• Is there a way I can tell which exit node I am using from CLI in Linux?

  I'd like to just be able to write a short shell script to check if an exit node is in use, and then pipe that output into polybar which I use anyway. The problem is that I can't find an option in the tailscale Linux CLI client that will show me whether I'm using an exit node or not. Is there a way to do this? Source: 10 months ago

• Are there any tools to analyse/modify colours directly from a bash script?

  I am on Arch Linux and I am using pywal to generate a colour palette from my wallpaper, which I then use throughout my system. In particular, I have a bash script which grabs these colours and uses them for polybar. The problem is that sometimes these colours do not have enough contrast, and the bar is hard to read. Is there any tool that would allow me to check the readability of my colours, and modify them... Source: over 1 year ago

  Taking polybar as an example, this is how I've been installing via checkinstall: Wget https://github.com/polybar/polybar/releases/download/3.6.3/polybar-3.6.3.tar.gz Aunpack polybar-3.6.3.tar.gz Cd polybar-3.6.3 ./build.sh --auto --all-features --no-install Cd build/ Sudo checkinstall \ -D --default --fstrans=no \ --pkgname=polybar --pkgversion=0.0.1 \ --pakdir=/tmp.

• Building a Tiling Window Manager with Rust and Penrose

  We could use something like polybar to build a powerful and sophisticated top-bar for our system. However, for this example we are going to use the built-in dwm_bar which mimics the bar that can be found in dwm. What's happening here is pretty straight-forward. First we populate the styling struct, and then we plug these values into the dwm_bar. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• I was finally allowed to install linux on the surface go 2 I got from school after I booted from a flash drive for half a year during class.

  Hey, it's polybar. The text in the top left is just the name of the active window and in this case the terminal in the home directory. However, you can configure polybar very freely and also make it show the "username@hostname". The Xfce4 panel works surprisingly well on i3 too. Source: over 2 years ago

  Aside from that, I would say to start with downloading polybar either from here or by running. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Custom Bar to Display Glanceable Information

  For me it is really important to have a highly custom menu bar on all of the systems I work with. I want the bar to display exactly the information that I want at a glance and depending on the work I am doing. When I am on my virtual desktop for coding, for example, I want to see how my system is impacted by the code I write, if there are new issues on git, and even system utilization can be a relevant metric for... - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago

• Embrace fall with Dracula Theme

  About the workspace bar (top left): I got inspired from polybar how it often displays icons as workspace indicators and I wanted to try make something similar for Gnome. I managed to customize the gnome-extension Workspace Bar with custom CSS and dconf-editor, then auto assigning applications to specific workspaces with Auto Move Windows. I'm very happy with the result :). Source: almost 3 years ago

• POP OS has been a real treat to play with and to learn! Been on it for about two months now and really thinking about making the full switch from windows.

  Sure can! Will go into more detail if you'd like me to when I get home but, for the top bar I am using polybar! The theme I am using for polybar is from here! Here is the link to polybar too. Source: about 3 years ago

  This window manager is particularly DIY and setup-intensive, be ready to spend some time searching stuff online and copying snippets into the files (most of us will want a bar like polybar too, and something like dunst to show messages, maybe something to type commands like rofi etc.—you'll have to select and configure all your tools, though you can do that exactly your way). It is useful to setup a keyboard... Source: about 3 years ago

• What is the most lightweight dock for linux?

  I don't know how well inclined you are with customizing Linux but there's a bar/ dock called "Polybar". The RAM usage varies but has never been over 3-5 MB for me (I can check that later). It starts out as a plain and simple bar but it's heavily customizable (see r/unixporn for inspiration). Here's the GitHub link to Polybar: Https://github.com/polybar/polybar. Source: about 3 years ago
