A python script to easily configure lemonbar.
## Installation
To install the latest release:
```sh
git clone --depth 1 --branch latest https://git.noahsw.xyz/noah/easyconf-lemonbar.git
cd easyconf-lemonbar
sudo sh install.sh
```
## Configuration and Usage
### Config File
After installing, you will need to copy the example config file to your
XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
```sh
cp /usr/local/share/doc/easyconf-lemonbar/example_config.yml ${HOME}/.config/easyconf-lemonbar.yml
```
This example file is very heavily commented. Almost all the info you will need
is contained in the file.
### Signals
You may update individual modules by sending a real-time signal to the
easyconf-lemonbar process. First, in the module configuration, specify which

$ eclb_kill -RTMIN+1

This will refresh the module that is listening for signal `1`. To kill eclb
