I wrote a small program to help with truncating window titles and such in Polybar.

• scissrs

  2 6 2.7 Rust

  A string truncator and scroller written in Rust.

The working principle with the method that I demonstrate here is that the WM writes window names to a "pipe" file, and polybar reads from it. Say i3 creates a file called /tmp/.i3-windows, and appends a line with the window name every time focus is changed. Using polybar's script plugin, we can read from that file, like in this simple module:
