The master branch of this repo is same as the fork as a token of respect.
Currently it provides these details:

- cpu temperature.
- power details, AC if on power cable, or remaining battery percentage.
- cpu load.
- memory utilization percent.
- date local date and time, plus one in different timezone in my case.
- go in order to compile statusbar.
- dzen2 is the package used to render the status bar on your X11 screen
You must have go installed on your system.
This repository is meant to be editable to your own needs, so fork or clone and edit. Create your statusbar configuration:
cp statusbar.dist.json statusbar.json
NOTE: the arguments for dzen2 output formatting should be changed on your needs.
If you run make it will build and move binary to
/usr/local/bin/statusbar and statusbar.json if available, to
/usr/local/etc/statusbar.json.
make
If dependencies were not met, install them. Now you can run statusbar which takes configuration option json as an argument:
statusbar statusbar.json > /tmp/statusbar.log 2>&1
NOTE: you may change configuration properties based on your screen layout and fonts. Statusbar logs errors to stdout and in case of panic to stderr.
