Readme for tianbar-0.3.4.0
[back to package description]Tianbar
Tianbar is a status bar for XMonad and possibly similar window managers. It is using WebKit as its rendering engine, meaning that the entire look and feel is customizable using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
Usage
Tianbar will show index.html from its XDG configuration directory
(usually $HOME/.config/taffybar). It it up to you to create that, add styles,
widgets and other behavior.
Widgets
A small collection of widgets written in JavaScript is bundled with Tianbar,
see scripts directory. To include them on your page, use tianbar: URL
scheme, e.g. tianbar:scripts/time.js.
Currently widgets require jQuery and RequireJS, and neither of those is distributed with Tianbar -- you will have to obtain them manually.
XMonad integration
XMonad status widget works by listening on DBus for messages sent by the
provided logHook, see System.Tianbar.XMonadLog documentation for details.
Quirks
- AJAX requests from Tianbar are not subject to the same origin policy. This
makes it easier to interact with various Web services. You can also make
requests to the local files, for example, to extract CPU activity statistics
from
/proc/stat. - HTML5 geolocation API does not work. A shim, which uses freegeoip.net, is provided instead.
- Interaction with the displayed Web page is limited. For example, text fields are not active if there are other windows on the screen.
Acknowledgements
The project is essentially a fork of Taffybar, stripped down of Haskell configuration and widgets and not yet having achieved functional parity with it.
