# i3blocks-config This is my default i3blocks configuration.  <br/>  *** <h2> Standard installation: </h2> <h4> 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> 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> 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> 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> 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. <h3>Thumbnail:</h3>  <br/>  *** <h2>Requiered software packages.</h2> | Software | Arch Linux Package | Gentoo Package | |-------------------|--------------------|----------------------| | i3blocks | [community/i3blocks](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/i3blocks/) | [x11-misc/i3blocks](https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/x11-misc/i3blocks) | | Noto Color Emoji | [extra/noto-fonts-emoji](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/noto-fonts-emoji/) | [media-fonts/noto-emoji](https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/media-fonts/noto-emoji) | | ACPI | [community/acpi](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/acpi/) | [sys-power/acpid](https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-power/acpid) | | Sysstat | [community/sysstat](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/sysstat/) | [app-admin/sysstat](https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/app-admin/sysstat) | | Python 3 | [extra/python](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/python/) | >=[dev-lang/python](https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/dev-lang/python)-3.6 | | Python Requests | [extra/python-requests](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/python-requests/) | [dev-python/requests](https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/dev-python/requests) | | lm_sensors | [extra/lm_sensors](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/lm_sensors/) | [sys-apps/lm-sensors](https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/sys-apps/lm-sensors) | Note: Gentoo users need to emerge [media-libs/freetype](https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/media-libs/freetype) with USE=png for Noto Color Emoji to render.
