**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...)
|
|
|
|
One thing I like in particular: You can use the mouse wheel up/down to switch workspaces forward and back everywhere throughout the bar (unless you have mapped the mouse wheel buttons to another action for a widget, in which case this doesn't work while hovering that particular widget).
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
## 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.
