5 years ago Hello! Thanks a lot for opening the issue!!
I agree this is an issue and I've been thinking about it for while. What I habe in mind is something similar to i3blocks which is to add a config file that reads each component, builds the code for each entry, and runs them as usual. If anyone has a suggestion or wants to help, I'd be more than glad to talk to them.
Anyway, for now, you need to have go (golang) installed and build each go component inside components folder independently using go build componentName.go.
You then need to modify each entry starting from https://github.com/aonemd/onpar/blob/master/onpar.go#L36 and add the proper path to each component under components folder. For example, I've this line in my onpar.go file:
batteryLevel := NewComponent("/home/aonemd/Workspace/onpar/components/battery_level", 2)You need to do this for all existing components as well as for any other component you may want to add (you can add components in any language you want by the way. There's already already one component written in zsh).
After you're done, you need to build to main par component using go build onpar.go.
Now you can just run the binary onpar or to apply it system wide for daily use, read more.
The final step would be to add the path to this onpar binary file to your system startup script. For example, I use .xinitrc to start my programs at startup so I have this in my .xinitrc:
/home/aonemd/Workspace/onpar/onpar &That's it. You don't need to change anything in your dwm config at all. If you still have any issues, please don't hesitate to reply to this issue.

First off Genius!!! I been waiting for something like this, but I am way to noob to build something like it, for now at least. But my question is what is the easiest way to install this, and does it automatically overwrite the default bar or do I have to change my config.def.h and recompile. Im still gunna try to figure it out but any help would be appreciated.
