7.8 Contributions............................................... 111 iii iv CHAPTER 1 Introduction Using py3status, you can take control of your i3bar easily by: • using one of the available Modules shipped with py3status • grouping multiple modules and automatically or manually cycle their display • writing your own modules and have their output displayed on your bar • handling click events on your i3bar and play with them in no time • seeing your clock tick every second whatever your i3status interval No extra configuration file needed, just install & enjoy! About You will love py3status if you’re using i3wm and are frustrated by the i3status limitations on your i3bar such as: • you cannot hack into it easily • you want more than the built-in modules and their limited configuration • you cannot pipe the result of one of more scripts or commands in your bar easily
