✨ NAME ✨

bevelbar-widget-empty β€” literally just shows an empty segment in bevelbar. That's it. That's the whole job. no cap. 🫢


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bevelbar-widget-empty [monitor]

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

okay so here's the vibe: you can use this program like any other bevelbar(1) widget. it does absolutely nothing except show an empty segment. it's giving "I'm here for moral support" energy and honestly? iconic. πŸ‘‘

The options are as follows:

  • monitor β€” if you set this, the empty segment will only show up on this monitor. like, it stays in its own lane. main character energy, but localized. πŸ¦‹

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

the whole idea is that you launch bevelbar-widget-empty as a widget inside of bevelbar(1), like so:

#!/bin/sh
bevelbar ... 'some_widget' 'bevelbar-widget-empty' 'another_one'

see how it's just chilling between 'some_widget' and 'another_one'? that's the whole flex. ✨
