Shox: Terminal Status Bar
A customisable terminal status bar with universal shell/terminal compatibility. Currently works on Mac/Linux.
Installation
NOTEThis is still very experimental. I'm using it locally without any problems right now, but there's still a lot of testing and tweaking to do. Feel free to try it out, but get ready for some potential bugginess!
curl -s "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/liamg/shox/master/scripts/install.sh" | sudo bash
If you don't like to pipe to sudo - as well you shouldn't - you can remove the sudo
above, but you'll have to add the shox dir to your PATH
env var manually, as instructed by the installer.
Configuration
The shox config file should be created at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/shox/config.yaml
, which is usually ~/.config/shox/config.yaml
. You can alternatively create it at ~/.shox.yaml
The config file looks like the following:
shell: /bin/bash bar: format: "{time}||CPU: {cpu} MEM: {memory}" colours: bg: red fg: white padding: 0
Shox will use your SHELL
environment variable to determine the shell to run if a shell is not specified in the config file, but if your SHELL
is set to shox, it'll default to /bin/bash
to prevent a horrible recursive mess.
Bar Configuration
Bar configuration is done using a simple string format. Helpers are encased in braces e.g. {time}
, alignment is done using pipes (see below), and any other text will be written to the bar.
Alignment
You can use pipes to align content within the status bar. All content before the first pipe will be aligned to the left, all content between the first and second will be centre aligned, and all content after the second pipe will be right aligned.
For example, to display a bar that centre aligns the time, you could use |{time}|
Colours
The following colours are available: black
, white
, red
, green
, yellow
, blue
, magenta
, cyan
, darkgrey
, lightgrey
, lightred
, lightgreen
, lightyellow
, lightblue
, lightmagenta
, lightcyan
.
Helpers
Helpers create dynamic output in your status bar. You can use one by adding it to your bar format config. The following is a list of available helpers.
Helper | Description | Example Config | Example Output |
---|---|---|---|
time | Show current time | {time} | 11:58:17 |
cpu | Show current CPU usage | {cpu} | 20% |
memory | Show current memory usage % | {memory} | 20% |
battery | Show current battery charge % | {battery} | 20% |
bash | Run a custom bash command | {bash:echo hi} | hi |
Ideally this list would be much longer - please feel free to PR more helpers! You can see simple examples here .
Why?
I frequently needed a way to have a quick overview of several things without cramming them into my PS1, and to update those things dynamicly.
How does it work?
Shox sits between the terminal and your shell and proxies all data sent between them. It identifies ANSI commands which contain coordinates and dimensions and adjusts them accordingly, so that the status bar can be drawn efficiently without interfering with the shell and it's child programs.
