Sorry I paste the wrong version of my .xmobarrc, I do have it in my
template ..

Config { font = "xft:Wenquanyi Bitmap Song:pixelsize=12"
                    ...
                    , Run PipeReader "/dev/shm/lrcfifo" "lrc"
                    ]
       , sepChar = "%"
       , alignSep = "}{"
       , template = "%StdinReader% }{ %lrc% <fc=#8ae234>%Mail%</fc> %cpu% %memory% %eth0|wlan0% %battery% [%vol%] %date%"
       }

Thanks,
Jan
