Don't create window with polybar -s

[eadwu]

Is there any way I can remove the empty window or maybe set monitor to null? Trying to get the output onto xsetroot -name for dwm. Besides the window, polybar adds %{r} to the beginning and module/alsa outputs %{A1:volmute: A4:volup: A6:voldown:} ... %{A A A} which isn't really desired for the statusbar (or at least for me). For the text, manipulating it with sed and cut is working fine though the window is the problem.

Looks like polybar -s does its intended behavior as it only says it won't draw it to the window. So my question is better worded as is there a way to prevent the window from being created while using polybar -s.

There isn't a way to do that right now.

Just curious, why are you using polybar as a text output rather than a complete bar?

Since dwmstatus reads from stdout while I don't seem be able to get xworkspaces to work.

Sorry for the late response, the commit does stop the window from being created but at the same time, nothing is being outputted to stdout (https://imgur.com/t6uj8vB). The vim command was just to add a value to monitor for whatever reason I thought it would allow it to output, which it of course didn't.

Just tested it and it works, thanks! I'll leave this open until the pull request is merged.
