bumblebee-status is a modular, theme-able status line generator for the i3 window manager, written in Python. It emphasizes ease of use with sane defaults, no mandatory configuration file, and easy creation of custom themes and modules.

Use cases

• generate a status bar for my i3 window manager
• customize my i3bar with themes like solarized or gruvbox
• show system info like CPU, battery, and network in the i3 status line
• write custom modules for my i3 status bar
• replace i3status with something more theme-able
• get a powerline-style status line without complex configuration

When to choose

• you use the i3 window manager and want a customizable status bar
• you want easy theme support (solarized, gruvbox, nord, powerline)
• you prefer writing Python modules to extend your status line
• you want sane defaults without a mandatory config file

When to avoid

• you use Wayland compositors or window managers other than i3
• you need a status bar for sway without i3bar compatibility
• you want a prebuilt bar with a GUI configuration tool
