Termbar is a terminal window in the role of status bar. If you like Termbar idea please share your scripts with me via pull requests, pastebins, issues ... Thanks.
This idea came from assumption that you are using some kind of panel or bar in your WM and that many window managers are able to:
- create a gap between screen edge and window border
- ignore particular window
- show particular window on all workspaces (sticky windows)
Requirements:
- terminal window
- program with output to terminal
On the following image is Termbar (xterm) showing some info useful for me e.g number of ssh sessions running. It is very simple example, the possibilities are endless, you can output anything into Termbar.
Termbar window is ignored by cwm(1), it is ignored while switching between windows, it has no border, it is not covered by other windows if you maximize them.
