crowbar
Status bar made for BSPWM, focused on ease of use, stability and speed.
### Motivation
Generic status bars provide superior customization for the price of complexity, but I need a bar that just works out-of-the-box.
### Features
* Listens to BSPWM events directly via Unix socket
* Shows focused desktop window count, no more getting lost in monocle mode
* Urgent desktop support
* All widgets are written in Rust - forget slow scripts
* First class multi-monitor support
### Setup
Add this to your `bspwmrc`:
```
# Regular BSPWM monitor setup, crowbar will use these as dekstop names
bspc monitor {your-monitor-name} -d web code III IV V VI
# Reset padding (optional, but recommended)
bspc config top_padding 0
bspc config bottom_padding 0
# Start crowbar
crowbar &
```
### Is this for me?
#### It might be for you if you:
- skipped on BSPWM, because it has no default status bar
- are drowning in semi-working configuration
- need a working status bar, while searching for a nice [eww](https://github.com/elkowar/eww) config in [/r/unixporn](https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/)
- always wanted something akin to [i3status](https://i3wm.org/docs/i3status.html) but for BSPWM
#### It's probably not for you if you:
- need a systray
- are a big fan of **complex** customization
### Showcase
### TODO
- Prepare arch release
