This repo contains a number of utility programs I use in my polybar setup.
| Name | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
battery |
00:45 |
Prints the ETR of usage on battery/charging to full/∞ |
disk |
↑ 0.0 B/s ↓ 16.3 B/s |
Prints the average disk read/write activity since the last call |
zfs |
5% (3.54G), 21% (725G) |
Prints ZFS pool statistics |
network |
↓ 12.6MB/s ↑ 45.2 B/s |
Prints the average network send/receive activity since the last call |
Although all programs have a default output, they also accept an optional "template" string. You can use this template to modify how the data gathered by the programs is printed. A description of available template placeholders can be found below.
Example:
> disk "Read: %reads% Write: %writes%"
Read: 27.2KB/s Write: 2.7MB/sSince the output of these programs is passed to polybar, you can also include color codes within the template:
> disk "%{F00C853}Read: %reads% Write: %writes%%{FDFDFDF}"
%{F00C853}Read: 27.2KB/s Write: 2.7MB/s{FDFDFDF}Color codes are simply passed on to polybar, which will parse and use them to color the output accordingly.

%hours% |

To build and copy all executables to ~/.config/polybar/scripts
git clone https://github.com/markusressel/polybar-addons.git
cd polybar-addons
make deployThen in your polybar config you can use them like this:
modules-right = your_name_of_choice
[...]
[module/your_name_of_choice]
type = custom/script
exec = ~/.config/polybar/scripts/battery "%{F00C853}%hours%:%minutes%%{FDFDFDF}"
interval = 2
