I've just started to use xmobar. It's cool. But I still need dzen2 for the DynamicLog stuff. Is there another way?
No, for the time being. I can easily write a plugin if you use a log file, but reading a named pipe is almost impossible for xmobar.
Maybe DynamicLog could create a symlink whose target is the string to display.
What would be wrong with using a file?
It would grow.
Unless you did the same thing to the file that you'd do with the symlink: truncate and overwrite it.
Ah, I see. Hm. I was about to say that creating a symlink is an atomic operation, but now I realize that in this context it isn't, because we would need to remove the symlink first before creating a new one. But somehow it's just cool to abuse symlinks for this :-) rm -f ~/.xmonad.dynamiclog ln -s " 1 [2]<3> 4 // xterm" ~/.xmonad.dynamiclog Kai
