**Many, many thanks to all contributors! As of now, 20 of the modules are from various contributors (!), and only 16 from myself.**
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!
Supported Python versions: 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6
Explicitly unsupported Python versions: 3.2 (missing unicode literals)

# Installation
```
$ git clone git://github.com/tobi-wan-kenobi/bumblebee-status
```
# Usage
## Normal usage
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
```
Any parameter you can specify with `-p <name>=<value>`, you can alternatively specify in `~/.bumblebee-status.conf` or `~/.config/bumblebee-status.conf`. This parameters act as a **fallback**, so value specified with `-p` have priority.
Configuration files have a format like this:
```
$ cat ~/.bumblebee-status.conf
[module-parameters]
<key> = <value>
```
For example:
```
$ cat ~/.bumblebee-status.conf
[module-parameters]
github.token=abcdefabcdef12345
```
To change the update interval, use:
```
$ ./bumblebee-status -m <list of modules> -p interval=<interval in seconds>
```
As a simple example, this is what my i3 configuration looks like:
```
bar {
font pango:Inconsolata 10
position top
tray_output none
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
}
```
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 `~/bumblebee-status-debug.log` by default. The file name can be changed by using the `-f` or `--logfile` option.

# Examples
Here are some screenshots for all themes that currently exist:
:exclamation: Some themes (all 'Powerline' themes) require [Font Awesome](http://fontawesome.io/) and a powerline-compatible font ([powerline-fonts](https://github.com/powerline/fonts), for example) to display all icons correctly.
