setup
-
copy lolstat to your i3 config directory (usually ~/.i3/)
-
create and save an
i3status.shfile:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
i3status -c ~/.i3/i3status.conf | while read line; do ~/.i3/lolstat 2>/dev/null || exit 1; done
- add lolstat font to your local fonts:
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/fonts
cp lolstat.ttf ~/.local/share/fonts
- edit your
~/.i3/configfile and update thestatus_commandline as following:
bar {
font pango:lolstat 20
status_command ~/.i3/i3status.sh
}
- reload your i3wm ($mod+shift+r) setup and it's done! \:D/
