underline / overline for entire bar with alignment.

Hello, i just wonder if it's possible to add consistent underline or overline across entire bar (for aesthetic).
because i do want to fill my center section with it which is mostly blank and filled with active window title. it feels weird the underline and overline shrink and grows every time i hover through windows.

it would be nice if my top bar underline could expand and fill the remaining space rather than leaving it blank

P.S. Thank you for this awesome bar.

You could achieve this by tweaking the script that gives you the window title string in a way that it always puts out a string of a defined minimum width, padding the actual string with spaces on the left and right accordingly.

At least, you would prevent the shrinking and growing of the underline; not sure you can achieve a consistent line across the entire bar.

Wish my old friend had uploaded his fork years ago, had full underline + highlight underline as well as an option to wrap the underline all the way around the bar for a border effect:

All I got left of it is the config.def.h in my dotfiles 😞

Might dig into my old HDD backups and see if I have it, I should.
