<h1>i3bar</h1>
<p>
- i3bar is an xcb- and libev-based status- and workspace-bar. It is best
- thought of as an replacement for the old <tt>i3-wsbar(1)</tt> +
- <tt>dzen2(1)</tt>-combination. It creates a workspace-bar for every active
- output ("screen") and displays a piped in statusline rightaligned on every
- bar.
+ i3bar displays a bar at the bottom (or top) of your monitor(s) containing
+ workspace switching buttons and a statusline generated by i3status(1) or
+ similar. It is automatically invoked (and configured through) i3.
</p>
-<p>
- It does not sample any status-information itself, so you still need a program
- like <tt>i3status(1)</tt> or <tt>conky(1)</tt> for that.
-</p>
-
-<p>
- i3bar does not support any color or other markups, so stdin should be plain
- utf8, one line at a time. If you use <tt>i3status(1)</tt>, you therefore
- should specify 'output_format = none' in the general section of its config
- file.
