I3BAR(1)			    i3 Manual				I3BAR(1)

NAME
     i3bar - xcb-based status- and workspace-bar

SYNOPSIS
     i3bar [-b bar_id] [-s sock_path] [-t] [-h] [-v] [-V]

WARNING
     i3bar  will  automatically  be  invoked  by  i3 for every bar configuration
     block.

     Starting it manually is usually not what you want to do.

     You have been warned!

OPTIONS
     -s, --socket sock_path
	 Overwrites the path to the i3 IPC socket.

     -b, --bar_id bar_id
	 Specifies the bar ID for which to get the configuration from i3. By de-
	 fault, i3bar will use the first bar block as configured in i3.

     -t, --transparency
	 Enable transparency (RGBA colors)

     -h, --help
	 Display a short help-message and exit

     -v, --version
	 Display version number and exit.

     -V
	 Be verbose.

DESCRIPTION
     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.

     i3bar supports using a JSON protocol  for	setting  the  status  line,  see
     https://i3wm.org/docs/i3bar-protocol.html

     Since  i3	4.23, i3bar supports another JSON protocol for setting workspace
     buttons. See https://i3wm.org/docs/i3bar-workspace-protocol.html.

ENVIRONMENT
   I3SOCK
     Used as a fallback for the i3 IPC socket path if  neither	the  commandline
     contains an argument nor the I3_SOCKET_PATH property is set on the X11 root
     window.

EXAMPLES
     Nothing  to see here, move along. As stated above, you should not run i3bar
     manually.

     Instead, see the i3 documentation, especially the User's Guide.

SEE ALSO
     i3status(1), j4status(1) or conky(1) for programs generating a statusline.

     dzen2(1) or xmobar(1) for similar programs to i3bar.
