"github_readme_excerpt": "# AnyBar: OS X menubar status indicator\n\nAnyBar is a small indicator for your menubar that does one simple thing: it displays a colored dot. What the dot means and when to change it is up to you.\n\n\u003cimg src=\"screenshot.png?raw=true\" /\u003e\n\n## Download\n\nVersion 0.2.3:\n\n\u003ca href=\"https://github.com/tonsky/AnyBar/releases/download/0.2.3/AnyBar-0.2.3.zip\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"AnyBar/Images.xcassets/AppIcon.appiconset/icon_128x128@2x.png?raw=true\" style=\"width: 128px;\" width=128/\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n\nOr using [Homebrew Cask](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask):\n\n brew install --cask anybar\n \n## Usage\n\nAnyBar is controlled via a UDP port (1738 by default). Before any commands can be sent, AnyBar.app must be launched:\n\n```sh\nopen -a AnyBar\n```\n\nOnce launched, you may send it a message to change the style of the dot:\n\n```sh\necho -n \"black\" | nc -4u -w0 localhost 1738\n```\n\nIf you use bash, you might prefer this instead:\n\n```sh\nbash -c \u0027echo -n \"black\" \u003e /dev/udp/localhost/1738\u0027\n```\n\nThe following default commands change the style of the dot:\n\n| Command | Preview |\n|---------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| `white` | \u003cimg src=\"AnyBar/Resources/white@2x.png?raw=true\" width=15 /\u003e |\n| `red` | \u003cimg src=\"AnyBar/Resources/red@2x.png?raw=true\" width=15 /\u003e |\n| `orange` | \u003cimg src=\"AnyBar/Resources/orange@2x.png?raw=true\" width=15 /\u003e |\n| `yellow` | \u003cimg src=\"AnyBar/Resources/yellow@2x.png?raw=true\" width=15 /\u003e |\n| `green` | \u003cimg src=\"AnyBar/Resources/green@2x.png?raw=true\" width=15 /\u003e |\n| `cyan` | \u003cimg src=\"AnyBar/Resources/cyan@2x.png?raw=true\" width=15 /\u003e |\n| `blue` | \u003cimg src=\"AnyBar/Resources/blue@2x.png?raw=true\" width=15 /\u003e |\n| `purple` | \u003cimg src=\"AnyBar/Resources/purple@2x.png?raw=true\" width=15 /\u003e |\n| `black` | \u003cimg src=\"AnyBar/Resources/black@2x.png?raw=true\" width=15 /\u003e |\n",
