Hi folks,
Newcomer to Garuda as well as i3 as a window manager. Impressed with both. Did have a question though: In playing with the i3status components I was trying to get the battery status to display, with many failed attempts. After trying a bunch of things, I tried removing the <span>
decorations from status_full, status_chr, etc. and it finally worked. These decorations were AFAIK part of the vanilla install I performed. Here's an example of what was in my .config/i3status/config file:
format = "<span color='#FEFF72'> %status: %percentage </span>"
status_chr = "<span color='#00e64d'>[ ] </span> "
Apparently the span decoration on status_chr cause i3status to have fits. If I remove those tags and just use the UTF8 content it works as expected. It was not clear to me from the i3status documentation whether or not decorating the status strings is allowed. The stock i3status config file from install also includes colors=yes and markup=pango.
