The files used in this video can be found on github: https://github.com/budlabs/youtube/tree/master/letslinux/028-030-polybar-workspaces This is the first of three videos where I create a dynamic workspace indicator that displays the name (icon) of the current workspace and the total number of existing workspaces. In this first video, we create a new hook module and create the first version of the script that will output the workspace information. !!! The getpid script on github is a fixed version. The reason i got multiple pids was because it returned the pid of the getpid script it self. ---- ### video info: color scheme: eighties terminal font: Inconsolata terminal emulator: URxvt figlet font: 3d.flf, by xero wallpaper: pauls-boutique ## videos https://youtu.be/NAf2-ibuJyk #028 workspaces https://youtu.be/Gpe0kv09vQ0 #029 magic workspaces https://youtu.be/8GuBukWex-c #030 wallpapers https://youtu.be/DK6aun1FbhM #019 fontawesome https://youtu.be/NZeqsLWcm6o #011 hook modules ## files - polybar-config - i3config - scripts/autoscript (to create scripts) - scripts/getpid - scripts/polybarstart (start bar and listener) - scripts/i3listen.py (listener script) - scripts/pbwsindi (prints workspace info) - scripts/prevws (switch/create workspace) - scripts/setwp (sets wallpaper, and store path) - scripts/wswpswitcher (sets wallpaper) ## resources https://github.com/jaagr/polybar/wiki/Inter-process-messaging https://github.com/jaagr/polybar/wiki/Module:-ipc https://github.com/wstam88/rofi-fontawesome lolban is the output of figlet piped through lolcat.
