  • clone or download this repo into ~/.config/i3blocks, and get the default fonts
sudo pacman -S python-psutil ttf-font-awesome ttf-inconsolata-nerd
cd ~/.config
git clone https://github.com/mikeredev/i3blocks.git
chmod +x control

mouse actions

$BLOCK_BUTTON allows for the following mouse events:

1: left-click
2: middle-click
3: right-click
4: mouse wheel up
5: mouse wheel down

configuring thresholds

  • define warning and critical thresholds directly in i3blocks.conf, e.g.:
[load]
command="$HOME"/.config/i3blocks/control --check load --warning 0.7 --critical 1.0

[gpu]
command="$HOME"/.config/i3blocks/control --check $BLOCK_NAME --warning 70 --critical 80

creating new blocks

  • store new modules in the blocks directory
  • the control script will call its i3blocks_check(warning, critical) function

styling

  • colors/fonts/glyphs can be defined in i3blocks.conf
