taffybar VS dotfiles

just use taffybar https://github.com/taffybar/taffybar

Now I'm getting a couple of actual build errors, which are on taffybars end (the issue on github: https://github.com/taffybar/taffybar/issues/542 if anyone would like to fix it :P). I'll try installing the project from source instead and see where that takes me.

You likely need to copy over the config file if you didn't do that already. Check the bottom of the github page. https://github.com/taffybar/taffybar

To be short as possible, you cannot use taffybar unless you use the nix pkg manager to install it. Anyway the guide is here: - https://hackage.haskell.org/package/taffybar - https://github.com/taffybar/taffybar

Use taffybar: https://github.com/taffybar/taffybar

My dotfiles are on github so have a look if you want. Plugins are here https://github.com/rcarriga/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/nvim/lua/plugins.lua, with config for most in their own lua file and the colorscheme defined in `lua/colors.lua`. Not the tidiest though!

If you see a theme you like go the the authors profile and look for a dotfiles repo. You'll usually find an answer. https://github.com/rcarriga/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/nvim/lua/colors.lua

im using this setup https://github.com/rcarriga/dotfiles/tree/master/.config/xmonad and it kind of works but you have to manually update the xmonad and xmonad-contrib commits in stack.yaml since it uses old versions

Not that difficult just a bit different. The best way I've found is to create a FIFO stream and store your workspace state there. My setup highlights the current workspace and the currently selected window. Each window is given an icon and you can add icons for new window classes. Here's the source https://github.com/rcarriga/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/xmonad/src/main.hs#L200
