Go program to generate input for lemonbar

• If you already have Go installed: go get github.com/guglicap/golem

• If you don't, install Go:

  • Archlinux: # pacman -Syu go gcc-go

  • Ubuntu

  • Others

  • Then run the command in the section above.

You should now have a binary file $GOPATH/bin/golem

golem -config [config]

Note that you need to pipe that into lemonbar. Here's an example from my setup:

gobar -config ~/.config/golem.json | lemonbar -f "Source Code Pro-8" -f "FontAwesome-8" -B "#222222" -F "#a4dfdf" -g 1920x25+0+0 -d | sh

FontAwesome is recommmended, as most defaults use it. It is also recommmended to pipe the output to sh.

Golem requires a json encoded config file. See the examples.
All of the top-level fields are required, while you can edit the Modules array to customize the look of your bar. Every module is encoded in this form:

{
     "Position", //If omitted it will be the same as the module above
     "Handler",  //Required.
     "Colors": { //Optional. Colors must be in hex format.
         "Background",
         "Foreground",
     },
     "Options":{
          //varies based on the module
     }
}          

Here's a list of handlers.
Most of them can be used with default options.
