shadobar

My complete and beautiful polybar. Took a while but well worth the beauty and the functionality!
All rofi files that are integrated into the bar are in the rofi/ directory, that goes for scripts as well.

Why Shadobar

Every single visible module is fully interactive.
- Some parts scroll, some parts just clicking, either way: fully interactive. Certain i3 things are missing because I just do not know anything i3, but the i3 config should fix alot)
It's quite pretty (atleast in my opinion!)
- very clean and compact look, the underlines and overlines and the other features I added make it so much more beautiful.
Quite simple to understand
- Simple to change up and make perfect for yourself!
- very single color is customizable right at the top of your config now
Works with any launcher!
- I personally like rofi the best because of how pretty it can be, but you can use anything you like (only rofi is included though)!

TODO's

~~I3wm Support/Fork (anyone willing to help, much appreciated)~~
~~Easier color change features for nicer theming~~
~~Make hotswapping available~~

Installation

first cd into ~/.config then clone the repo
cd ~/.config; git clone https://github.com/Shadorain/shadobar.git
Rename the whole directory to polybar
mv ~/.config/shadobar ~/.config/polybar
cd into polybar directory
cd ~/.config/polybar/
Copy/move the entire rofi directory into ~/.config
cp ~/.config/polybar/rofi ~/.config/rofi
(Optional) finally set ~/.config/polybar/launch.sh & where you would like shadobar to auto start from. echo "polybar shadobar &" >> ~/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc (in my case: bspwmrc)

I3 users

Follow each of those steps above, the only change you will need is to swap the i3 config with the bspwm one. mv ~/.config/polybar/config-i3 ~/.config/polybar/config

---And there you go! You have succesfully installed Shadobar!----
