DESCRIPTION

44       yambar is a lightweight and configurable status panel (bar, for short)
45       for X11 and Wayland.
46
47       It has a number of modules that provide information in the form of
48       tags. For example, the clock module has a date tag that contains the
49       current date.
50
51       The modules do not know how to present the information though. This is
52       instead done by particles. And the user, you, decides which particles
53       (and thus how to present the data) to use.
54
55       Furthermore, each particle can have a decoration. These are things like
56       a different background, or an graphical underline.
57
58       There is no support for images or icons. use an icon font (e.g. Font
59       Awesome, or Material Icons) if you want a graphical representation.
60
61       There are a number of modules and particles builtin. More can be added
62       as plugins. You can even write your own!
