Re: [dev] wmii status bar config
Also, you can comment out the status() {} stuff in wmiirc_local or
wmii.rc, and put a status command somewhere in $PATH, for easier
editing.

Re: [dev] [wmii] Chromium always starts as a floating window
Thanks! That works like a charm - it's always the simple things... Out of curiosity, what is it about that setting that causes wmii to make it float initially? It seems as though wmii ignores the "Hide system title bar and use compact borders" setting and surrounds it with the wmii border regardless, so why isn't wmii also consistent with the floating behavior? -Aaron On Thu, Mar 17, 2011 at 7:12 PM, Le Tian wrote: > its quite simple, > 1. start chromium > 2. goto preferences > 3. goto personal stuff > 4. in appearance choose use GTK-theme or "use system title bar and borders". > 5. thats it > that will make chromium start with system borders that are managed by wmii, > so browser will not start in a floating window.
Re: [dev] wmii status bar config
thanks a lot, that is better, cause my wmiirc_local is empty) I use xbindkeys for hotkeying - didn't want to mess with my wmii scattered-all-over-the-place files. I'll try it out.

Posting a 'grep' without context is pretty worthless. The only section you
should care about is the part starting at 'status() {'.
So if anyone had an experience in setting up his custom bar, could you
please tip me how to do it, cause I don't know where to look else.
Look in the actual file, not the grep, and you should see something like:
# Status Bar Info
status() {
echo -n $(uptime | sed 's/.*://; s/,//g') '|' $(date)
}
(I think that's the default for some version or another...)
The point is that whatever's in the function is what gets run each time the
status is updated.
If the custom script you mentioned in the first post is called do-the-thing,
and it's in your $PATH and executable, just change those four lines to:
# Status Bar Info
status() {
do-the-thing
}

Tian,
Here is a copy of my wmiirc_local including the status bar detail (the
variables at the top refer to key-bindings I set in the main wmiirc so that
all users get access to them and can customise the apps they use, I also
have autocutsel launch when I login so that parcellite and the term
clipboards are kept in sync

Re: [dev] [wmii] Chromium always starts as a floating window
its quite simple, 1. start chromium 2. goto preferences 3. goto personal stuff 4. in appearance choose use GTK-theme or "use system title bar and borders". 5. thats it that will make chromium start with system borders that are managed by wmii, so browser will not start in a floating window.
