draw underline under statusbar elements with status2d patch

[plasmoduck]

Hi again, is it possible to draw an underline under my statusbar elements using the status2d patch like the tag indicator underlines to match? If so then how? I know you can draw shapes with it.

I haven't tested this, but before returning from the draw_status2d function ref. https://github.com/plasmoduck/modwm2/blob/main/patch/bar_status2d.c#L50-L58

try adding a line like this:

drawindicator(bar->mon, NULL, 1, a->x, a->y, a->w, a->h, 0, 1, 0, tiledindicatortype);

I tried this but it didnt work.

draw_status2d(Bar bar, BarArg a) {

if BAR_EXTRASTATUS_PATCH || BAR_STATUSCMD_PATCH

   drawindicator(bar->mon, NULL, 1, a->x, a->y, a->w, a->h, 0, 1, 0, tiledindicatortype);
   return drawstatusbar(a, rawstext);
   #else
   drawindicator(bar->mon, NULL, 1, a->x, a->y, a->w, a->h, 0, 1, 0, tiledindicatortype);
   return drawstatusbar(a, stext);
   #endif // #if BAR_EXTRASTATUS_PATCH | BAR_STATUSCMD_PATCH

}

In what way did it not work?

I believe you would have to draw the line after the status has drawn, something like this:

draw_status2d(Bar *bar, BarArg *a)
{
    int ret;
    #if BAR_EXTRASTATUS_PATCH || BAR_STATUSCMD_PATCH
    ret = drawstatusbar(a, rawstext);
    #else
    ret = drawstatusbar(a, stext);
    #endif // #if BAR_EXTRASTATUS_PATCH | BAR_STATUSCMD_PATCH
    drawindicator(bar->mon, NULL, 1, a->x, a->y, a->w, a->h, 0, 1, 0, tiledindicatortype);
    return ret;
}

I tried that too and no underline on my statusbar

[bakkeby]

I don't know, I tried the above and I got a line.

[plasmoduck]

Okay it worked, sorry my fault. Is it possible to get broken lines _ etc under the statusbar? Or only a solid line like that?

[bakkeby]

It's only a solid line. As far as dwm is concerned the status is just a single string.

I am not sure how you'd go about making a line for each "block" as it is not straightforward to differentiate between when one block starts and another one begins.

[plasmoduck]

I thought it might be tricky, fair enough. Thanks mate

Btw, someone reported a memory leak bug with my fork, not sure if you patched yours but here is the comment https://github.com/plasmoduck/modwm/issues/2
