mimic i3status

[mattdrepo]

Hi there,

Firstly thank you for your efforts to date. The project looks great and your additions are really cool.

I would like to request (apologies for asking in an Issues page!) a drop in theme to mimic the default i3status of i3wm.

I am struggling to, for example, show the i3 status style of "desktops in use" "active desktop". And to have the simplistic default line of text to the right to indicate ipv6, wireless, ethernet, battery, disk usage, ram, and date.

I like your project because, unlike i3status, your application indicators work with the desired results.

I know this might seem an odd request - but if this can mimic 100% the design of a default i3status, then many might simply set and forget.

Hope you don't see this as any criticism and just more constructive input towards your great project. Thanks for doing it!

Hi Matt,

This is the proper place to request new features. However, styling, new executors and stuff like that are on the user side. I would accept a pull request, if someone submitted what you're asking for, but I may never find enough time to do it myself. There are still new bug reports and feature request that have a higher priority. I'm just an after hours programmer, coding my stuff late in the night. 🥲 I can only promise to get back to it when I have nothing more urgent to do, sorry.
