Yasb: Yet Another Status Bar

Yasb is a highly configurable and hackable taskbar written in python with Qt6. This project is still in (very) early development, and the number of available widgets are currently very limited.

The feature set stands as follows:

• Multiple taskbars for each screen
• Fully customisable user interface via CSS stylesheet
• Komorebi workspace navigation (very early development)
• Clock widgets with time-zone cycling and alternate label formatting
• Custom widgets capable of parsing/displaying content from command-line applications and on-click events

Configuration

All taskbars can be configured in a user-defined JSON config file config.json located in either of the following directories:

• C:/Users/{username}/.yasb/config.json
• /path/to/yasb/src/config.json

All taskbars can also be styled using a configurable stylesheet styles.css:

• C:/Users/{username}/.yasb/styles.css
• /path/to/yasb/src/styles.css

NOTE: If either of these configuration files are not present in the user's $HOME/.yasb directory (or if they contain errors), the default config and stylesheet will be loaded instead.

Development

Requirements

• Python 3.6 or above (3.9+ recommended)

Local setup

• Create a virtual python environment
• Enter the venv and pip install -r requirements.txt
• Configure styles.css and config.json accordingly
• Run main.py

Linting

To lint the project, simply run the following in the root source directory:

pip install pylama
python -m pylama        # or just `pylama`

• You can configure the linting tool via pylama.ini
• If you choose to contribute, please lint your code beforehand.
