[Sawfish] Introducing sawfish.wm.prg.{trayer,xmobar}

[Christopher Roy Bratusek <nano@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

 

two new modules arrived in Sawfish:

 

sawfish.wm.prg.trayer

sawfish.wm.prg.xmobar

 

Those two can handle a trayer/xmobar instance during a sawfish session.

Initialization is pretty simple, in sawfishrc add:

 

(require 'sawfish.wm.prg.trayer)

(require 'sawfish.wm.prg.xmobar)

(add-hook 'after-initialization-hook start-trayer t)

(add-hook 'after-initialization-hook start-xmobar t)

 

start-xmobar support #:config key that allows you to set the absoulate file-path to xmobar configuration-file, if you don't use $HOME/.xmobarrc.

 

start-trayer supports any command-line option of trayer as key. for example: #:widthtype #:height or #:setdocktype. Adjust to your liking. NOTE: boolean values must be passed as "true" or "false", eg: #:transparent "false", not #:transparent nil.

 

There's also

(stop-trayer) (stop-xmobar).

 

Those two also check whether trayer or xmobar actually exist in $PATH and through a message at you, if they don't. (requires librep 0.92.3 from GIT for new 'program-exists-p' function).

 

comments, suggestions (eg: idea for another sawfish.wm.prg*), etc. welcome.

 

Regards,

Chris

 

*maybe something like xsettingsd might be useful? though it doesn't seem to be updated for GTK3 settings (yet), though it's fully fine for GTK2.
