Esto es un fork

Mas o menos. En realidad "solo" he copiado la configuración de lemonbar de ![Electro7] (https://github.com/electro7/dotfiles/) y la he modificado. Dejo el README como referencia. Los cambios vienen a ser, cambiar formato de la hora y fecha y quitar el wifi de conky, cambiar el script de gmail por uno de notmuch, cambiar colores y añadir Font Awesome.

Requeriments

• Of course, [lemonbar] (https://github.com/LemonBoy/bar)

• Alsa-utils for volume indicator.

• Conky for CPU, MEM, NET and DISK usage.

• Curl for gmail alert.

• Weechat for private messages alert. Bitlbee for twitter and chat protocols integration.

• MPD and mpc for song info.

• xprop for focus app indicator.

• And finally, [i3wm] (https://i3wm.org)

Basically, how it works?

i3_lemonbar.sh bash script read the configuration from i3_lemonbar_config file.

Later, execute the requested apps for the diferent meter sections. The output is redirected to fifo file, adding 3 letters ID for each.

Finally, run a i3_lemonbar_parser.sh that read from fifo, check the ID meter, and converts it with lemonbar format.

Configuration

• Change the bar section on i3wm config:

  bar {
      i3bar_command ~./.i3/lemonbar/i3_lemonbar.sh
  }
  

• Adjust bar settings editing i3_lemonnar_config. Settings for:

  • Fifo file.
  • Bar geometry.
  • Normal and icon font. [Here are my fonts used] (https://github.com/electro7/dotfiles/tree/master/.fonts)
  • CPU and NET usage alerts.
  • Colors
  • Specials symbols for separator (powerline).
  • Icons glyps.
