@sunbect i3 doesn't really support non-full-width bars. The workaround is setting
override-redirect = true in the bar section, but that comes with its own issues
Is it possible to make
xwindow module to "stretch" as long as it needs without moving other modules to the right or left?
If I set a hard max limit, some titles are truncated but usually there is enough space for xwindow to fill.
I want it to only truncate when there is no enough space without resorting to moving other modules to right

@patrick96: Thanks. Do you know what "utility" polybar's network module use for bandwidth Tx/Rx? I want to write a script for it
@Filip62_gitlab We don't care about the branch name, it won't appear anywhere after we merge. The log message is also mostly up to you, but have a look at previous commits for inspiration and the standard ones: First line not longer than 50 characters, second line empty, after that not more than 72 characters per line. And of course it has to be informative ;)
I am just getting familiar with polybar and am having an issue where my $PATH is not being properly loaded somewhere upon startup. my default shell is /usr/bin/zsh and I tried changing the launch script to
which sh but to no avail. In the polybar config I still have to pass the full path to my polybar scripts but a normal shell is picking up all my scripts not sure it is related but it is slightly similar to #323
leibniz:matrix.org: FYI: https://github.com/polybar/polybar-scripts/tree/master/polybar-scripts/network-traffic
@patrick96 thanks for answering. I got a launch script and am running it inside my i3 config using exec_always, essentially the same as in the docs. I update the path in my .zshrc to include the scripts. If I add echo $PATH in the launch script the path to the scripts is there included
@bjohnnyd
polybar -r example &
if I echo PATH there the path to the scripts is included
I also tried using
SHELL=$(which sh) polybar -r example &
one sec
@patrick96
sorry just got started with it
so is the recommended way to start in .xinitrc?
I think, worth a try.
Or in launch.sh for that matter should also work
Somewhere before polybar spawns.
Maybe there is a specific zsh file that gets sourced when the shell is not interactive but that you need to figure out on your own @bjohnnyd
@Filip62_gitlab I don't think that's right
.zshrc is only sourced in interactive shells: http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Intro/intro_3.html
I think the proper place to put your path exports are in
.zprofile or .profile
Is it possible to execute custom command on-click on default modules and have them change their text?
Like date-alt="echo hi"...or clicking on network module shows public IP instead of local one
Is it possible to toggle the visibility of network module bandwith by clicking on it?
@leibniz:matrix.org No and no. At least not for built-in modules.
@patrick96: can the command in IPC module be continuous? Like a self-updating string showing bandwidth Tx/Rx
