qbar is a status command for sway and i3.
Building qbar requires nix. To build it run:
nix build
You can also use the scripts in the bin-directory (all scripts will rebuild the project if required):
# Launch as swaybar status command while redirecting stderr to shell
./bin/run-sway default
All configuration is currently done with command line arguments. The executable uses a command-style interface (e.g. qbar theme rainbow) which supports --help at every level of the tree. It also provides bash, zsh and fish tab completions.
Use the following status_command:
qbar server swaybar default
You can specify a custom set of blocks:
qbar server swaybar date cpu network script ~/bin/my_script
i3 runs the status command for every screen that shows a bar. To reuse the output of your primary display you can use mirror mode:
# Configure for primary display
qbar server i3bar default
# Configure for other displays
qbar mirror i3bar
Theming is not supported on mirrored servers.
