# bumblebee-status

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
```
$ git clone git://github.com/tobi-wan-kenobi/bumblebee-status
```

# 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
```

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:/ cpu memory battery date time pasink pasource dnf -p time.format="%H:%M CW %V" date.format="%a, %b %d %Y" -t solarized-powerline
}

```


Restart i3wm and - that's it!
