Example configs? about taffybar

[travitch]

I'll try to add more examples.

To help more immediately with the battery widget issue, try something like:

main = do
  let battWid = batteryBarNew defaultBatteryConfig 30
  defaultTaffybar defaultTaffybarConfig { startWidgets = [battWid], barHeight = 25 }

Tristan, thanks, that's a huge help. Once I figure things out a bit more
I'm happy to help contribute to documentation (if that helps).

Tristan,

That battery config sample results in the following error. I'm not a total hs noob but neither am I proficient, so I would not be surprised if this is some trivial mistake on my end. Regardless, I thought I'd pass this along. My taffybar.hs is available at https://github.com/altercation/es-etc/blob/master/xmonad/taffybar/taffybar.hs

Error follows:

Configuration '/home/es/.config/taffybar/taffybar.hs' changed. Recompiling.
Program reconfiguration successful.
Launching custom binary /home/es/.cache/taffybar/taffybar-linux-x86_64

taffybar-linux-x86_64: connect: does not exist (No such file or directory)

The config works fine with the battery elements removed. I did also try the text only battery widget, same result.

As a first guess, does your distro provide the upower daemon? The
battery widget is currently written in terms of that because I didn't
want to implement the /proc parsing myself. It seems plausible that
the error could be coming from dbus when it tries to connect.

If your distro provides it but does not install it by default, you
might try to install it. If you don't have the upower daemon
available, I wouldn't expect it to work (I could throw together a
version that doesn't require the daemon).

Tristan, it does and I had previously installed it, but you nailed it.
Bisecting a driver regression today and I reinstalled this test machine and
my install script doesn't handle upower. I'll work on the dbus/upower end
of things and I'm sure that will solve this issue. Thanks for the pointer.

Confirmed, working great. Thanks. Closing this.
