I3BAR(1) | i3 Manual | I3BAR(1) |
NAME¶
i3bar - xcb-based status- and workspace-bar
SYNOPSIS¶
i3bar [-b bar_id] [-s sock_path] [-t] [-h] [-v] [-V]
WARNING¶
i3bar will automatically be invoked by i3 for every bar configuration block.
Starting it manually is usually not what you want to do.
You have been warned!
OPTIONS¶
-s, --socket sock_path
-b, --bar_id bar_id
-t, --transparency
-h, --help
-v, --version
-V
DESCRIPTION¶
i3bar displays a bar at the bottom (or top) of your monitor(s) containing workspace switching buttons and a statusline generated by i3status(1) or similar. It is automatically invoked (and configured through) i3.
i3bar supports colors via a JSON protocol starting from v4.2, see https://i3wm.org/docs/i3bar-protocol.html
ENVIRONMENT¶
I3SOCK¶
Used as a fallback for the i3 IPC socket path if neither the commandline contains an argument nor the I3_SOCKET_PATH property is set on the X11 root window.
EXAMPLES¶
Nothing to see here, move along. As stated above, you should not run i3bar manually.
Instead, see the i3 documentation, especially the User’s Guide.
SEE ALSO¶
i3status(1), j4status(1) or conky(1) for programs generating a statusline.
