This is part 3 of 3 about how to set up colors and fonts using .Xresourcess and syncing the settings in multiple applications.
In this video I apply the settings to polybar.
I have more videos about polybar, a good one to start with is:
#010: polybar setup
• Let's Linux #010: Polybar setup
I filed an issue regarding fontsetting in polybar here:

mondo
These poison videos, inspired me to create my own theme manager called: mondo . By using mondo the processes shown in these videos can be done in a much more sober way, with more control and more flexibility!
You can find mondo on github:

.Xresources syntax
include file (OBS! quotes are important):
#include "RELATIVE_PATH"
define variable:
#define VARIABLE VALUE
custom resource:
name.class.resource: value/variable
-------------------------------
on startup
shell
load .Xresources in ~/.xinitrc (recommended):
[[ -f ~/.Xresources ]] \
&& xrdb -merge -I$HOME ~/.Xresources
#load .Xresources in ~/.config/i3/config:
set $HOME ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_HOMEFOLDER
exec --no-startup-id \
xrdb -merge -I$HOME ~/.Xresources
exec --no-startup-id exec i3-msg -q restart
If you have to load from i3 it's best to use
reloader script instead.
-------------------------------
useful commands
shell
merge new changes:
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
replace .Xresources
xrdb -load ~/.Xresources
list current settings in .Xresources:
xrdb -query
list installed fonts:
fc-list grep FONTNAME
instant font test:
printf '\e]710;%s\007' "xft:FONT"
try using this font setting
:antialias=false
-------------------------------
get resources
shell
use resource in i3:
set_from_resource $VARIABLE XRESOURCE DEFAULT_VALUE
use xresource in polybar:
VARNAME = ${xrdb:XRESOURCE:DEFAULT}
get xresource from script
VAR=$(xrdb -query awk '$1 ~ XRESOURCE":" {print $2}')

lolban is the output of figlet piped through lolcat. I have a video where i show how it works. That video is called: Let's Linux #009: Automatic script creation, and can be found here: • Let's Linux #009: Automatic script creation
The figlet font used with lolban is created by xero. It is called: 3d.flf
