Introduction
================
Installation
----------------
.. code-block:: bash
# from git (development snapshot)
$ git clone git://github.com/tobi-wan-kenobi/bumblebee-status
# from AUR:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/bumblebee-status.git
cd bumblebee-status
makepkg -sicr
# from PyPI (thanks @tony):
# will install bumblebee-status into ~/.local/bin/bumblebee-status
pip install --user bumblebee-status
Dependencies
------------
:doc:`development/module` lists the dependencies
(Python modules and external executables) for each module. If you are
not using a module, you dont need the dependencies.
Usage
------------
Normal usage
~~~~~~~~~~~~
In your i3wm configuration, modify the *status_command* for your i3bar
like this:
.. code-block:: bash
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 their parameters) and themes by
entering:
.. code-block:: bash
$ cd bumblebee-status
$ ./bumblebee-status -l themes
$ ./bumblebee-status -l modules
To change the update interval, use:
.. code-block:: bash
$ ./bumblebee-status -m <list of modules> -p interval=<interval in seconds>
The update interval can also be changed on a per-module basis, like
this:
.. code-block:: bash
$ ./bumblebee-status -m cpu memory -p cpu.interval=5s memory.interval=1m
All modules can be given “aliases” using ``<module name>:<alias>``, by
which they can be parametrized, for example:
.. code-block:: bash
$ ./bumblebee-status -m disk:root disk:home -p root.path=/ home.path=/home
As a simple example, this is what my i3 configuration looks like:
.. code-block:: bash
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 - thats it!
