Why would I use succade + lemonbar over polybar or similar projects?

  • Separation of concerns (blocks produce information, lemonbar displays it, succade is the middleman)
  • Resource usage (succade and lemonbar should have a pretty small memory footprint)
  • Minimalism (if you don't need the additional features of other projects)

Can succade run multiple instances of lemonbar?

No and yes. A single instance of succade can only run one instance of lemonbar, but nothing keeps you from running multiple instances of succade, all with a different configuration file.

Will this work with the xft-fork of lemonbar?

I haven't tested it myself, but I don't see why it wouldn't. Feedback appreciated.

Will this work with ?

If that other bar uses the same interface as lemonbar (in other words, supports the same format specifier and command line arguments), then yes. Otherwise no.
