# i3bumblebee
Small, humble tool for displaying system information in the i3bar
i3bumblebee is a modular, theme-able status line generator for the [i3 window manager](https://i3wm.org/).
# Documentation
See [the wiki](https://github.com/tobi-wan-kenobi/i3bumblebee/wiki) for documentation.

* A list of [available modules](https://github.com/tobi-wan-kenobi/i3bumblebee/wiki/Available-Modules)

# Installation
```
$ git clone git://github.com/tobi-wan-kenobi/i3bumblebee
```
# Usage
Next, open your i3wm configuration and modify the *status_command* for your i3bar like this:
```
bar {
status_command = <path to i3bumblebee/i3bumblebee> -m <list of modules> -t <theme>
}
```
You can retrieve a list of modules and themes by entering:
```
$ cd i3bumblebee
$ ./i3bumblebee -l
```
As a simple example, this is what my i3 configuration looks like:
```
bar {
font pango:Inconsolata 10
position top
tray_output none
status_command ~/src/i3bumblebee/i3bumblebee -m disk disk::/home nic cpu memory battery date::"%a, %b %d %Y" spacer time::"%H:%M CW %V" pasink pasource dnf -t solarized-powerline
}
```
Restart i3wm and - that's it!
