I'm a bit lost, I read section 6 of the wmii manual:
http://code.suckless.org/contrib/guide/wmii-3/guide-en/guide_en and
am still a bit lost.
my ~/.wmii-3.5/wmiirc has the following in it
status() {
echo -n Unread: $(~/bin/get_gmail) '|' Now Playing:
$(~/bin/mpd_nowplaying.sh) '|' IP: $(~/bin/get_ip) '|' $(date +"%a
%b. %e %Y | %l:%M:%S %p")
}
All I want to color is the text for the text "Unread:", "Now
Playing:", etc. But it seems not to accept bash color codes.
Doing a wmiir create /rbar/foo #000000 #ffffff #aaaaaa Foo doesn't
really do anything, it just hangs there and I have the C-c to cancel
the operation and I'm kinda confused about how this works in
conjunction with wmiirc to begin with.
Sorry if i'm being a pita.
