colored statusbar in dwm w/ statuscolor
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:
- Best way to make slstatus responsive to volume changes?
- DWM minimal status bar
-
slstatus dots
I use this https://github.com/torrinfail/dwmblocks, this will take care of slstatus stuff for you.

Help with clickable blocks[DWMBLOCKS]
As of now, I have the official vanilla dwm, with just the statuscmd patch, AND vanilla dwmblocks from torrinfail, also with the statuscmd patch made for it. I'm having trouble understanding how to configure clickable modules.

At the moment in trying to patch the torrinfail version.

change default bar to just center date & time
To update the status you can use a shell script see the suckless site. or use an external program such as dwmblocks.

How are you restarting your dwmbar?
Need suggestion on how are you restarting your dwm status bar set with xsetroot and not the classic dwmblocks. I have a script dwmbar which loads the status bar. Then I use another script which reloads the status bar whenever I press volume key, which takes significant time.

Been using Gentoo for about a week! I've fallen in love with this distro
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.

i3's titlebar isn't rendering the fonts correctly. And the current font im using it JetBrainsMono Nerd Font, but i've also tried this using non-monospaced fonts like Noto Sans as well. All of it gives the same result. Thanks in advance.
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:

Waybar: Any template for a fan speed (RPM) module?
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.

i3wm border color
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.

Thank you, dear community! (from the author of bumblebee-status)
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)
