+# xmonad-log
+
+xmonad-log is a DBus monitoring solution that can easily be used to display
+xmonad in a statusbar like [polybar](https://github.com/jaagr/polybar),
+[lemonbar](https://github.com/LemonBoy/bar) and similar.
+
+## Installation
+
+xmonad-log is written in Go with one dependency:
+[dbus](https://github.com/godbus/dbus). [Binary
+packages](https://github.com/xintron/xmonad-log/releases) are available.
+
+### Building from source
+
+This package has been tested with Go 1.7 and above.
+
+To build from source:
+ 1. Clone this repository into `$GOPATH/src/github.com/xintron/xmonad-log`.
+ 2. Build it within the directory with `go build`.
+
+This should leave a `xmonad-log` binary in the directory. Move this to an
+appropriate directory in your `$PATH`.
+
+## Configure xmonad
+
+To configure xmonad to send log events over DBus the haskell
+[dbus](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/dbus) package is required. Once
+installed the following can be added to your `.xmonad/xmonad.hs` configuration
+to add DBus support.
+
+```haskell
+import XMonad
+import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog
+
+import qualified DBus as D
+import qualified DBus.Client as D
+
+main :: IO ()
+main = do
+    dbus <- D.connectSession
+    -- Request access to the DBus name
+    D.requestName dbus (D.busName_ "org.xmonad.Log")
+        [D.nameAllowReplacement, D.nameReplaceExisting, D.nameDoNotQueue]
+
+    xmonad $ def { logHook = dynamicLogWithPP (myLogHook dbus) }
+
+-- Override the PP values as you would otherwise, adding colors etc depending
+-- on  the statusbar used
+myLogHook :: D.Client -> PP
+myLogHook dbus = def { ppOutput = dbusOutput dbus }
+
+-- Emit a DBus signal on log updates
+dbusOutput :: D.Client -> String -> IO ()
+dbusOutput dbus str = do
+    let signal = (D.signal objectPath interfaceName memberName) {
+            D.signalBody = [D.toVariant $ UTF8.decodeString str]
+        }
+    D.emit dbus signal
+  where
+    objectPath = D.objectPath_ "/org/xmonad/Log"
+    interfaceName = D.interfaceName_ "org.xmonad.Log"
+    memberName = D.memberName_ "Update"
+```

+for a fully working polybar example using statusbar coloring.
