I happened to notice that there's activity on fbpanel on github from
just a few days ago, so I took the opportunity to port my old patch to
the current version of fbpanel and create a pull request:
https://github.com/aanatoly/fbpanel/pull/19
This is basically identical to what I posted here.
When you replied to my bug report in November, 2011 (!), you asked for a
configuration example, which I never provided. There's one in the pull
request to upstream, but I'll repeat what I put there. The pull request
includes an image as well.
Given this configuration fragment:
Plugin {
type = genmon
config {
Command = get_qbiff_output
AllowPangoMarkup = 1
PollingTime = 1
MaxTextLength = 500
}
}
this text:
<tt><span size='larger' foreground='red'>● </span><span
foreground='red'>A</span> <span foreground='red'>Q</span> <span
foreground='#266522'>v</span> <span foreground='#266522'>/vsm</span><span
size='larger' foreground='red'> ●</span></tt>
Generates
● A Q v /vsm ●
in a fixed-width font with the bullets and upper-case letters in red and
the lower-case letters in green.
I'm not sure whether upstream is actually going to release 7.0 or
whether it will include my patch. I just keep patching fbpanel and using
a patched version. I don't run a graphical desktop on that many systems,
so this is not a huge deal for me....
