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!
