@node Overview
@chapter Overview
@command{xpybar} is a minimalistic dock panel with high extensibility.
Its source code is designed so that all parts of it can be replaced by
a configuration script. This is one of the reasons @command{xpybar} is
written in Python. Backwards compatibility will never break on
point-releases.
@command{xpybar} itself is very small, but it comes with a large array
of extensions (installed to @file{/usr/share/xpybar/plugins}). The
extensions come with associated configuration script examples
(installed to @command{/usr/share/xpybar/examples/plugins}.) There are
some additional examples in @command{/usr/share/xpybar/examples}.
@node Invoking
@chapter Invoking
@command{xpybar} recognises the following options:
@table @option{}
@item -c
@itemx --configurations FILE
Select configuration script. If not used, the program will search for
a file named @file{xpybarrc} or @file{.xpybarrc} (depending on the
directory) in the usual configuration directories.
The configuration script must be written in Python 3,
it will be loaded as part of the xpybar's source code itself.
@item -h
@itemx -?
@itemx --help
Print this help information.
@item -v
@itemx --version
Print program name and version.
@item -C
@itemx --copying
@itemx --copyright
Print copyright information.
@item -W
@itemx --warranty
Print non-warranty information.
@item --
Anything after @option{--} will be available to the configuration
script via the variable @code{config_file}, which is a list.
@end table
@node Configuration scripting interface
@chapter Configuration scripting interface
@code{xpybar} is configured by reimplement functions (and
running some code.) You can find the source code and read it at
@url{https://codeberg.org/maandree/xpybar/tree/master/src/}.
If the documentation is not clear enough, please file a bug
att @url{https://codeberg.org/maandree/xpybar/issues} or to
@code{maandree@@kth.se}.
Graphic-functions are found in @file{x.py} and @file{__main__.py}.
You will also find some basic functions @file{__main__.py}.
Functions and classes that are useful for configurations
are located in @file{util.py}.
Please also refer to the example configuration scripts.
