      1 extrabar
      2 ==========
      3 
      4 Description
      5 -----------
      6 This patch will enable an extra status bar in dwm, in a similar manner to the
      7 [dualstatus](../dualstatus/) patch. If the standard status bar is at the top
      8 via `topbar`, the extra status bar will be placed at the bottom and vice versa.

     11 
     12 There is now support for separate left and right statuses, click functionality and toggling the extra
     13 bar separately from the standard bar.
     14 
     15 The statuses can be set as follows:
     16 
     17 	xsetroot -name "standard status text;extra bar left status text;extra bar right status text"
     18 
     19 If you don't want a status at the left of the extra bar, you can omit the text between the
     20 separators so you have `;;` between the standard status text and the right status text. You
     21 can change the separator by changing the `statussep` variable.
     22 
     23 There are three clicking areas on the extra bar: the left status, the middle (between the statuses)
     24 and the right status.
     25 
     26 You can change the visibility for the extra bar by changing the `extrabar` variable. You can
     27 toggle the extra bar using the `toggleextrabar` function, bound to `MODKEY+SHIFT+B`. If you
     28 want the bars to toggle at the same time, set them to toggle with the same keybinding.

     32 The status bar text can be set as follows:
     33 
     34 	xsetroot -name "standard status text;extra bar status text"
     35 
     36 Support for an alternative delimiter is available and the delimiter can be
     37 changed by editing the `statussep` variable.
     38 
     39 The text can be anchored to the left or right side of the screen by editing
     40 the `extrabarright` variable (20210209 diff only).
