|
|
# OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
*-b, --backend={xcb,wayland,auto}*
|
|
Backend to use. The default is *auto*. In this mode, f00bar will
|
|
look for the environment variable _WAYLAND\_DISPLAY_, and if
|
|
available, use the *Wayland* backend. If not, the *XCB* backend is
|
|
used.
|
|
|
|
*-c, --config=FILE*
|
|
Use an alternative configuration file instead of the default one.
|
|
|
|
*-C, --validate*
|
|
Verify the configuration and then quit. If no errors are detected,
|
|
nothing is printed and the exit code is 0. If there are errors,
|
|
these are printed on stdout and the exit code is non-zero.
|
|
|
|
*-v, --version*
|
|
Show the version number and quit
|

# DESCRIPTION
|
|
*f00bar* is a light-weight and configurable status panel (_bar_, for
|
|
short) for *X* and *Wayland*.
|
|
|
|
It has a number of _modules_ that provide information in the form of
|
|
_tags_. For example, the _clock_ module has a _date_ tag that contains
|
|
the current date.
|
|
|
|
The modules do not know how to present the information though. This is
|
|
instead done by _particles_. And the user, you, decides which
|
|
particles (and thus how to present the data) to use.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, each particle can have a _decoration_. These are things
|
|
like a different background, or an graphical underline.
|
|
|
|
There is *no* support for images or icons. use an icon font
|
|
(e.g. *Font Awesome*, or *Material Icons*) if you want a graphical
|
|
representation.
|
|
|
|
There are a number of modules and particles builtin. More can be added
|
|
as plugins. You can even write your own!
