Please add splitstatus patch

[plasmoduck]

Hi, could you please add the splitstatus patch

[bakkeby]

Wouldn't you just use extrastatus for this?

As an example I think you'd reproduce the splitstatus patch with rules like these:

static const BarRule barrules[] = {
	/* monitor   bar    alignment         widthfunc                drawfunc                clickfunc                name */
	{ -1,        0,     BAR_ALIGN_LEFT,   width_tags,              draw_tags,              click_tags,              "tags" },
	{ -1,        0,     BAR_ALIGN_LEFT,   width_ltsymbol,          draw_ltsymbol,          click_ltsymbol,          "layout" },
	{ 'A',       0,     BAR_ALIGN_RIGHT,  width_status,            draw_status,            click_status,            "status" },
	{ 'A',       0,     BAR_ALIGN_CENTER, width_status_es,         draw_status_es,         click_status,            "status_es" },
};

Perhaps, its to get the date in the center of the bar. How would I do that with extrastatus?

The splitstatus uses a semicolon to separate the statuses. It is merely based on the dualstatus and extrabar patches.

I guess you'd just run something like this.

$ xsetroot -name "right status;$(date +%F\ %T)"

I works, but the extra status is in the center on the bottom of my screen instead of in the center of the bar

In the bar rules set the bar index to 0 for the extra status to have it on the primary bar.

	/* monitor   bar    alignment         widthfunc                drawfunc                clickfunc                name */
	{ 'A',       0,     BAR_ALIGN_CENTER, width_status_es,         draw_status_es,         click_status,            "status_es" },
