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

Help installing 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.

Anyone here using Taffybar?
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
