how do you use polybar on ratpoison? do you launch it through your startup file? I did not find your startup file in your dots

benofbrown commented 4 years ago

Yes, I launch it in my startup file. It's not in the repo at the moment because it was very different across my work and home computer, but I've figured out how to handle that better now so I'll update the repo soon, but in the meantime here's my home one:

#!/bin/bash

(
xset -b
xsetroot -solid rgb:00/2b/36
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
polybar ben &
pkill redshift && redshift &
) >/dev/null 2>&1

Thanks for sharing your startup file.On your ratpoisonrc file you load it with "exec /home/ben/bin/startup.sh" which is from root directory. What if I load it from my home directory? will that make any difference?

drmarwat commented 4 years ago

Could you also share your polybar launch.sh file as well please ? My entry for loading polybar from ratpoison is

Polybar

unmanage panel unmanage polybar exec_always ~/.config/polybar/launch.sh & is that looking good? I have been unable to load polybar with ratpoison till now . One last question is that your polybar config file seems to be used with bspwm and i3 . Shouldnt it be having some lines for working with ratpoison ?

benofbrown commented 4 years ago

So instead of launch.sh I have that startup.sh. If you do something similar in your launch.sh it should be fine.

I only use polybar with ratpoison, though the config is based on the example one so it has that bspwm and i3 stuff in. If you look at the modules I've enabled you can see I'm not using those other wm ones. The only relevant file not in the repo is that startup.sh which I pasted in above.

drmarwat commented 4 years ago

I am pasting my current ploybar config file adopted from yours with some modifications. I need some helps here

I added jgmenu module but it does not appear as expected on the left side of bar . Can you check what is wrong with my entry for jgmenu
I want to remove i3 and bspwm modules and add a [module/ratpoison] but can`t find and example entry to make this module. Can you help me in this?
I dont have any powermenu on the right end of the bar . What is causing it?

pasted is the config file I am using

I finally managed to have a working polybar on my ratpoison with your settings + added jgmenu to it as well

Glad you got it sorted in the end, I'll close this off now.
