bar VS core

OpenBSD, bed, nsxiv, bar, tewi

You can see the source code here. It's a tool for generating status bar output for text-based status bars like dzen2, xmobar, or lemonbar. Feedback welcome!

It's optional though and you can easily replace it with something else. A lot of i3/bspwm users use something like polybar, lemonbar or yabar instead. When I was on bspwm I used tint2. These are all highly customizable, and tiling wm users tend to be the sort who want to customize them, which can be time consuming. But you can use almost anything, even something like the xfce4 panel if you want.

I like polybar but if you want something simpler, try lemonbar

I now run bspwm, along with sxhkd, picom, and lemonbar, as separate userland runit services; my .xinitrc now reads exec dbus-launch --exit-with-x11 runsvdir -P "${HOME}/.local/service/"

lemonbar

You will need the chwb program from wmutils/core to use these scripts.
