xmobar VS ranger

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.

I use Sakura for terminals, xmobar for info, nemo) as the file manager, flameshot to grab screenshots, picom for transparency, notify-osd for showing notifications, xscreensaver to blank/lock the screen, redshift to set brightness/adjust color, x-on-resize to handle connecting screens, and parcellite for clipboards.

I can't build the project. configure: error: X11 libraries not found, so X11 package cannot be built Ok, so I went to xmobar's repo and installed all their stack.yaml dependencies via nix and X11 still fails to build.

I've always just used the plain textfile option for configuring xmobar. This works out of the box with nixos, but now I want to use a haskell source file like shown here and import arbitrary haskell libraries.

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.

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

I tried this example config from xmobar.org. And it works. Config { font = "-misc-fixed-*-*-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" , additionalFonts = [] , borderColor = "black" , border = TopB , bgColor = "black" , fgColor = "grey" , alpha = 255 , position = Top , textOffset = -1 , iconOffset = -1 , lowerOnStart = True , pickBroadest = False , persistent = False , hideOnStart = False , iconRoot = "." , allDesktops = True , overrideRedirect = True , commands = [ Run Weather "EGPF" ["-t",": C", "-L","18","-H","25", "--normal","green", "--high","red", "--low","lightblue"] 36000 , Run Network "eth0" ["-L","0","-H","32", "--normal","green","--high","red"] 10 , Run Network "eth1" ["-L","0","-H","32", "--normal","green","--high","red"] 10 , Run Cpu ["-L","3","-H","50", "--normal","green","--high","red"] 10 , Run Memory ["-t","Mem: %"] 10 , Run Swap [] 10 , Run Com "uname" ["-s","-r"] "" 36000 , Run Date "%a %b %_d %Y %H:%M:%S" "date" 10 ] , sepChar = "%" , alignSep = "}{" , template = "%cpu% | %memory% * %swap% | %eth0% - %eth1% }\ \{ %date%| %EGPF% | %uname%" }

same error: xmobar: /home/janus/.config/xmobar/xmobar.hs: hGetContents: invalid argument (invalid byte sequence) but when I change the arch wiki config file to xmobar.org config file. It works.

There is an example on how to do this in the xmobar git repository

Yes if you have barely any files you're not going to experience performance issues. Just like editing a 100x100 pixel image vs 1000000x1000000 pixels. Same as majority of computer things. ranger is notoriously slow and it's unfixable due to python. https://github.com/ranger/ranger/issues/1025

I also opened an issue on github

I ended up using ranger-fm after evaluating a bunch of TUI file managers. I ended up picking ranger because it I can install it via pip from PyPI on any machine with a decently recent version of Python 3 and venv.

You can use the Ranger Filesystem. It has previews for files. Great for exploration, as you claim to need.

My personal favorite is ranger, a multi-panel console file manager that works nicely in a Neovim terminal. I also use floaterm to get floating terminal windows for ranger and lazygit, but that's optional. A Neovim tab with a terminal would work equally well.

Then making tons, and I mean TONS of dotfiles. Heres and example of standard dotfile configs From custom keyboard shortcuts for terminal apps and editors like vim. To i3 configs entirely. Even small qol changes like a ssh config so i don't need to follow the damn template of @:. And generally moving about in the terminal alot more until i felt comfy. So say i wanted to compress a file; i'd probably opt to do that in the terminal until it just became second nature. Then move to general file management. At first starting out with tools like ranger to make life easier but slowly progressing to just using the base commands (cd, ls, etc). The terminal defiantly isn't for everyone and is sometimes a lot worse then gui apps. Mostly in terms of usability and speed (depending). But i can safey say that its for me.

Actually no, ranger has its own implementation. Quite a while ago I proposed to replace it with vidir, but we never got around to pulling the trigger. The relevant issue/patch: https://github.com/ranger/ranger/pull/1058
