Oatbar

It is a standalone desktop bar that can be used with various WMs and DEs. This bar aims to become one of the most full-featured bars available.

• Flexibility and pluggability of information sources from existing ecosystems
  • Arbitrary scripts
  • i3blocks format
  • i3status format
  • PNG image embedding that could be rendered by a source script at runtime.
• External plugins are preferred, but the most basic modules are embedded: EWHM, layouts, clock, etc.
• Conversion of string sources to other types (numbers, bytes, percentages) that could be rendered by specialize widgets
• Native Pango markup support
• Source data cleaning via regexes so inflexible source module data can be cleaned inside of the oatbar.
