<h2> Standard installation: </h2>

<h4> &nbsp;&nbsp; 1. Install i3blocks: </h4>

Start of by installing [i3blocks](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/i3blocks/). Ideally istallation should be performed with your package manager.

<h4> &nbsp;&nbsp; 2. Install an emojicon font: </h4>

Recommended font: [noto-fonts-emoji](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/noto-fonts-emoji/). All you need to do is install the font, i3 should recognice it and use it automatically.

<h4> &nbsp;&nbsp; 3. Copy the i3blocks configuration: </h4>

From the repository root, invoke `./install.sh`. This script will copy the configuration to your home directory. __Caution:__ if you already have a i3blocks configuration setup in *~/.config/i3blocks* you might want to back it up first. Also note that i3blocks is __not__ the same software as i3status/i3bar and such will not modify them. If you haven't used i3blocks before you can proceed without worrying.

<h4> &nbsp;&nbsp; 4. Modify i3 configuration file: </h4>

*~/.config/i3/config*:
```
bar {
  position top                  # Position should be 'bottom' or 'top'.
  status_command i3blocks       # Invoke i3blocks.

# Possible other bar configurations go here...
  # ...
}
```
You could also modify the font and font size in this file. The default font *pango* will do just fine but you might want to increese the font size based on your needs and also switch to monospace (*pango:monospace*).
```
# Font for window titles. Will also be used by the bar unless a different font
# is used in the bar {} block below.
font pango:monospace 12
```
Another good monospace bold font, [ttf-hack](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/ttf-hack/):
```
font pango:Hack Bold 16
```

<h4> &nbsp;&nbsp; 5. Make audio changes signal the bar: </h4>

The sound level indicator is updated once every tenth second. If you want a more responsive sound level indicator you can use `pkill -RTMIN+1 i3blocks` to send a signal on sound level changes. This will update the sound level blocklet instantly. Here is an __example__ of how this could be accomplished.

*~/.config/i3/config*:
```
# User-added function keys:
bindsym XF86AudioMute         exec --no-startup-id pamixer -t     && pkill -RTMIN+1 i3blocks
bindsym XF86AudioLowerVolume  exec --no-startup-id pamixer -d 3   && pkill -RTMIN+1 i3blocks
bindsym XF86AudioRaiseVolume  exec --no-startup-id pamixer -i 3   && pkill -RTMIN+1 i3blocks
```

<h2> Modification: </h2>

It is easy to modify the bar. Take a look at [.config/i3blocks/config](https://github.com/miklhh/i3blocks-config/blob/master/.config/i3blocks/config) and see for yourself how easy it is to modify any of the blocklets. If any blocklet is malfunctioning, this should be the entypoint for bug searching.
<br/> <br/>
If you want to modify the weather location data, take a look into [config/i3blocks/weather/weather.py](.config/i3blocks/weather/weather.py) (line 9). This too is easy to modify, just change the [YR.no](yr.no) XML weblink. To get desired XML weblink, go to the YR webpage and find a location. Add */forecast.xml* to the end of the URL (english YR version only) to get the appropriate weblink for the weather script.
