The reason that made me not implement this earlier (I had a big collection of xbm icons back then) was the shitload of code required to support those :< However I see the code is well commented and ifdef shielded, I still have to think whether a dwm-like approach (having a list of patches for the user to apply) might work for bar too to keep the core lean)
I made a patch that works with the latest git version if anyone's interested: https://github.com/6c37/crux-ports/blob/master/bar-xbm/xbm.patch
I would really like to try bar, but I am still stuck with dzen2 because of my xbm icons. Any updates @LemonBoy?
If there's enough demand for such an option I'd be happy to include it, I had myself quite a huge stash of xbm icons but then switched to the artwiz font and never bothered to look back :)
It wound be great, because in this case people would be able to use much more fonts in bar instead of only iconic ones now.
I've put together some nice (?) code that doesn't depend on xcb_image and works fine with the upcoming gradient-background support :D Please ping me back if you don't get any news sometimes soon, I tend to forget about stuff :<
ping~
Will this be merged into master any time soon?
yep, but #105 is a blocker
Image-based icons would be great.. would be nice to write a local weather script for bar someday. :)
@LemonBoy Ping! Looks like https://github.com/LemonBoy/bar/issues/105 was fixed. Any chance to get this issue resolved now?
ping3 :p
What @jangel88 said.
I'll try to give a shot this weekend, I'm super busy lately and I'm also trying to come up with a cairo/pango version of bar that will (eventually) replace this :)
@onodera-punpun I definitely love your avatar :3
A quick heads up, I haven't finished implementing this at the moment, but someone created a nice font that includes a lot of icons [1], you should check it out!
Glyphicons also make for nice eye candy in the bar :)
@LemonBoy are you still working on this? :)
ping @LemonBoy
Are you interested in supporting xbm icons?
The biggest problem I see is adding another 300 lines of code, and dependency for xcb_image.
I have created a branch with functioning xbm support, however I do not feel that it is ready for a PR. The code could use testing and some improvements to xbm support and string handling. If anyone has suggestions let me know.
