Configuring The Xmobar Panel In Xmonad DistroTube One of the trickiest things about setting up the Xmonad tiling window manager is configuring the panel, which for most Xmonad users is Xmobar. When new users look at the example configs and the documentation for Xmobar, they can be overwhelmed by the lengthy manual and the multitude of options available. But it's not as complicated as it seems. - https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmobar - Xmobar Documentation - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jaor/xmobar/master/examples/xmobar.config - Example Xmobar config - https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/tree/master/.xmonad - DT's Xmonad config - https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/tree/master/.config/xmobar - DT's Xmobar config

Great Video. Can someone help me? I just want to know how to keybind a program like htop or vifm. Already bound most of my programs in xmonad. But don't know the one to launch a terminal based program. New to linux.
Using Arch Linux with Xmonad Window Manager. Don't need any xmobar. Just want to know the command or how to write it.
Thanks in Advance. Bless.

So, I have 3 monitors. All 3 are 1920x1080 but one is a 39- TV that sits above my 2 smaller 24- monitors. I'm guessing that I could get the monitor placement values from xrandr and put those coordinates in each xmobar config files. Do I have the right idea? I've never gotten your xmobar files to work with my monitor setup and that's probably why.

the only downside for me in Xmobar is when using it with trayer, if i have apps that insert icons on it, trayer starts to grow and overlaps Xmobar information... I don't know if this is fixable, but it really annoys me... :/

Only problem with xmobar & xmonad for me is that there's empty space where the xmobar would be on my second monitor, which isn't too big of a deal. Although, maybe I'll just have to make a second bar for my monitor :)

Laptop screens are so small that I display just text (no icons). As a single user Arch machine, one should know what all those letters and numbers refer to. Saved space = more info.

It is surprising that a person like you is aware about how good reading docs is. I'm a software engineer, you'd be surprised how many colleges don't care about reading docs properly

Hey there, anyone have the problem where the internet speed and CPU widget just say -updating- forever? anyone know how to fix this? I'm pretty much just using DT's dotfiles.
reply

With your tray bar on your top right, are you just leaving space in your xmobar config and launching trayer (or something similar) within that space?
reply

You should do a whole xmonad series. I'd love to see that. Just spend 20 to 30 minutes on something for each video. I think that would be very cool.
