Hey all,

I just started trying xmonad out, and I really ilke it. I've used ratpoison in the past but eventually gave it up. xmonad seems to work better for me so far.

I realize this is a xmobar question, but I am guessing there are people on this list that uses xmobar also.

I have a .xmobarrc which looks like follows:

<snip>

Config { font = "-*-Fixed-Bold-R-Normal-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
        , bgColor = "black"
        , fgColor = "grey"
        , position = TopW L 100
        , lowerOnStart = True
        , commands = [ Run Cpu ["-L","3","-H","50","--normal","green","--high","red"] 10
                    , Run Memory ["-t","Mem: <usedratio>%"] 10
                    , Run Swap [] 10
                    , Run Date "%a %b %_d %l:%M" "date" 10
                    , Run Com "uname" ["-s","-r"] "blaj" 36000
                    , Run StdinReader
                    ]
       , sepChar = "%"
       , alignSep = "}{"
       , template = "%StdinReader% }{ %blaj% %cpu% | %memory% * %swap%    <fc=#ee9a00>%date%</fc>"
       }

</snip>

...and in ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs I have:

<snip>
...
xmproc <- spawnPipe "/usr/bin/xmobar /home/jcx/.xmobarrc"
...
</snip>

All I get is "updating..." where %StdinReader% is placed. Is this correct?? Am I missing something?

cheers,

Jacob.
