SYNOPSIS

       lemonbar [-h | -g widthxheight+x+y | -b | -d | -f font | -p | -n name | -u pixel | -B
       color | -F color | -U color]

DESCRIPTION

       lemonbar (formerly known as bar) is a lightweight bar entirely based on XCB. Provides full
       UTF-8 support, basic formatting, RandR and Xinerama support and EWMH compliance without
       wasting your precious memory.

OPTIONS

       -h  Display the help and exit.

       -g widthxheight+x+y
           Set the window geometry. If a parameter is omitted it's filled with the default value.
           If the y parameter is specified along with the -b switch then the position is relative
           to the bottom of the screen.

       -b  Dock the bar at the bottom of the screen.

       -d  Force docking without asking the window manager. This is needed if the window manager
           isn't EWMH compliant.

       -f font
           Define the font to load into one of the five slots (the number of slots is hardcoded
           and can be tweaked by changing the MAX_FONT_COUNT parameter in the source code).

       -a number
           Set number of clickable areas (default is 10)

       -p  Make the bar permanent, don't exit after the standard input is closed.

       -n name
           Set the WM_NAME atom value for the bar.

       -u pixel
           Sets the underline width in pixels. The default is 1.

       -B color
           Set the background color of the bar. color must be specified in the hex format
           (#aarrggbb, #rrggbb, #rgb). If no compositor such as compton or xcompmgr is running
           the alpha channel is silently ignored.

       -F color
           Set the foreground color of the bar. Accepts the same color formats as -B.

       -U color
           Set the underline color of the bar. Accepts the same color formats as -B.

FORMATTING

       lemonbar provides a screenrc-inspired formatting syntax to allow full customization at
       runtime. Every formatting block is opened with "%{" and closed by "}" and accepts the
       following commands, the parser tries its best to handle malformed input. Use "%%" to get a
       literal percent sign ("%").

       R   Swap the current background and foreground colors.

       l   Aligns the following text to the left side of the screen.

       c   Aligns the following text to the center of the screen.

       r   Aligns the following text to the right side of the screen.

       Owidth
           Offset the current position by width pixels in the alignment direction.

       Bcolor
           Set the text background color. The parameter color can be - or a color in one of the
           formats mentioned before. The special value - resets the color to the default one.

       Fcolor
           Set the text foreground color. The parameter color can be - or a color in one of the
           formats mentioned before. The special value - resets the color to the default one.

       Tindex
           Set the font used to draw the following text. The parameter index can either be - or
           the 1-based index of the slot which contains the desired font. If the parameter is -
           lemonbar resets to the normal behavior (matching the first font that can be used for
           the character). If the selected font can't be used to draw a character, lemonbar will
           fall back to normal behavior for that character

       Ucolor
           Set the text underline color. The parameter color can be - or a color in one of the
           formats mentioned before. The special value - resets the color to the default one.

       Abutton:command:
           Create a clickable area starting from the current position, when the area is clicked
           command is printed on stdout. The area is closed when a A token, not followed by : is
           encountered.

           Eg. %{A:reboot:} Click here to reboot %{A}

           The button field is optional, it defaults to the left button, and it's a number
           ranging from 1 to 5 which maps to the left, middle, right, scroll up and scroll down
           movements. Your mileage may vary.

           Nested clickable areas can trigger different commands.

           Eg. %{A:reboot:}%{A3:halt:} Left click to reboot, right click to shutdown %{A}%{A}

       Sdir
           Change the monitor the bar is rendered to. dir can be either

           +/- Next/previous monitor.

           f/l First/last monitor.

           0-9 Nth monitor.

       Attribute modifiers

       +attribute
           Set the attribute attribute for the following text.

       -attribute
           Unset the attribute attribute for the following text.

       !attribute
           Toggle the attribute attribute for the following text.

       Where attribute is one of the following

       o   Draw a line over the text.

       u   Draw a line under the text.

OUTPUT

       Clicking on an area makes lemonbar output the command to stdout, followed by a newline,
       allowing the user to pipe it into a script, execute it or simply ignore it. Simple and
       powerful, that's it.
