cdmbar for i3wm

i3bar compatible status bar

---

This is a i3wm status bar that's build as a toy project. It is extremely basic, doesn't have many features and isn't very configurable.

This interacts with i3 using the i3bar input protocol.

Features

• SIGUSR1 forces a refresh
• It has colours
• Sometimes it breaks

Compiling locally

These instructions assume you have a recent version of the Go 1.x toolchain installed on your machine.

git clone https://github.com/codemicro/bar.git
cd bar
go build -o cdmbar github.com/codemicro/bar/cmd/bar
// To use with i3, you probably want to put it somewhere that's on PATH
mv ./cdmbar ~/.local/bin

Then, update the status_command line below to match the below.

bar {
        status_command cdmbar
}
