Mowedline
=========

Mowedline is a status bar program for X, written in [Chicken
Scheme](http://www.call-cc.org/) with XLib, Xft, and DBus.  It was
inspired by [dzen2](https://github.com/robm/dzen), and like
that program, aims at an unobtrusive, minimalist look.  It is based on a
client/daemon design, where the daemon maintains one or more windows, and
the client sends commands to the daemon over DBus to update the contents
of those windows.  A mowedline window is divided into widgets.  Each
widget has a unique name, by which the client can refer to it to update
its contents.
