i3status-rust is a resource-friendly, feature-rich replacement for i3status written in pure Rust. It renders configurable 'blocks' of system information (time, battery, volume, etc.) on status bars that support the i3bar protocol.
Use cases
- show battery, volume, and clock in my i3 status bar
- replace i3status with something faster and more configurable
- display system info blocks on an i3bar-compatible status bar
- customize a status bar with themes and icons via TOML config
- monitor system resources from a tiling window manager bar
When to choose
- you use i3 or another i3bar-protocol-compatible window manager and want a modern, efficient status generator
- you want rich block-based system info with themes, icons, and TOML configuration
- you prefer a Rust implementation with low resource usage
When to avoid
- you use a desktop environment with its own panel
- your bar uses a different protocol like Wayland's swaybar with custom requirements not covered by i3bar
- you need a GUI-based configuration tool
