simple-i3blocks

This is a simple collection of i3blocks-scripts and a config file with the aim to display only important information in favor of not spilling lots of numbers into the status bar. I.e. only the amount of left RAM is displayed as this is - in my point of view - the most important information we like to know most of the times.

Install

Install i3blocks and clone this repo to ~/.config/i3blocks. Remember to back up you existing configs and scripts inside that directory if you already created them.

git clone https://will.kein.hk/git/koksnuss/simple-i3blocks.git ~/.config/i3blocks

Adjust ~/.config/i3blocks/config to control i3 status bar output. Finally reload your i3 window manager. The default shortcut is mod + SHIFT + r, you should see a flickering.
