Lacking crucial features about gbar HOT 8 OPEN

My bad, I forgot that. Should be fixed with f78758c.
By the way, you should probably disable CenterTime with the bar on the side, because the bar tends to glitch out when there isn't enough space for it.

Should now work with c12bef2

1. Cannot to remove widgets
2. Cannot reposition widgets

I've had those features in mind for a long time, but it has been always hindered by 2 things:

• The configuration format is not designed for such a level of configuration and hacking it in would be relatively difficult. If you have any ideas for an example configuration format, which ideally abides by the [variable]: [value] format, let me know. (Major issue)
• The margins are designed with the specific order made in mind. Allowing reorders could break that. (Minor issue)

If you really want to modify the order of things, you can make a plugin for that by copying src/Bar.cpp into e.g. example, adding DEFINE_PLUGIN(Create), modifying the order of the AddChild calls and then building it as a plugin as outlined in the README. Please note though, that you may need to rebuild/remodify the plugin with every gBar update.

3. Network manager applet not visible in the tray

Do you mean nm-applet --indicator? That should be fixed with the commit I just pushed (18f3e12)

4. Cannot change bar position on screen(top/left/bottom/right)

I'll be working on that.

I don't know how this file format is parsed but if reordering the widgets is a problem then at least the user should have the ability to decide on which side of the statusbar they need the widget to be and if they even want it. This could be done using tables:

[left]
memory = false # widget invisible
time = true # widget visible

[center]
....
[right]
...

Apologies for the long delay. Anyways, point 4 is now implemented and merged.

Changing the Location of gBar doesn't rotate the systray. It makes the bar look thicker:

And also the icons appear rotated.

also, the bluetooth menu isn't repositioned with the bar location

from gbar.

Reordering symbols and widgets is now implemented. The three options WidgetsLeft, WidgetsCenter and WidgetsRight control the layout. If you find any margin/layout issues, please notify me.
