# setup for i3 config in `~/.config/i3/config`

```bash
bar {
    #status_command i3status # original i3status program
    # NOTE: path to your i3statusgo binary
    status_command ~/go/bin/i3statusgo
    position bottom
    # NOTE: since I output so many thing and mark text of them, maybe the font size should not be too large
    font pango:DejaVu Sans Mono 12
}
```

# TODO

1. learn how to setup i3bar color, it seems i3bar take json format as input? or should I add color to i3statusgo output?
2. ref links is useless at least for now

# ref links

- learn how to setup package executable from goreleaser: https://github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser/blob/main/go.mod

```bash
# here is idea
go install github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser/v2@latest
# and the go.mod define below
# module github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser/v2
# and the main.go is in root folder

# so I guess, I don't need to setup cmd/ folder, just expose i3statusgo.go into root folder
```
