Simple taskbar indicator for Unity inspired by AnyBar (basically it is a clone of AnyBar)
Tested on Ubuntu 20.20
pip3 install somebarto run somebar just execute in console
somebarsomebar is controlled via UDP port (1738 by default). Send it a message and it will change a color:
echo -n "black" | nc -4u -w0 localhost 1738Following commands change color:
white
red
orange
yellow
green
cyan
blue
purple
black
question
exclamation
And one special command forces somebar to quit: quit
You can run several instances of somebar as long as they listen on different ports. Use -p or --port command line argument to change port:
somebar -p 1738
somebar -p 1739
somebar -p 1740somebar can use user-local images if you put them under ~/.somebar or ~/.AnyBar. E.g. if you have ~/.AnyBar/square@2x.png present, send square to 1738 and it will be displayed.
