bumblebee-status VS rofi

bumblebee-status (github)for bar, hugely modular and uses Python for modules. Nice assortment of included modules, and it's easy to create new ones.

Hmm i think i found a fix for this issue. So the thing is the status bar i use bumblebee-status needs font-awesome. And initially, this was my font configuarion: font pango:FontAwesome, JetBrainsMono Nerd Font 11 and the issue was that, if I was using FontAwesome as well, then the fonts weren't rendered correctly (as shown in the picture) however when I removed it, it worked just fine. And I noticed that two different fonts can be used, one for the bar and one for i3wm itself. Hence I tried that out. So for i3wm's font I had font pango: JetBrainsMono Nerd Font 11 and in the "bar" section I did this:

https://github.com/tobi-wan-kenobi/bumblebee-status << been using this. Works fine for quick and easy setup and go.

I switched to bumblebee-status a few years ago and find it to pretty extensible. Python modules, including lm-sensors support. I have blocks on my bar for radiator push fans rpm, radiator pull fans rpm, both pumps rpm, water in and water out temperatures... as well as a bunch of other stuff like CPU VRM current, package temps, load/usage, etc.

https://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#client_colors This is the official page for it. It explains it pretty well. Some people also use https://github.com/tobi-wan-kenobi/bumblebee-status for more color options and themes! Though you might have to point the thing to a custom config file.

Today, in what is still completely unbelievable to me, my small, humble project bumblebee-status reached 1k stars on github. Thank you so much to everyone who uses it or contributes to it, you are awesome! (459 PRs and over 400 opened issues mean that most of the work on this project is anyhow done by the community)

I just patched statuscolors to my dwm build with the aim of bringing colors to my statusbar (I use dwmblocks). I want to achieve something aesthetically similar to bumblebee-status, with each statusbar block appearing in a different color. As explained in the patch documentation, I defined an array of colors in my dwm config, something like this:

bumblebee-status, got some nice themes and info on how to write you own; easy to install too. Check this: https://github.com/tobi-wan-kenobi/bumblebee-status

How about Bumblebee-status or Polybar?" That's a question of preference. Both are excellent.

I am using arch linux. For me github is loading very slow and sometimes web pages are not loading properly. For ex this github repo - https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi keeps on loading and even after loading some images (like the drop down images) doesn't load properly. Only facing this problem with github and no other websites. Tried to go to github on my mobile (jio) and facing the same problem. Anyone having the same problem ?

You can look at this link, https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi, for a bunch of different customizations for it if you don't want to make your own.

You can use rofi and custom launchers: https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi

Then there's a tool named rofi, which has zillions of scripts ready to use: https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi

Install rofi and copy the scripts you like. Just a 4 examples it can do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8w1i3wAKiw just copy any of the zillions scripts and use them: https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi the advance of using rofi is that if you switch distro/WM/DE you just copy paste your configuration files (dotfiles) from your existing install to the new one and everything will work like they used to work.

I'd warmly recommend to start learning to use rofi-menu + sxhkd no matter which distro/WM you use, because that combo has endless opportunities even if you just copied the scripts already in Github: https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi

After multiseat feels too normal, take a look at rofi-menu. Once you understand it's glory it'll will follow you into any Linux install you make in the future. Scripts ready to use in github: https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi
