Dzen2 can read it's configuration from .Xresources. It would be good to make use of it, it makes the config cleaner and improve understanding of what dzen is.

That sounds like a good idea - I'll update the examples stuff with the next release.

Hey @HarveyHunt, are you still developing? I'm setting up howm as of now and I would like to see some configuration like above.

Kind regards, Anachron

HarveyHunt commented 8 years ago

howm is still being worked on, but I've been doing other things recently.

I completely forgot about this and can't remember what you meant - could you explain it again please?

Anachron commented 8 years ago

Sure.

X resources
-----------

Dzen is able to read font and color setting from X resources.
As an example you can add following lines to ~/.Xresources

dzen2.font:       -*-fixed-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
dzen2.foreground: #22EE11
dzen2.background: black
