Xmobar update on keypress and hiding windows
Updating statusbar modules(like brightness or volume) only on keypress instead of timeout. Didn't find much about this for xmobar. Looked into Github issue but didn't understand exactly how to implement it

Strange colons in XMobar
Strange. I probably won't have time to look into this today, but I will look into it this weekend if it's still happening. The lead maintainer is nice and responsive. Feel free to make an issue at https://github.com/jaor/xmobar.

Issue with writeShellScriptBin and writeScriptBin
Code: `` trayer-padding-icon = pkgs.writeScriptBin "trayer-padding-icon.sh" '' #!/bin/sh # Copied from https://github.com/jaor/xmobar/issues/239#issuecomment-233206552 # Detects the width of running trayer-srg window (xprop name 'panel') # and creates an XPM icon of that width, 1px height, and transparent. # Outputs an -tag for use in xmobar to display the generated # XPM icon. # # Run script from xmobar: #Run Com "/where/ever/trayer-padding-icon.sh" [] "trayerpad" 10 # and use%trayerpad%` in your template.

?trayer padding in haskell
That's a bit unfortunate, but I think adding something like to xmobar's format would be a good idea. You might want to mention that as an alternative in https://github.com/jaor/xmobar/issues/583 so jaor has the full picture and can let us know what he thinks about it all. Perhaps just link to this discussion.

Stalonetray dynamically sizing xmobar
I followed 4.1.2 Dynamically sizing xmobar in xmobar.org and it works with 1 monitor, but with 2 monitors the tray is in the wrong place

How to build an xmobar config from from a haskell source file?
The ah-xmobar built by NixOS doesn't display. I'm now reasonably convinced that the xmobar library provided by nixpkgs was not compiled with the necessary flags to support my config. Reason being that: - Compiled ah-xmobar using NixOS pre-compiled xmobar library doesn't work with xmobar's example hs config. - Compiled ah-xmobar using NixOS pre-compiled xmobar library works with a config that uses commands = [] and template = "%uname%". - Compiled ah-xmobar using custom compiled xmobar library with the +all_extensions flag works for any configuration.

Using trayer with xmobar?
https://github.com/jaor/xmobar/blob/master/examples/padding-icon.sh this script generates a transparent xpm icon same width as your tray size. run this as a module in xmobar wherever you want trayer to be and launch trayer to that position. take a look at this https://github.com/Sloopy3333/dotfiles/tree/master/.config/xmonad

Update xmobar command with key binding in xmonad config
xmobar can display data from unix pipes. make script that writes what you want to a pipe and let xmobar display it. like this https://github.com/Sloopy3333/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/xmonad/scripts/backlight-pipe.sh and use pipereader to display in xmobar, you just make sure that whenever you change your backlight you write that to its pipe and xmobar will display the new value.

XMobar StdinReader not loading
that is exactly what you should do. xmobar just reads what xmonad outputs so you have to define a loghook saying what you want to output in your xmonad.hs take a look at my xmonad.hs.
