuration options:
-
-`font`
-: Name of the font to be used. Use the `xft:` prefix for XFT fonts.
-
-`bgColor`
-: Background color.
-
-`fgColor`
-: Default font color.
-
-`position`
-: Top, TopW, TopSize, Bottom, BottomW, BottomSize or Static (with x, y,
- width and height).
-
-: TopW and BottomW take 2 arguments: an alignment parameter (L for
- left, C for centered, R for Right) and an integer for the
- percentage width xmobar window will have in respect to the
- screen width.
-
-: TopSize and BottomSize take 3 arguments: an alignment parameter, an
- integer for the percentage width, and an integer for the minimum pixel
- height that the xmobar window will have.
-
-: For example:
-
-: position = BottomW C 75
-
-: to place xmobar at the bottom, centered with the 75% of the screen width.
-
-: Or
-
-: position = Static { xpos = 0 , ypos = 0, width = 1024, height = 15 }
-
-: or
-
-: position = Top
-
-`border`
-: TopB, TopBM, BottomB, BottomBM, FullB, FullBM or NoBorder (default).
-
-: TopB, BottomB, FullB take no arguments, and request drawing a
- border at the top, bottom or around xmobar's window,
- respectively.
-
-: TopBM, BottomBM, FullBM take an integer argument, which is the
- margin, in pixels, between the border of the window and the
- drawn border.
-
-`borderColor`
-: Border color.
-
-`commands`
-: For setting the options of the programs to run (optional).
-
-`sepChar`
-: The character to be used for indicating commands in the output
- template (default '%').
-
-`alignSep`
-: a 2 character string for aligning text in the output template. The
- text before the first character will be align to left, the text in
- between the 2 characters will be centered, and the text after the
- second character will be align to the right.
-
-`template`
-: The output template.
-
-## Running xmobar with i3status
-
-xmobar can be used to display information gathered by [i3status], a
-small program that gathers information and formats it suitable for
-being displayed by the dzen2 status bar, wmii's status bar or xmobar's
-StdinReader.
-
-Since xmobar support has been added only recently you need to get the
-git repository, and build it with the appropriate flags:
-
- git clone git://code.stapelberg.de/i3status
-
-and then build it:
-
- cd i3status
- make EXTRA_CFLAGS="-DXMOBAR
-
-Then you can run it with:
-
- ./i3status -c i3status.conf | xmobar -o -t "%StdinReader%" -c "[Run StdinReader]"
-
-## Command Line Options
-
-xmobar can be either configured with a configuration file or with
-command line options. In the second case, the command line options
-will overwrite the corresponding options set in the configuration
-file.
-
-Example:
-
- xmobar -B white -a right -F blue -t '%LIPB%' -c '[Run Weather "LIPB" [] 36000]'
-
-This is the list of command line options (the output of
-xmobar --help):
-
- Usage: xmobar [OPTION...] [FILE]
- Options:
- -h, -? --help This help
- -V --version Show version information
- -f font name --font=font name The font name
- -B bg color --bgcolor=bg color The background color. Default black
- -F fg color --fgcolor=fg color The foreground color. Default grey
- -o --top Place xmobar at the top of the screen
- -b --bottom Place xmobar at the bottom of the screen
- -a alignsep --alignsep=alignsep Separators for left, center and right text
- alignment. Default: '}{'
- -s char --sepchar=char The character used to separate commands in
- the output template. Default '%'
- -t template --template=template The output template
- -c commands --commands=commands The list of commands to be executed
- -x screen --screen=screen On which X screen number to start
- Mail bug reports and suggestions to <andrea.rossato@unibz.it>
-
-## The Output Template
-
-The output template must contain at least one command. xmobar will
-parse the template and will search for the command to be executed in
-the `commands` configuration option. First an `alias` will be searched
-(plugins such as Weather or Network have default aliases, see below).
-After that, the command name will be tried. If a command is found, the
-arguments specified in the `commands` list will be used.
-
-If no command is found in the `commands` list, xmobar will ask the
-operating system to execute a program with the name found in the
-template. If the execution is not successful an error will be
-reported.
-
-## The `commands` Configuration Option
-
-The `commands` configuration option is a list of commands information
-and arguments to be used by xmobar when parsing the output template.
-Each member of the list consists in a command prefixed by the `Run`
-keyword. Each command has arguments to control the way xmobar is going
-to execute it.
-
-The option consists in a list of commands separated by a comma and
-enclosed by square parenthesis.
-
-Example:
-
- [Run Memory ["-t","Mem: <usedratio>%"] 10, Run Swap [] 10]
-
-to run the Memory monitor plugin with the specified template, and the
-swap monitor plugin, with default options, every second.
-
-The only internal available command is `Com` (see below Executing
-External Commands). All other commands are provided by plugins.
-xmobar comes with some plugins, providing a set of system monitors,
-a standard input reader, an Unix named pipe reader, and a configurable
-date plugin. These plugins install the following internal commands:
-`Weather`, `Network`, `Memory`, `Swap`, `Cpu`, `MultiCpu`, `Battery`,
-`Thermal`, `CpuFreq`, `CoreTemp`, `Date`, `StdinReader`,
-`CommandReader`, and `PipeReader`.
-
-To remove them see below Installing/Removing a Plugin
-
-Other commands can be created as plugins with the Plugin
-infrastructure. See below Writing a Plugin
-
-## System Monitor Plugins

- will look for mails in `/var/mail/inbox` and `/foo/mbox`, and will put
- a space in front of the printed string (when it's not empty); it
- can be used in the template with the alias `mbox`.
-
-## Monitor Plugins Commands Arguments
-
-These are the arguments that can be used for internal commands in the
-`commands` configuration option:
-
- -H number --High=number The high threshold
- -L number --Low=number The low threshold
- -h color number --high=color number Color for the high threshold: es "#FF0000"
- -n color number --normal=color number Color for the normal threshold: es "#00FF00"
- -l color number --low=color number Color for the low threshold: es "#0000FF"
- -p number --ppad=number Pad percentages to given width
- -m number --minwidth=number Minimum field width
- -M number --maxwidth=number Maximum field width
- -w number --width=number Fixed field width
- -c chars --padchars=chars Chars used (cyclically) for padding
- -a ["r" or "l"] --align=["r" or "l"] Pad alignment (right/left)
- -b chars --bback=chars Chars used to draw bar backgrounds (default ":")
- -f chars --bfore=chars Chars used to draw bar foregrounds (default "#")
- -W number --bwidth=number Bar width (default 10)
- -t output template --template=output template Output template of the command.
-
-Commands' arguments must be set as a list. E.g.:
-
- Run Weather "EGPF" ["-t","<station>: <tempC>C"] 36000
-
-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:
-
- Glasgow Airport: 16.0C
-
-## Executing External Commands
-
-In order to execute an external command you can either write the
-command name in the template, in this case it will be executed without
-arguments, or you can configure it in the "commands" configuration
-option list with the Com template command:
-
-`Com ProgramName Args Alias RefreshRate`
-
-- ProgramName: the name of the program
-- Args: the arguments to be passed to the program at execution time
-- Alias: a name to be used in the template. If the alias is en empty
- string the program name can be used in the template.
-
-Es:
-
- Run Com "uname" ["-s","-r"] "" 36000
-
-can be used in the output template as `%uname%`
-
- Run Com "date" ["+\"%a %b %_d %H:%M\""] "mydate" 600
-
-can be used in the output template as `%mydate%`
-
-## Other Plugins
-
-`Date Args Alias RefreshRate`
-
-`StdinReader`
-
-`CommandReader "/path/to/program" Alias`
-
-`PipeReader "/path/to/pipe" Alias`
-
-Plugins
-=======
-
-## Writing a Plugin
-
-Writing a plugin for xmobar should be very simple. You need to create
-a data type with at least one constructor.
-
-Next you must declare this data type an instance of the `Exec` class, by
-defining the 1 needed method (alternatively `start` or `run`) and 2
-optional ones (alias and rate):
-
- start :: e -> (String -> IO ()) -> IO ()
- run :: e -> IO String
- rate :: e -> Int
- alias :: e -> String
-
-`start` must receive a callback to be used to display the `String`
-produced by the plugin. This method can be used for plugins that need
-to perform asynchronous actions. See `Plugins/PipeReader.hs` for an
-example.
-
-`run` can be used for simpler plugins. If you define only `run` the
-plugin will be run every second. To overwrite this default you just
-need to implement `rate`, which must return the number of tenth of
-seconds between every successive runs. See `Plugins/HelloWorld.hs` for
-an example of a plugin that runs just once, and `Plugins/Date.hs` for
-one that implements `rate`.
-
-Notice that Date could be implemented as:
-
- instance Exec Date where
- alias (Date _ a _) = a
- start (Date f _ r) = date f r
-
- date :: String -> Int -> (String -> IO ()) -> IO ()
- date format r callback = do go
- where go = do
- t <- toCalendarTime =<< getClockTime
- callback $ formatCalendarTime defaultTimeLocale format t
- tenthSeconds r >> go
-
-This implementation is equivalent to the one you can read in
-`Plugins/Date.hs`.
-
-`alias` is the name to be used in the output template. Default alias
-will be the data type constructor.
-
-Implementing a plugin requires importing the plugin API (the `Exec`
-class definition), that is exported by `Plugins.hs`. So you just need
-to import it in your module with:
-
- import Plugins
-
-After that your type constructor can be used as an argument for the
-Runnable type constructor `Run` in the `commands` list of the
-configuration options.
-
-This requires importing your plugin into `Config.hs` and adding your
-type to the type list in the type signature of `Config.runnableTypes`.
-
-For a very basic example see `Plugins/HelloWorld.hs` or the other
-plugins that are distributed with xmobar.
-
-## Installing/Removing a Plugin
-
-Installing a plugin should require 3 steps. Here we are going to
-install the HelloWorld plugin that comes with xmobar:
-
-1. import the plugin module in `Config.hs`, by adding:
-
- import Plugins.HelloWorld
-
-2. add the plugin data type to the list of data types in the type
- signature of `runnableTypes` in `Config.hs`. For instance, for the
- HelloWorld plugin, change `runnableTypes` into:
-
- runnableTypes :: Command :*: Monitors :*: HelloWorld :*: ()
- runnableTypes = undefined
-
-3. Rebuild and reinstall xmobar. Now test it with:
-
- xmobar Plugins/helloworld.config
-
-As you may see in the example configuration file, the plugin can be
-used by adding, in the `commands` list:
-
- Run HelloWorld
-
-and, in the output template, the alias of the plugin:
-
- %helloWorld%
-
-That's it.
-
-To remove a plugin, just remove its type from the type signature of
-runnableTypes and remove the imported modules.
-
-To remove the system monitor plugin:
-
-1. remove, from `Config.hs`, the line
-
- import Plugins.Monitors
-
