Wbar is a quick launch bar. It's fast, light and cool eye-candy.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It's hacked in c++ trying to keep code as readable as possible
|
||
|
|
without sacrificing speed. It works directly on top of X to avoid
|
||
|
|
going through a lot of layers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Initially it was developed for Fluxbox, then tested on WindowMaker,
|
||
|
|
Xfce, and Gnome 2 and it works very well with other window managers,
|
||
|
|
too.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since version 1.0 Wbar can run on top of desktops such as xfdesktop
|
||
|
|
or Nautilus with the -above-desk switch.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CONFIGURATION:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Wbar-config is the recommended tool to customize Wbar. It is completely
|
||
|
|
optional but very easy to use. You can tweak the icon size and distance,
|
||
|
|
adjust Wbar's position on the screen and also change effects like
|
||
|
|
transparency, color filter and jump factor.
|
||
|
|
See also wbar(1) and wbar-config(1).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5.2. make-conf.sh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you don't want to install a GUI application to configure Wbar, the
|
||
|
|
next best solution to create an initial wbar.cfg would be the
|
||
|
|
make-conf.sh script.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The script searches for installed desktop files in
|
||
|
|
/usr/share/applications and creates an initial config in /tmp with the
|
||
|
|
corresponding icons in your pixmaps and hicolor directories in
|
||
|
|
/usr/share. Just copy the config file to ~/.wbar and you're set.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5.3. Manual method
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Wbar will look for your configuration in $HOME/.wbar first or will use
|
||
|
|
the global configuration file in /etc/wbar.d/wbar.cfg.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.wbar format:
|
||
|
|
---------------
|
||
|
|
Commented lines start whith #.
|
||
|
|
Blank lines are ignored.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Each icon has the following format:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
i: <icon-file-path>
|
||
|
|
c: <command to execute on click>
|
||
|
|
t: <text to display on mouse over>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The order of appearance doesn't matter but all 3 of these lines must
|
||
|
|
appear. If you aren't gonna display text nor have a command associated
|
||
|
|
for a certain icon you should do the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
i: <icon-file-path>
|
||
|
|
c:
|
||
|
|
t:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first icon definition has a special meaning:
|
||
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
i: <path-to-the-bar-background-image>
|
||
|
|
c: wbar --bpress --above-desk --vbar --pos right --isize 64 --idist 5
|
||
|
|
--nanim 4 --falfa 65
|
||
|
|
t: <path-to-font-to-display-text-with/size>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
IF A FONT ISN'T SUPPLIED THEN NO TEXT RENDERING IS DONE.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Notes:
|
||
|
|
------
|
||
|
|
If you're getting window decorations (you shouldn't) when you start
|
||
|
|
your window manager because you're using the -above-desk switch,
|
||
|
|
try to give the WM some time to start up before wbar does.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example (in your startup script): (sleep 5s && wbar) &
|
||
|
|
Note that the parenthesis surrounding the command are important.
