Re: [xmonad] xmobar dynamic spacing

Maybe you can customize the value you provide to `shorten` depending on the screen size? (a bit crumbesome, but might be easier than switching between bar applications, especially since polybar seems to have difficulties with displaying Xmonad workspaces info) -- Best regards, Platon Pronko PGP 2A62D77A7A2CB94E On 2023-03-24 22:11, Brandon Allbery wrote:

Polybar is a popular alternative. I'll have to dig the rest of your message out of the spamtrap :/ (or more likely let someone more familiar with xmobar do it) but xmobar isn't really good at dynamic spacing.
