polybar installation [Solved]

[fasterfaster]

Polybar's not in the MX repo because nobody's asked for it.

May you please introduce Polybar into the MX repo?

I think a lot more people would ask if they knew it would have some chance of being introduced, a lot of people just give up if they don't see it there.

Polybar was one of the reasons why I toyed around with... another distro's openbox community edition. But I can never leave Debian / worthwhile Debian based distros.

It is really trivial to install... here's a wonderful guide:

btw. I am currently experimenting with i3wm & bspwm (on both antiX & MX). FWIW I'll publish what I learn.

Thanks @Stevo & @manyroads for this thread and your efforts. I LOVE Polybar; always use it on Openbox installs. This will go great with my Antix Fluxbox installs I hope?!

Thanks again, manyroads! I look forward to reading about your experiments!

The current polybar 3.3.1 is now in the MX 17 test repository.
