Tobias Witek 4e648cf009 [modules] Add module-specific configuration
Big oversight in my previous commits: Widgets need to be able to have
specific configurations (i.e. the path for different instances of the
"disk" module has to be different).

To account for that, it is now possible to assign an "alias" to a module
instance using ":" (for example: -m "disk:home"). This alias is then
used for the configuration parameter resolution automatically, for
example:

-m disk:home -p home.path=/home

As a consequence, parameter names in the module code are now relative to
the module, which means: shorter!

bumblebee-status

bumblebee-status is a modular, theme-able status line generator for the i3 window manager.

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> -t <theme>
}

You can retrieve a list of modules and themes by entering:

$ cd bumblebee-status
$ ./bumblebee-status -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/bumblebee-status/bumblebee-status -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!
