- fonts-font-awesome (or ttf-font-awesome on Arch)
- acpi
- python3
- perl (in which CPU usage script is written)
- mpstat (install sysstat if you don't have it)
- kbdd (for keyboard layout)
This is just a simple configuration of i3blocks with scripts taken from i3blocks-contrib. Each block will look for the script file with the same name in ~/.config/i3blocks/scripts/ directory. Some blocks are commented out either because they don't work (yet) or because I don't need them right now.
I added a custom message prompt in the corner just to remember what's important and to keep vigilance. Add your own message (or whatever you want) in i3blocks/scripts/custom_prompt
