bumblebee-status is a modular, theme-able status line generator for the [i3 window manager ](https://i3wm.org/ ).
Focus is on:
* Ease of use (no configuration files!)
* Theme support
* Extensibility (of course...)
I hope you like it and appreciate any kind of feedback: Bug reports, Feature requests, etc. :)
Thanks a lot!

# Installation

```

## Normal usage
2016-12-10 20:05:02 +01:00
Next, open your i3wm configuration and modify the *status_command* for your i3bar like this:
```
bar {
status_command = < path to bumblebee-status / bumblebee-status > -m < list of modules > -p < list of module parameters > -t < theme >
}
```
You can retrieve a list of modules and themes by entering:
```
$ cd bumblebee-status
$ ./bumblebee-status -l themes
$ ./bumblebee-status -l modules
```

To change the update interval, use:
```
$ ./bumblebee-status -m < list of modules > -p interval=< interval in seconds >
```
2016-12-10 20:05:02 +01:00
As a simple example, this is what my i3 configuration looks like:
```
bar {
font pango:Inconsolata 10
position top
tray_output none
2016-12-11 13:12:22 +01:00
status_command ~/.i3/bumblebee-status/bumblebee-status -m nic disk:root cpu memory battery date time pasink pasource dnf -p root.path=/ time.format="%H:%M CW %V" date.format="%a, %b %d %Y" -t solarized-powerline
2016-12-10 20:05:02 +01:00
}
```
Restart i3wm and - that's it!

## Errors
If errors occur, you should see them in the i3bar itself. If that does not work, or you need more information for troubleshooting, you can activate a debug log using the `-d` or `--debug` switch:
```
$ ./bumblebee-status -d -m < list of modules >
```
This will create a file called `debug.log` in the same directory as the executable `bumblebee-status` .
