Malison -- Stability : unstable -- Portability : unportable ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- module System.Taffybar ( -- * Detail -- -- | This is a system status bar meant for use with window managers like -- XMonad. It is similar to xmobar, but with more visual flare and a different -- widget set. Contributed widgets are more than welcome. The bar is drawn -- using gtk and cairo. It is actually the simplest possible thing that could -- plausibly work: you give Taffybar a list of GTK widgets and it will render -- them in a horizontal bar for you (taking care of ugly details like -- reserving strut space so that window managers don't put windows over it). -- -- This is the real main module. The default bar should be customized to taste -- in the config file (~/.config/taffybar/taffybar.hs). Typically, this means -- adding widgets to the default config. A default configuration file is -- included in the distribution, but the essentials are covered here. -- * Config File -- -- | The config file is just a Haskell source file that is compiled at startup -- (if it has changed) to produce a custom executable with the desired set of -- widgets. You will want to import this module along with the modules of any -- widgets you want to add to the bar. Note, you can define any widgets that -- you want in your config file or other libraries. Taffybar only cares that -- you give it some GTK widgets to display. -- -- Below is a fairly typical example: -- -- > import System.Taffybar -- > import System.Taffybar.SimpleConfig -- > import System.Taffybar.Widget -- > import System.Taffybar.Information.CPU -- > -- > cpuCallback = do -- > (_, systemLoad, totalLoad) <- cpuLoad -- > return [ totalLoad, systemLoad ] -- > -- > main = do -- > let cpuCfg = defaultGraphConfig { graphDataColors = [ (0, 1, 0, 1), (1, 0, 1, 0.5)] -- > , graphLabel = Just "cpu" -- > } -- > clock = textClockNew Nothing "%a %b %_d %H:%M" 1 -- > cpu = pollingGraphNew cpuCfg 0.5 cpuCallback -- > workspaces = workspacesNew defaultWorkspacesConfig -- > simpleConfig = defaultSimpleTaffyConfig -- > { startWidgets = [ workspaces ] -- > , endWidgets = [ sniTrayNew, clock, cpu ] -- > } -- > simpleTaffybar simpleConfig -- -- This configuration creates a bar with four widgets. On the left is a widget -- that shows information about the workspace configuration. The rightmost -- widget is the system tray, with a clock and then a CPU graph. The clock is -- formatted using standard strftime-style format strings (see the clock -- module). Note that the clock is colored using Pango markup (again, see the -- clock module). -- -- The CPU widget plots two graphs on the same widget: total CPU use in green -- and then system CPU use in a kind of semi-transparent purple on top of the -- green. -- -- It is important to note that the widget lists are *not* [Widget]. They are -- actually [TaffyIO Widget] since the bar needs to construct them after performing -- some GTK initialization. -- -- ** A note about taffybar's dependency on DBus: -- | -- * If you start your window manager using a graphical login manager like gdm -- or kdm, DBus should be started automatically for you. -- -- * If you start xmonad with a different graphical login manager that does -- not start DBus for you automatically, put the line @eval \`dbus-launch -- --auto-syntax\`@ into your ~\/.xsession *before* xmonad and taffybar are -- started. This command sets some environment variables that the two must -- agree on. -- -- * If you start xmonad via @startx@ or a similar command, add the -- above command to ~\/.xinitrc -- * Colors -- -- | While taffybar is based on GTK+, it ignores your GTK+ theme. The default -- theme that it uses lives at -- https://github.com/taffybar/taffybar/blob/master/taffybar.css You can alter -- this theme by editing @~\/.config\/taffybar\/taffybar.css@ to your liking. -- For an idea of the customizations you can make, see -- . taffybarDyreParams , dyreTaffybar , startTaffybar , dyreTaffybarMain ) where import qualified Config.Dyre as Dyre import qualified Config.Dyre.Params as Dyre import Control.Monad import qualified Data.GI.Gtk.Threading as GIThreading import qualified Graphics.UI.Gtk as Gtk import Graphics.UI.Gtk.General.CssProvider import qualified Graphics.UI.Gtk.General.StyleContext as Gtk import Graphics.X11.Xlib.Misc import System.Directory import System.Environment.XDG.BaseDir ( getUserConfigFile ) import System.Exit ( exitFailure ) import System.FilePath ( () ) import qualified System.IO as IO import System.Taffybar.Context import Paths_taffybar ( getDataDir ) -- | The parameters that are passed to Dyre when taffybar is invoked with -- 'dyreTaffybar'. taffybarDyreParams :: Dyre.Params TaffybarConfig taffybarDyreParams = Dyre.defaultParams { Dyre.projectName = "taffybar" , Dyre.realMain = dyreTaffybarMain , Dyre.showError = showError , Dyre.ghcOpts = ["-threaded", "-rtsopts"] , Dyre.rtsOptsHandling = Dyre.RTSAppend ["-I0", "-V0"] } -- | Use Dyre to configure and start taffybar.
