💖 BUMBLEBEE-STATUS 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the bumblebee-status manual page — it lives in the General Commands Manual section of your friendly neighbourhood man pages, and it's literally about to become your whole personality.

✨ NAME ✨

bumblebee-status — a status line generator for the i3 window manager. she makes the bar. she IS the bar. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bumblebee-status [options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you run her, you give her options, she gives you a status line. periodt. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so bumblebee-status is a modular, themeable status line generator for the i3 window manager.

modular means you pick and choose which pieces you want. themeable means you make it pretty. and status line generator means… yeah, she generates the status line. no cap. 🔥

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

here's where it gets juicy. every single one, no skips, let's go:

• -h, --help — shows this help message and then dips out (exits). iconic behaviour honestly.
• -c, --config-file <config-file> — tells her which configuration file to use. your config, your rules. 🫶
• -m, --modules MODULES <modules> — give her a space-separated list of modules to load. and here's the tea: the order of that list is the order they show up in the i3bar, left to right. also, you can write <module>:<alias> to give a module an alias — this is the move when you want to load the same module more than once but with different parameters. genius fr fr. 💜
• -p, --parameters PARAMETERS <parameters> — hand over configuration parameters shaped like <module>.<key>=<value>. that's the whole format, don't fight it. ✨
• -t, --theme <theme> — pick the theme she uses for drawing modules. make her cute. 🎀
• -i, --iconset <iconset> — name an iconset to use. this one overrides the theme default, so it wins the argument, no debate. 💅
• -a, --autohide AUTOHIDE <modules> — list of modules to hide when they're not in a warning or error state. shy modules. they only come out when something's wrong. 😭
• -e, --errorhide ERRORHIDE <modules> — list of modules that get hidden when they're in state error. gone. vanished. 🙈
• -d, --debug — adds debug fields to the i3 output. for when you gotta know. 🔍
• -f, --logfile <logfile> — where the debug log file goes, if you specified -d or --debug. defaults to stderr if you don't say otherwise.
• -r, --right-to-left — draws widgets from right to left instead of left to right. and just so we're clear: left to right is the default. 🧚
• -l, --list <modules,themes,modules-rst> — shows you a list of available themes or available modules, along with their parameters. window shopping, basically. 🌈

lowkey important: those <...> things are placeholders. swap them for your actual values, bestie, don't type the angle brackets literally. 😭
