1 splitstatus
2 ===========
3
4 Description
5 -----------
6 Inspired by a reddit post I saw, from someone who had already implemented this behaviour.
7 Code for this patch is based on their git repo.
8 Unfortunately, I cannot find the reddit post I saw in the first place (it was from quite a while ago).

10 This patch replaces the standard statusbar items (window name to the right of the tags, and status on the right) with two status items: one in the centre, and one on the right.
11
12 The status is still set in the same way with `xsetroot`. However, for the splitstatus behaviour, a delimeter character is added (semicolon by default) to separate the centre status text from the right status text.
13
14 Usage
15 -----
16 Status should be set in the form `<middle>;<right>` if semicolon is the delimeter character (set using the `splitdelim` variable in `config.def.h`).
17
18 If the status text does not contain the delimeter character, the text will appear only in the centre of the bar.
19 This can be changed by setting the option `splitstatus` to 0, which will put the status text on the right.
20
21 Please note that this patch needs `rm config.h` to be added to the `Makefile`.
