Signals polybar
to reload when screen resolution has changed. Especially useful
when running in a vm, when screen resizes can occur often.
Currently supports one screen.
Enable interprocess communication for each bar you would like to reload:
Edit ~/.config/polybar/config
:
[bar/myBar1]
enable-ipc = true
...
[bar/myBar2]
enable-ipc = true
Install polybar-reload
via pip:
pip install --user polybar-reload
Run polybar-reload
. This can be done in a number of places. If you don't use
any of the tools mentioned below, you can run polybar-reload
in whatever script
you use to start polybar.
Add the following to your ~/.config/i3/config
exec_always --no-startup-id ~/.local/bin/polybar-reload
This will load polybar on startup, but not on "reload i3" (commonly bound to Mod+Shift+r)
pip install --upgrade --user polybar-reload
If polybar-reload
doesn't update to the newest version you can uninstall and reinstall.
Make sure to bypass local cache.
pip uninstall polybar-reload && pip install --user --no-cache-dir polybar-reload
