BadBar

looks better that way - evilwm,yeahwm ,Oroborus and ect...

::: HOWTO USE :::
$ BadBar [-opts]
	> opt list <
	-f - Spec Font as string (eg. from xfontsel) :)
	-fg, -bg - Foreground and Background colors as string or whatever X supports.
	-geometry - Geometry string as "[width]x[height][+-]x[+-]y" or just "[+-]x[+-]y"

	[-+]b - Draw border or not.

start it in ,xinitrc or with an script in startup folder.

 BadBar -fg black -bg red -geometry 0 x 0 y

you will have to play with the placement.

# BadBar config
# Godexsoft 2004

Term = xterm 
Xmms = xmms

BadMenu - A very simple menu for the BadWM +
uses the keyboard only:

Usage:
$ BadMenu [-opts]
> opt list <
-fg, -bg - Foreground and Background colors as string.
-xoff, -yoff - X,Y Offset from the upper left corner. This is where the menu will show up.
-cfg - Point to Config file. (default is ~/.BadMenu.conf) sample config file in conf/.BadMenu.conf
-h, --help - help

A good idea would be, to put BadMenu in your .xinitrc to autoload the menu on BadWM startup.

Config:
Read the example config file, its not that hard to figure it out

.BadMenu.conf

Code: Select all

# BadMenu sample config
# b at swag.at

xterm = xterm 
nmap = nmapfe
XMMS = xmms
Firebird = firebird
Thunderbird = thunderbird
ethereal = ethereal
top = aterm -e top
emacs = emacs
xeyes = xeyes

.xinitrc

Code: Select all

# sample .xinitrc
# b at swag.at

BadMenu -fg white -bg black -fs 11 &
