Polybar - Adding a Menu and a Minimization Module

I love Polybar because it's simple to configure and really great results can be achieved with minimal effort. That's why it was my bar of choice when it came to customising my Fluxbox installation.

However, out of the box it doesn't offer modules that allow you to minimise windows to the bar, or to add a drop-down menu.

Luckily this is all easily achievable using a custom script called polywins along with some xdotool jiggary-pokery.

In this video I take you through how I achieved what I believe to be a very good result.

I hope you enjoy the video :-)

For those interested in using the polywins script it can be found here: https://github.com/tam-carre/polywins
