1 awesomebar
2 =====================
3
4 Description
5 -----------
6 This patch changes the taskbar to be more like awesome. To be specific, it:
7 * shows all tasks in the current tag in the taskbar at all times
8 * clicking on an unfocused window's title in the taskbar focuses that window
9 * clicking on a focused window's title in the taskbar hides that window
10 * clicking on a hidden window's title in the taskbar unhides and focuses that window
11
12 You can also hide and unhide windows from the keyboard. The default bindings are:
13 * M-j/M-k to cycle through the visible windows in the current workspace
14 * M-J/M-K to cycle through all windows in the current workspace - hidden windows shown this way are re-hidden once focus is lost
15 * M-h to hide the current active window
16 * M-s to unhide a window made visible by M-J/M-K
17 * M-S to show all windows in the current workspace including hidden windows
18
19 Since this patch relies on knowing how big everything is in the taskbar, make sure to adjust the buttonpress()/drawbar() functions to account for any space in the taskbar used by other patches (such as systray).
