  • i3-nagbar Blocked By i3bar
    1 project | /r/i3wm | 3 Jan 2023
    Hey everyone. I recently switched from i3status to py3status but I am running into one issue. When it displays a battery notification using the i3-nagbar and the status bar is hidden, it renders correctly. However, when I show the status bar and hide it again, the outline of the status bar is still there, blocking the i3-nagbar.
  • i3-nagbar Hidden Under i3 bar

    Hey everyone. I recently switched to py3status, a wrapper around i3status. However, I had one problem with the battery module. When it sends notifications for low battery, it displays an i3-nagbar. While this nagbar is displayed, I display the status bar. When I hide the status bar again, the outline of the status bar stays, hiding the nagbar. When I click the X on the nagbar, it only updates when I redisplay the status bar.

    Did you have a look at py3status? It's compatible with i3status (you can start with the same configuration file), but offers a lot of modules to extend the functionality of i3status.

    I’m not sure which distro you’re running but if you haven’t seen the official documentation, please do so. If the community here isn’t able to help you, please open a ticket on GitHub. My guess is you don’t have the correct version of Python. Which distro are you using?
