Clickeable bar - not just the text.

[zexa]

Hello,
I'm doing some work on my bar and I noticed that %{A:urxvt:}something%{A} only works when you click on the text and there's basically no way to make the whole bar or area click-able.
Could you please add a feature to make an area or the whole bar click-able?

P.s. A workaround for this is to center text with spaces through out the bar.

You can achieve this by adding spaces. %{A:urxvt:} %{A} will make an clickable area several spaces wide. My bar uses clickable underlined spaces.

edit: github seems to trim extra spaces. any number of whitespace characters can be placed between the command blocks

Isn't that just an incredibly goofy workaround?

It simply uses the very literal nature of bar. It also looks really nice

%{A:urxvt:}                                                                                        %{A}

doesn't look nice at all in my opinion.

I should have been more clear. Here's an example line from my bar scripts.

%{U$ACTIVE}%{A:bspc desktop -f $name:}%{+u}   %{A}%{-u}

My bar looks like this

The above line accounts for the workspace indicators in the center.

Let's keep #175 only for this.
