An i3blocks integration for timewarrior.

What is this?

This projects was created to give rust a try. The code might not make a lot of sense. If you have hints on what to do differently, then please leave an issue!

There is a practical purpose for this code. There is the cmd tool called taskwarrior. This tool is supposed to work with the i3 Window Manager and a plugin for it called i3blocks.

It will give you the current status of timewarrior in the bar. This will look as follows:

When there is an active time tracking (tags: i3block test timewarrior; duration: almost 25 min):

Section of a status bar reading'i3block test timewarrior [0:24:48]'

When no time tracking is active:

Section of a status bar reading 'No time tracking active'

Setup

Since I use regolith, which uses their own i3xrocks, I am not sure about the the exact set up for pure i3blocks - specifically the i3blocks folder and how to refresh the view.

  1. Build the src/main.rs using rustc. Put the binary into the a path variable path (i.e. /usr/local/bin).
  2. Put the 03_timewarrior-status file into your i3blocks folder.
  3. Refresh the view (posslibly try [mod] + [shift] + r)
