Due to the way eww configuration is set up, for each dynamic variable (the number of them quickly grows) you need a shell command which opens a process.
This became quickly a bottleneck, where the bar took up 10% of the CPU-time due to the creation of many processes all the time (without even considering the workspace widget).
gBar implements all of the information gathering(CPU, RAM, GPU, Disk, ...) in native C++ code, which is WAY faster. In fact, gBar was meant to be a fast replacement/alternative for eww for me.
And lastly: Implementing it myself is fun and a great excuse to learn something new!
### What scheme are you using?
The colors are from the Dracula theme: https://draculatheme.com
### I want to customize the colors
If you have SASS installed: Edit ~/.config/gBar/style.scss and regenerate style.css with it
### I want to modify the widgets behaviour/Add my own widgets
Unfortunately, you need to implement it yourself in C++. For inspiration look into src/Bar.cpp or src/AudioFlyin.cpp, or open an issue(Maybe I'll implement it for you).
### The Audio widget doesn't open
Delete /tmp/gBar__audio.
This happens, when you kill the widget before it closes automatically after a few seconds.
### CPU Temperature is wrong/Lock doesn't work
*This is caused by the way my system and/or Linux is setup.*
Temperature: Edit the variable ```tempFilePath``` in ```src/System.cpp``` to the correct thermal zone file and recompile. The one for my system is *very* likely wrong.
Lock: There is no generic way to lock a system. So please, implement it to suit your needs (Replace XXX by a shell command in ```src/System.cpp```)
### The icons are not showing!
Please install a Nerd Font from https://www.nerdfonts.com (I use Caskaydia Cove NF), and change style.css/style.scss accordingly (Refer to 'I want to customize the colors' for that)
