Is it possible to change the BarColumn display style?

[roger-davila]

My question is partly answered by this issue #2399, but I was wondering if it's possible to change the actual bar to use characters instead. Something like this [=====| ] 100%? Of course, I can make my own, but is this already possible with Rich out of the box? Thank you!

Nothing builtin, but you could create a renderable and use it in place of the default bar in progress.

@willmcgugan, thanks for the reply! That makes perfect sense. I'll go this route and spin up a custom bar renderable.

Also, I've been enjoying working with rich. Appreciate the work on this awesome library.

Sorry to reply to a year-old comment, but, did you have a good solution for this? I've been digging around for a way to change how the bar looks for almost this exact purpose (having the = segments) and I haven't quite wrapped my head around how to go about doing it.
