Ubersicht-BetterBar-widget

The original is by Herrbischoff - Check it out!

This is my betterbar widget pack cobbled together from a lot of other widgets and lovingly assembled by me. It's made for Übersicht and displays a lot of information in a compact bar.

Installation

Place "Betterbar-master" in the Übersicht Widget Directory or if you want to only install one or a few of the widgets, just remove them from "Betterbar-master" and put them in the Widget Directory.

This bar also pairs pretty well with kwm.

So what can each widget do?

- background.coffee

This is simply the dark bar going across the screen - this is identical to the one found in nerdbar

- battery.coffee

This is the battery widget. It will display the percentage of charge your MacBook has left and has a little visual indicator for how much charge is left i.e. the battery icon slowly empties and at critical battery it will turn red. Along with this - when your battery is on charge it will change to a blue charging icon to let you know.

The code for this widget is made from multiple others - the first being the one included in Herrbischoff's bar, then the colours and icon from Apierz' bar and finally the charging state function was found in bcseda's BatteryCharge Widget.

- date.coffee/time.coffee

Pretty self explanatory, shows the time and date along with cute little icons.

- mail.coffee/reminders.coffee

These will show you how many reminders and emails you have that are uncompleted/unread - at the moment they only work with the default reminders.app and mail.app.

- spotify.coffee

Shows the current playing song on Spotify - can be adjusted to also work with other music players but not in a very user-friendly way.

Thanks to levifig for their spotify widget here which I used some of the code from to create this widget.

- weather.coffee

This shows the current weather according to your location - this is near enough a direct copy of the one Apierz made here (Go check out their version of this bar, it's what partially inspired me to create this one!) - It's just changed to use celcius instead of fahrenheit. <br> You will need to go to that repository in order to get the python script for getting the weather.

- morning.coffee

This is just a friendly little widget that says good morning/afternoon/evening to you and says your name (provdied you enter it - otherwise it'll say my name).

This widget is derived from the Morning widget by imRohan.

To do

• Make improvements to the morning.coffee widget
• Add launch functionality by clicking icons
• Create imessage widget to display unread messages

I use Hack typeface for the main text using Osaka-Mono.<br> FontAwesome for the icons and All-the-icons for the weather icons.<br> (You'll need these installed for stuff to work).
