taffybar-0.2.0: A desktop bar similar to xmobar, but with more GUI

System.Taffybar.XMonadLog

Contents

Description

This widget listens on DBus for Log events from XMonad and displays the formatted status string. To log to this widget using the excellent dbus-core library, use code like the following:

 import DBus.Client.Simple
 main = do
   session <- connectSession
   emit session "/org/xmonad/Log" "org.xmonad.Log" "Update" [toVariant "msg"]

There is a more complete example of xmonad integration in the top-level module.
