:END:
The timeout of the modeline indicates how often it refreshes in
seconds. I think two seconds is good.
#+begin_src lisp
(setf *mode-line-timeout* 2)
#+end_src
*** Formatting Options
Next we get to the content of the modeline. This format follows the
format indicated in the manpage of ~date~.
#+begin_src lisp
(setf *time-modeline-string* "%F %H:%M")
#+end_src
Lets also indicate how the groupname is displayed.
#+begin_src lisp
(setf *group-format* "%t")
#+end_src
The window format should display first its window number, then its
titled, limited to 30 characters.
#+begin_src lisp
(setf *window-format* "%n: %30t")
#+end_src
*** Mode-Line Theme
The modeline is pretty easy. First, lets load the ~colors.lisp~ file we just created:
#+begin_src lisp
(load "~/.stumpwm.d/colors.lisp")
#+end_src
Next, we can set some colours for the modeline. Lets set the
background of the modeline to Nord1 and the foreground to Nord5, I
think this is a pretty good combination.
#+begin_src lisp
(setf *mode-line-background-color* phundrak-nord1
,*mode-line-foreground-color* phundrak-nord5)
#+end_src
We /could/ also use some borders in the modeline. But we wont. Lets
still set its colour to Nord1, just in case.
#+begin_src lisp
(setf *mode-line-border-color* phundrak-nord1
,*mode-line-border-width* 0)
#+end_src
*** Mode-Line Modules
Here are some modules that we will load for the modeline:
#+name: modeline-modules
#+caption: Modules used by the modeline
| Module Name | Why Do I Need It? |
|------------------+--------------------------------------------------|
| battery-portable | Get information on the battery level of a laptop |
| cpu | Get the CPU usage |
| mpd | Display MPDs status |
| mem | Get the memory usage |
#+name: gen-load-modeline-modules
#+header: :wrap src lisp
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var modules=modeline-modules
(mapconcat (lambda (module)
(format "(load-module \"%s\")" (car module)))
modules
"\n")
#+end_src
#+RESULTS[20a1d5d9c6e0136d6a130b1c1b4bd4d742aead8a]: gen-load-modeline-modules
#+begin_src lisp
(load-module "battery-portable")
(load-module "cpu")
(load-module "mpd")
(load-module "mem")
#+end_src
We need to set some variables, so modules can be displayed correctly.
Note that the character between the font switchers in the second CPU
formatter is U+E082, which symbolizes the CPU.
#+begin_src lisp
(setf cpu::*cpu-modeline-fmt* "%c"
cpu::*cpu-usage-modeline-fmt* "^f2^f0^[~A~2D%^]"
mem::*mem-modeline-fmt* "%a%p"
mpd:*mpd-modeline-fmt* "%a - %t"
mpd:*mpd-status-fmt* "%a - %t"
,*hidden-window-color* "^**"
,*mode-line-highlight-template* "«~A»")
#+end_src
*** Generating the Mode-Line
We can indicate what to display in our modeline. Each formatter will
be separated by a Powerline separator with the code point ~0xE0B0~ in
the font I am using (see [[file:theme.md#fonts][Theme » Fonts]]).
#+name: modeline-format
#+caption: Formatters for the modeline
| Formatter | What it does | Command? |
|----------------+-------------------------------------------------------+----------|
| ~%g~ | Display list of groups | |
| ~%W~ | Display list of windows in the current group and head | |
| ~^>~ | Rest of the modeline align to the right | |
| ~docker-running~ | Display number of docker containers currently running | yes |
| ~mu-unread~ | Display number of unread emails | yes |
| ~%m~ | Display current MPD song | |
| ~%C~ | Display CPU usage | |
| ~%M~ | Display RAM usage | |
| ~%B~ | Display battery status | |
| ~%d~ | Display date | |
#+name: modeline-format-gen
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var elements=modeline-format :exports none
(mapcar (lambda (element)
(cons (format "\"%s\""
(string-replace (regexp-quote "~")
""
(car element)))
(string= "yes" (caddr element))))
elements)
#+end_src
#+RESULTS[4246baab1293d54bcd2223590f274152f24934c3]: modeline-format-gen

#+begin_src lisp :noweb yes
(defvar *mode-line-formatter-list*
'<<modeline-format-gen()>>
"List of formatters for the modeline.")
#+end_src
As you can see, ~generate-modeline~ generates the string defining
~*screen-mode-line-format*~ from the list of formatters we gave it with
the table [[modeline-format]].
#+begin_src lisp
(defun generate-modeline (elements &optional not-invertedp rightp)
"Generate a modeline for StumpWM.
ELEMENTS should be a list of `cons'es which `car' is the modeline
formatter or the shell command to run, and their `cdr' is either nil
when the `car' is a formatter and t when it is a shell command."
(when elements
(cons (format nil
" ^[~A^]^(:bg \"~A\") "
(format nil "^(:fg \"~A\")^(:bg \"~A\")^f1~A^f0"
(if (xor not-invertedp rightp) phundrak-nord1 phundrak-nord3)
(if (xor not-invertedp rightp) phundrak-nord3 phundrak-nord1)
(if rightp "" ""))
(if not-invertedp phundrak-nord3 phundrak-nord1))
(let* ((current-element (car elements))
(formatter (car current-element))
(commandp (cdr current-element)))
(cons (if commandp
`(:eval (run-shell-command ,formatter t))
(format nil "~A" formatter))
(generate-modeline (cdr elements)
(not not-invertedp)
(if (string= "^>" (caar elements)) t rightp)))))))
#+end_src
It is then easy to define a command that can call this function and
set this variable, so we can sort of reload the mode-line.
#+begin_src lisp
(defcommand reload-modeline () ()
"Reload modeline."
(sb-thread:make-thread
(lambda ()
(setf *screen-mode-line-format*
(cdr (generate-modeline *mode-line-formatter-list*))))))
#+end_src
And actually, lets reload the modeline immediately.
#+begin_src lisp
(reload-modeline)
#+end_src
*** TODO Investigate why ~stumptray~ acts up :noexport:
Systray overlaps with the far-right part of the modeline.
# Also, lets enable a system tray.
# #+begin_src lisp
# (load-module "stumptray")
# (stumptray::stumptray)
# #+end_src
# Dont forget to run src_lisp[:exports code]{(ql:quickload :xembed)} in
# ~sbcl~ at least once to install its dependencies.
