![Solarized Powerline](https://github.com/tobi-wan-kenobi/bumblebee-status/blob/master/screenshots/themes/powerline-solarized.png)
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...)
* Ease of use
* Support for easily adding custom themes
* Support for easily adding custom modules
One thing I like in particular: You can use the mouse wheel up/down to switch workspaces forward and back everywhere throughout the bar (unless you have mapped the mouse wheel buttons to another action for a widget, in which case this doesn't work while hovering that particular widget).
I hope you like it and appreciate any kind of feedback: Bug reports, Feature requests, etc. :)

Thanks a lot!
Required i3wm version: 4.12+ (in earlier versions, blocks won't have background colors)
Supported Python versions: 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6
Supported Python versions: 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8
Supported FontAwesome version: 4 (free version of 5 doesn't include some of the icons)
Explicitly unsupported Python versions: 3.2 (missing unicode literals)
:information_source: The ![Font Awesome](https://fontawesome.com/) is required for all themes that contain icons (because that is the font that includes these icons). Please refer to your distribution's package management on how to install them, or get them from their website directly. Also, please note that Font Awesome removed some icons used by `bumblebee-status` from the free set in version 5, so if possible, stick with 4.

# Usage
@ -178,115 +158,12 @@ If errors occur, you should see them in the i3bar itself. If that does not work,
$ ./bumblebee-status -d -m <list of modules>
```
This will create a file called `~/bumblebee-status-debug.log` by default. The file name can be changed by using the `-f` or `--logfile` option.
This will log to stderr, so unless you are running `bumblebee-status` interactively in the CLI, you'll need to redirect stderr to some file (i.e. `bumblebee-status <parameters> 2> error.log`).
### Advanced Usage
If you want to have a minimal bar that stays out of the way, you can use the `-a` or `--autohide` switch to specify a list of module names. All those modules will only be displayed when (and as long as) their state is either warning or critical (high CPU usage, low disk space, etc.). As long as the module is in a "normal" state and does not require attention, it will remain hidden.
Note that this parameter is specified *in addition* to `-m` (i.e. to autohide the CPU module, you would use `bumblebee-status -m cpu memory traffic -a cpu`).
# Required Modules

# Examples
Here are some screenshots for all themes that currently exist:

## My bar doesn't show any background colors
Please check that you are using i3wm 4.12 or later. Before that, i3wm didn't have background color support for the status bar.
## Some of the icons don't render correctly
Please check that you have ![Font Awesome](https://fontawesome.com/) installed (version 4).
