Share your custom widgets

[nikth0]

Just as the name suggests. I'm interested to see how you guys create your own widgets. Let's share

Hi @nikitathomas342! I converted your issue into a discussion as it is more exchange about the project than an issue.

On my end I'm simply using 2 custom widgets:

• A slack message indicator
• A switch between my personal and pro ssh keys

Slack

simple-bar configuration

slack.zsh

STATUS_LABEL=$(lsappinfo info -only StatusLabel "Slack")

if [[ $STATUS_LABEL =~ \"label\"=\"([^\"]*)\" ]]; then
    LABEL="${BASH_REMATCH[1]}"
    COUNT=""

    if [[ $LABEL == "" ]]; then
        COUNT="-"
    elif [[ $LABEL == "•" ]]; then
        COUNT=$LABEL
    elif [[ $LABEL =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]]; then
        COUNT="$LABEL"
    fi

    echo "$COUNT"
else
  echo "-"
fi

Output

No message/not started

I got this script from the Sketchy Bar github discussion section and I adapted it to suits my needs.

SSH key switch

I'm not exposing this script here but this is a simple script that toggle the content of my ~/.ssh/config file.
