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.
Surely this is exactly what a named pipe is for. Andrea, Why can xmobar read from a file but not a named pipe? -Andy -- Andy Gimblett Computer Science Department University of Wales Swansea http://www.cs.swan.ac.uk/~csandy/
