# all of the calculations are done using unix timestamps from date(1)

# mac uses bsd's date(1)
# whenever we set a date, make sure to add -j so it doesn't change the clock

# we use `date -j %m%d0000 +%s` to get the start timestamp, %Y is implied
# then we use `date -jr $start -v +1y/+1m/+1d +%s` to get the ending timestamp
# then we calculate the percentage with (now - start) / (end - start)

I hope I'm not being too picky but the text isn't centred vertically. Is there a way to fix this?

Hi, @rhys-saldanha sorry for the late reply, it bothered me too.
It's because the font size was 10, I added a revision with size=12 appended to Line 77, which fixes it.

This is what you use for Line 77 if you don't want the YY-MM-DD in front:

echo "$(round $d_progress)% | $bitbar size=12"

You can use $m_progress or $Y_progress instead off $d_progress if you would prefer the percentage of month or year.

Hey @aurorabbit, is there a reason the colour in line 15 is set to #ffffff? This was invisible (understandably) until I clicked on it. Changing to #000000 renders properly.
