Taffybar is somewhat similar to xmobar, but it opts to use -- more heavy weight GUI in the form of gtk+ rather than the mostly textual -- approach favored by the latter. This allows it to provide features like an -- SNI system tray, and a workspace widget with window icons. -- -- * Config File -- | -- The interface that taffybar provides to the end user is roughly as follows: -- you give Taffybar a list of ([Taffy]IO actions that build) gtk+ widgets and -- it renders them in a horizontal bar for you (taking care of ugly details -- like reserving strut space so that window managers don't put windows over -- it). -- -- | The config file in which you specify the gtk+ widgets to render is just a -- Haskell source file which is used to produce a custom executable with the -- desired set of widgets. This approach requires that taffybar be installed -- as a haskell library (not merely as an executable), and that the ghc -- compiler be available for recompiling the configuration. The upshot of this -- approach is that taffybar's behavior and widget set are not limited to the -- set of widgets provided by the library, because custom code and widgets can -- be provided to taffybar for instantiation and execution. -- -- The following code snippet is a simple example of what a taffybar -- configuration might look like (also see @src/System/Taffybar/Example.hs@): -- -- > {-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-} -- > import System.Taffybar -- > import System.Taffybar.Information.CPU -- > import System.Taffybar.SimpleConfig -- > import System.Taffybar.Widget -- > import System.Taffybar.Widget.Generic.Graph -- > import System.Taffybar.Widget.Generic.PollingGraph -- > -- > cpuCallback = do -- > (_, systemLoad, totalLoad) <- cpuLoad -- > return [ totalLoad, systemLoad ] -- > -- > main = do -- > let cpuCfg = defaultGraphConfig { graphDataColors = [ (0, 1, 0, 1), (1, 0, 1, 0.5)] -- > , graphLabel = Just "cpu" -- > } -- > clock = textClockNew defaultClockConfig -- > cpu = pollingGraphNew cpuCfg 0.5 cpuCallback -- > workspaces = workspacesNew defaultWorkspacesConfig -- > simpleConfig = defaultSimpleTaffyConfig -- > { startWidgets = [ workspaces ] -- > , endWidgets = [ sniTrayNew, clock, cpu ] -- > } -- > startTaffybar $ simpleTaffybar simpleConfig -- -- This configuration creates a bar with four widgets. On the left is a widget -- that shows information about the workspace configuration. The rightmost -- widget is the system tray, with a clock and then a CPU graph. -- -- The CPU widget plots two graphs on the same widget: total CPU use in green -- and then system CPU use in a kind of semi-transparent purple on top of the -- green. -- -- It is important to note that the widget lists are *not* [Widget]. They are -- actually [TaffyIO Widget] since the bar needs to construct them after -- performing some GTK initialization. -- -- * Taffybar and DBus -- -- | Taffybar has a strict dependency on dbus, so you must ensure that it is -- started before starting taffybar. -- -- * If you start your window manager using a graphical login manager like gdm -- or kdm, DBus should be started rautomatically for you. -- -- * If you start xmonad with a different graphical login manager that does -- not start DBus for you automatically, put the line @eval \`dbus-launch -- --auto-syntax\`@ into your ~\/.xsession *before* xmonad and taffybar are -- started. This command sets some environment variables that the two must -- agree on. -- -- * If you start xmonad via @startx@ or a similar command, add the -- above command to ~\/.xinitrc -- * Colors -- -- | While taffybar is based on GTK+, it ignores your GTK+ theme. The default -- theme that it uses lives at -- https://github.com/taffybar/taffybar/blob/master/taffybar.css You can alter -- this theme by editing @~\/.config\/taffybar\/taffybar.css@ to your liking. -- For an idea of the customizations you can make, see -- <https://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/Tutorials/GtkThemes>. dyreTaffybar , dyreTaffybarMain , getTaffyFile , startTaffybar , taffybarDyreParams ) where import qualified Config.Dyre as Dyre import qualified Config.Dyre.Params as Dyre import Control.Monad import qualified Data.GI.Gtk.Threading as GIThreading import qualified Data.Text as T import qualified GI.Gdk as Gdk import qualified GI.Gtk as Gtk import Graphics.X11.Xlib.Misc import System.Directory import System.Environment.XDG.BaseDir ( getUserConfigFile ) import System.Exit ( exitFailure ) import System.FilePath ( (</>) ) import qualified System.IO as IO import System.Log.Logger import System.Taffybar.Context import System.Taffybar.Hooks import Paths_taffybar ( getDataDir ) -- | The parameters that are passed to Dyre when taffybar is invoked with -- 'dyreTaffybar'. taffybarDyreParams :: Dyre.Params TaffybarConfig taffybarDyreParams = Dyre.defaultParams { Dyre.projectName = "taffybar" , Dyre.realMain = dyreTaffybarMain , Dyre.showError = showError , Dyre.ghcOpts = ["-threaded", "-rtsopts"] , Dyre.rtsOptsHandling = Dyre.RTSAppend ["-I0", "-V0"] } -- | Use Dyre to configure and start taffybar.
