======== bevelbar ======== Draw an X11 status bar with fancy schmancy 1985-ish beveled borders. It can display plain text or farbfeld images. Installation ------------ The following C libraries are required: - libx11 - libxft - libxrandr The program expects to be run on a POSIX-ish operating system. To build the program and install it to /usr/local: $ make # make install Running ------- The program waits for input on STDIN. Hence, you must combine it with some other program which creates said input: $ other_program | while sleep 0.1; do bevelbar $args; done For a brief description of the input format and $args, please refer to the manpage or example-run.sh. bevelbar does not handle changes to your screen layout. When you add, remove or rearrange monitors, you have to restart the program. This is why I'm using a while-loop in the example above -- you can then simply issue a "killall bevelbar".
