TUI configuration tool for the strip status bar (part of the tile WM project), built on crust. Reorder, toggle and edit your asmite-driven status segments without ever opening ~/.striprc in a text editor.

• Bar globals: height, top_offset, bg, fg, gap (and the advanced font / char_width / baseline overrides)
• Segment editor for the ordered list of bar entries:
  • Reorder with Shift-J / Shift-K (left-of-bar = top-of-list)
  • Toggle on/off with t (disabled segments persist as # segment …)
  • add a new segment / delete the selected one
  • Edit name, extra-gap (+N), per-segment color, command and refresh interval via guided prompts
• Live colour swatches for bg, fg and per-segment colours
• Reads & writes ~/.striprc directly — preserves your inline comments and groups them with the segment they precede
• Atomic save: writes ~/.striprc.tmp, renames the previous file to ~/.striprc.bak, then promotes the new file into place. Even a hard kill mid-save can never leave you with an empty config
• After save, optionally restarts strip in-place (pkill -x strip + setsid strip, so the new bar survives stripconf exit)

cargo build --release

The binary lands at target/release/stripconf. Symlink or copy it into your PATH:

ln -sf $PWD/target/release/stripconf ~/bin/stripconf

height     = 22                # bar height (px)
top_offset = 0                 # vertical offset from top
bg         = #000000
fg         = #cccccc
gap        = 8                 # default gap between segments
font       = -*-fixed-*-*      # optional X core font override
char_width = 0                 # 0 = default
baseline   = 0                 # 0 = default

# segment NAME [+EXTRA_GAP] [#RRGGBB] CMD [args...] [INTERVAL_S]
segment time     +16 #ffffff /home/geir/.../clock           1
segment cpu          #aaaaaa /home/geir/.../cpu             4
# segment dnd      #ffffff /home/geir/.../dnd-indicator     5    # disabled

A trailing decimal integer on a segment line (preceded by whitespace) is parsed as the refresh interval in seconds. Omit it for static segments. Lines starting with # segment … are recognised as disabled segments — toggling with t preserves them in place.

If you ever do manage to end up with a broken ~/.striprc, the previous good copy is one rename away:

mv ~/.striprc.bak ~/.striprc

(stripconf only writes .bak after a successful .tmp write, so this file is always either the previous saved state or absent.)
