i3blocks underline/bottom border?
I came across this screenshot on the GitHub page for dunst (https://github.com/dunst-project/dunst) and couldn't help but admire the underline/bottom border they had on their i3blocks. Does anyone have any idea how this could be done?

I3wm - How to get notified for an external device being connected?
Dunst isn't providing those either. I didn't find any mention of headphones or such notifications in the dunst source code. In fact the devs refused to add by-default notifications for audio devices in dunst. Probably some other source is providing those.

If you want to replace some components, you could get polybar instead of the XFCE panel and rofi as the app launcher. Aditya Shakya (/u/adi1090x) has great collections of themes for polybar and rofi.

Logout / change user
I simply use rofi to do that. There is a nice repo that has some rofi power widgets, you may need to use something like setuid to give that script privileges to do power related stuff
