| 2022-04-13 00:06:54 +0000 | <abastro[m]> | geekosaur: hmm I guess that might be used for building my own task bar |
| 2022-04-13 00:07:01 +0000 | <abastro[m]> | Tho it is hard to make a task bar, right? |
| 2022-04-13 00:08:12 +0000 | <abastro[m]> | It seems quite a task to learn reflex as well, hmm |
| 2022-04-13 00:08:14 +0000 | <geekosaur> | not really. the things that distinguish a task bar from another window are (1) usually override_redirect (2) struts |
| 2022-04-13 00:08:28 +0000 | <geekosaur> | yes, frp is a very different way to approach GUI programming |
| 2022-04-13 00:08:39 +0000 | <geekosaur> | but it's designed with functional programming in mind |
| 2022-04-13 00:10:26 +0000 | <abastro[m]> | I recall you saying that making task bar is quite bothersome |
| 2022-04-13 00:11:42 +0000 | <geekosaur> | I don't think I said that. task bars are mostly simple windows. the simplest task bar is dzen, which is just a blank canvas with a strut |
| 2022-04-13 00:11:51 +0000 | <geekosaur> | dzen2 I should say |
| 2022-04-13 00:12:45 +0000 | <geekosaur> | hm, unless you literally mean task bar like the gnome, mate, etc. task bar widgets, but that's enumerating windows with XQueryTree |
| 2022-04-13 00:13:20 +0000 | <geekosaur> | indicator applets / tray applets are a bit more work but there are libraries to help with that |
| 2022-04-13 00:13:38 +0000 | <geekosaur> | hm, and libraries to help with task bar widgets (I'm thinking libwnck) |
| 2022-04-13 00:14:17 +0000 | <abastro[m]> | I see, I wonder why there are not so many taskbars then. |
| 2022-04-13 00:14:36 +0000 | <geekosaur> | most people just stick to xmobar |
| 2022-04-13 00:14:56 +0000 | <geekosaur> | I mean, there are multiple bars available that work with xmonad, but mostpeople just don't care |
| 2022-04-13 00:17:27 +0000 | <geekosaur> | I like my mate-panel, but then that's why I run xmonad under mate :) |
| 2022-04-13 00:33:41 +0000 | <abastro[m]> | mate-panel? |
| 2022-04-13 00:34:17 +0000 | <abastro[m]> | Oh it is shipped with another DE |
| 2022-04-13 00:38:08 +0000 | abhixec | (~abhixec@c-67-169-139-16.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) |
| 2022-04-13 00:38:38 +0000 | <geekosaur> | yes |
| 2022-04-13 00:38:53 +0000 | <geekosaur> | I think the only one like that that can still be used standalone is lxpanel |
| 2022-04-13 00:39:14 +0000 | <geekosaur> | used to be xfce4-panel could, but they changed that a few years ago |
| 2022-04-13 00:55:58 +0000 | <abastro[m]> | How does mate-panel look? |
| 2022-04-13 01:02:01 +0000 | <geekosaur> | https://imgur.com/FYagmZQ.png |
| 2022-04-13 01:03:08 +0000 | <geekosaur> | I have a panel with a taskbar and swap monitor at the top, and another with menu button, xmonad-log-applet, and systray on the bottom |
| 2022-04-13 01:03:34 +0000 | <geekosaur> | not very different from any other DE's panel |
| 2022-04-13 01:39:09 +0000 | <abastro[m]> | <del>Holy tabs</del> |
| 2022-04-13 01:39:38 +0000 | <abastro[m]> | It looks similar to gnome panel, yeah |
| 2022-04-13 01:41:06 +0000 | <geekosaur> | actually it is gnome-panel: the mate devteam took over gnome 2 support and development after gnome 3 came out |
| 2022-04-13 01:41:16 +0000 | <geekosaur> | so mate is basically gnome 2 |
| 2022-04-13 01:41:39 +0000 | <abastro[m]> | Ohh, I see |
| 2022-04-13 01:41:48 +0000 | <abastro[m]> | It looks good! Though not the look I am looking for |

| 2022-04-13 09:10:02 +0000 | <abastro[m]> | But it seems clunky to set that up |
| 2022-04-13 09:22:42 +0000 | <yusz-01[m]> | <abastro[m]> "That is, changing the color of..." <- can do that with XMobar easily |
| 2022-04-13 09:22:51 +0000 | <yusz-01[m]> | no need to write Haskell |
| 2022-04-13 09:23:53 +0000 | <abastro[m]> | Well, for CPU I need its color to dynamically change, and for Memory I need a bar visible beneath the overlay |
