pecan

A bar for macOS. Reports — by default — the current workspace, cpu load, network bandwidth, date, battery percentage and time.

Instructions

pecan requires Übersicht.

Once Übersicht is installed, download this repository to wherever your widgets are stored (by default ~/Library/Application Support/Übersicht/widgets/).

This can be done via the terminal like so:

brew tap caskroom/cask
brew cask install ubersicht
git clone https://github.com/zzzeyez/pecan.git "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Übersicht/widgets/pecan"

If Übersicht is running, then the bar should appear.

Customization & Themes

If wal is installed then pecan will grab it's colors from that by default. To further edit the appearance you can edit a config at ~/.config/pecan.css – the included config.css can be placed there to discover options.

mv "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Übersicht/widgets/pecan/config.css" "${HOME}/.config/pecan.css"

Optional features

Ifstat

Current download and upload speeds may be shown in the 2nd-to-left element via Ifstat. If Ifstat is not found, then the current WiFi network will be displayed instead. To install Ifstat via Homebrew:

brew install ifstat

Yabai

Current workspace ID can be shown on the left element if Yabai is installed, otherwise a power symbol will be shown instead. To install Yabai:

brew install yabai

xanthia

If xanthia is installed then it will now use pecan's config. Install xanthia.
