I thought a nice little howm gallery would be a cool idea. Enjoy. :)

that's nice mr hunt, I like it. Especially the gaps

Cool, moar GIFs! :D

convinced.
I'll try it once more

Awesome. :)

I have just pushed some new changes that make scripting a bar slightly easier. I can post my dzen2 script as well if you would like?

Nice work, hh, this will make a nice spin.

Precious! Can't wait to roast that up :)

Looks great, I have got a dzen bar running too (not as tidy as your script though). The fact that you need two instances of Dzen to have left aligned text and right aligned text is really annoying.

Just a little tip, you can have -y -20 as an argument to dzen to place the bar at the bottom- makes things a little more portable. :)

^ so rewrite it -- i told you it was a hack, proof-of-concept sort of thing; I'm sure you can do better. I'll pull it off my github now.

Just messed with some dzen colours and unicode icons to represent layouts. I think they may be a little small though...

^ Looks good Harvey 8)

bar and conky both allow alignment

Now this seems rather nice actually. I might find a use for this the next time I build a 100MB Xorg/busybox distro.

Thanks Subsentient, I am working on getting some more code done whilst I am on holiday, hopefully some more bug fixes soon. :-)

I might be helpful in sterilizing your code and making it standards-compliant. I'm a C language-lawyer. Let me know if this is something you want.

That is definitely something that I would find helpful, this is my first bigger C project so I am not sure where to start with compliance. :-(

@harveyhunt: link me your source.

EDIT: Found it.

Harvey, I read a good portion, and this code is really, really good. I'm serious. It's beautiful. Well thought out, well optimized, bit shift and AND combinations that make my eyes hurt, it's glorious. I do hate the indentation but that's because I love Allman style. It appears you are attempting to comply with C99. That's fine, but I bet with minimal work you could comply with C89. :^D

Is that something you'd like?

The only immediate possible standard violation is that I saw a union in there, and knowing how unions are usually used, I must ask. Are you using it to type-pun? If so, that's allowed by GCC, but not actually legal C. You can only read the member of a union you last wrote to, sayeth the standard.

Making sure stuff adhere to C99 would be awesome- I mentioned to you on IRC that I require C99 for the variadic macros.

I want to optimise the code a little more, it is a little too slow sometimes. Can you recommend a profiler that you like?

I have just made a gif showing off cut and paste.

I really need to get around to updating my colours...

I finally got some free time to mess with some new colours - they are about as festive as I get. ;-)
