Hi José,
Excerpts from José Luis Pereira's message of 2012-03-18 14:34:43 +0100:
Thanks for your anwer. I would like to implement the feature, i have fairly
Awesome!
good C knowledge for this. Would you give me some guidelines?
I have been looking into the code and i found out that the modification
should be in xbc.c on i3bar source, am i right?
Yes, partly:
Since i3bar uses IPC and doesn’t query RandR directly, I recommend introducing
a new boolean member in the IPC reply for the get_outputs message (see i3-msg
-t get_outputs), called "primary". Then, make i3bar handle "primary" as a
special value (case-insensitively) in i3bar/src/xcb.c.
Feel free to send patches to this mailing list for review and feel free to drop
by on IRC to clarify any questions you might have.
Best regards,
Michael
