Video introduction [on odysee](https://odysee.com/@goo:c/umberbar:5) or [on youtube](https://youtu.be/BmK9mQ1K72I).

## rust implementation

This project was previously written in crystal (see crystal directory), it is being ported to rust.
All versions >= 0.7 are rust based.

## design goals and features

Mostly like its parent project [umberwm](https://github.com/yazgoo/umberwm):

- [x] kiss: where possible build upon existing crates, use alacritty for rendering
- [x] configuration as code (like umberwm)
- [x] support theming (as code), user defined palette
- [x] single file (~500 LoC) -- may be subject to change
- [ ] loads of themes

## requirements

You need alacritty installed and in your path (this project will run alacritty)

You also need nerd fonts for logos and most themes to work.

## using it

umberbar is used/configured in rust, here is how to use it:

1. install rust and cargo https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/getting-started/installation.html
2. clone template project (__:warning: it is a different repository__): `git clone https://github.com/yazgoo/myumberbar`
3. edit src/main.rs (see comments for more details)
4. run `cargo build`, binary is available in target/debug/myumerbar
