SYNOPSISlemonbar [-h | -g widthxheight+x+y | -b | -d | -f font | -p | -u pixel
| -B color | -F color]
DESCRIPTIONlemonbar (formerly known as bar) is a lightweight bar entirely based on
XCB. Provides full UTF-8 support, basic formatting, RandR and Xinerama
support and EWMH compliance without wasting your precious memory.
OPTIONS-h Display the help and exit.
-g widthxheight+x+y
Set the window geometry. If a parameter is omitted it's filled with
the default value. If the y parameter is specified along with the
-b switch then the position is relative to the bottom of the
screen.
-b Dock the bar at the bottom of the screen.
-d Force docking without asking the window manager. This is needed if
the window manager isn't EWMH compliant.
-f font
Comma separated list of fonts, lemonbar supports a maximum of five
fonts (the limit can be tweaked by changing the MAX_FONT_COUNT
parameter in the source).
-p Make the bar permanent, don't exit after the standard input is
closed.
-u pixel
Sets the underline width in pixels. The default is 1.
-B color
Set the background color of the bar. color might be either in hex
format (#aarrggbb) or in the symbolic name format (eg. white,
indianred, darkgray). If no compositor such as compton or xcompmgr
is running the alpha channel is silently ignored.
-F color
Set the foreground color of the bar. Accepts the same color formats
as -B.
FORMATTINGlemonbar provides a screenrc-inspired formatting syntax to allow full
customization at runtime. Every formatting block is opened with %{ and
closed by } and accepts the following commands, the parser tries it's
best to handle malformed input.
R Swap the current background and foreground colors.
l Aligns the following text to the left side of the screen.
c Aligns the following text to the center of the screen.
r Aligns the following text to the right side of the screen.
Bcolor
Set the text background color. The parameter color can be - or a
color in one of the formats mentioned before. The special value -
resets the color to the default one.
Fcolor
Set the text foreground color. The parameter color can be - or a
color in one of the formats mentioned before. The special value -
resets the color to the default one.
Tindex
Set the font used to draw the following text. The parameter index
is a 1-based index of the font list supplied to bar. Any other
value (for example -) resets the bar to normal behaviour (matching
the first font that can be used for that character). If the
selected font can't be used to draw a character, lemonbar will fall
back to normal behaviour for that character.
Ucolor
Set the text underline color. The parameter color can be - or a
color in one of the formats mentioned before. The special value -
resets the color to the default one.
Abutton:command:
Create a clickable area starting from the current position, when
the area is clicked command is executed. The area is closed when a
A token, not followed by : is encountered.
Eg. %{A:reboot:} Click here to reboot %{A}
The button field is optional, it defaults to the left button, and
it's a number ranging from 1 to 5 which maps to the left, middle,
right, scroll up and scroll down movements. Your mileage may vary.
Nested clickable areas can trigger different commands.
Eg. %{A:reboot:}%{A3:halt:} Left click to reboot, right click to
shutdown %{A}%{A}
Sdir
Change the monitor the bar is rendered to. dir can be either
+/- Next/previous monitor.
f/l First/last monitor.
0-9 Nth monitor.
Attribute modifiers
+attribute
Set the attribute attribute for the following text.
-attribute
Unset the attribute attribute for the following text.
!attribute
Toggle the attribute attribute for the following text.
Where attribute is one of the following
o Draw a line over the text.
u Draw a line under the text.
OUTPUT
Clicking on an area makes lemonbar output the command to stdout,
followed by a newline, allowing the user to pipe it into a script,
execute it or simply ignore it. Simple and powerful, that's it.
