System.Taffybar.XMonadLog

Deprecated: Use TaffyPager instead. This module will be removed.

This widget listens on DBus for Log events from XMonad and displays the formatted status string. To log to this widget using the excellent dbus-core library, use code like the following:

import DBus.Client.Simple
main = do
  session <- connectSession
  emit session "/org/xmonad/Log" "org.xmonad.Log" "Update" [toVariant "msg"]

There is a more complete example of xmonad integration in the top-level module.

dbusLogWithPP :: Client -> PP -> X ()

This is a DBus-based logger that can be used from XMonad to log to this widget. This version lets you specify the format for the log using a pretty printer (e.g., taffybarPP).
