Make a better status bar

cpadilla opened this issue · comments

There are a few features I want to add to dwmstatus (and I'm not opposed to using something else. I should look into polybar or lemonbar)

  • show icons on the left
  • add wifi signals (need to finish #7 first)
  • show time (HH:MM PM) in the center
  • have seconds indicated by blinking ":" at least, possibly a "loading bar" underneath the time to indicate each passing minute.
  • volume icon on the right
  • option to click on volume icon to bring up pavucontrol?
  • mini calendar (like in windows; show the current date) maybe have this link with #13
  • when changing windows, display the last active window title for 5 seconds before fading, or while hovering over the title bar

After some consideration I think I've decided how I want the title/status bar to behave (added to main comment).

The last feature may be the hardest to implement and might be worth making another ticket for.
