Configuration

Overview

F00bar is configured using YAML, in ~/.config/f00bar/config.yml. It must define a top-level dictionary named bar:

bar:
  height: 26
  location: top
  background: 000000ff

Types

There are a couple types used that are specific to f00bar.

• font: this is a string in fontconfig format. Example of valid values:
  • Font Awesome 5 Brands
  • Font Awesome 5 Free:style=solid
  • Dina:pixelsize=10:slant=italic
  • Dina:pixelsize=10:weight=bold
• color: an rgba hexstring; RRGGBBAA. Examples:
