# Polybar Collection



My personal collection. Trying to make some nice themes, and show how great [Polybar](https://github.com/polybar/polybar) is. I'll keep updating the collection, and maybe create some custom scripts so you and I can have a better experience with this thing. I also recommend you to check this [adi1090x Polybar Collection](https://github.com/adi1090x/polybar-themes), has some great themes, so if you don't like my collection, you can just check the other one. Also the reason why I'm doing this is because I want you to have more options and ideas to build your own theme.



Read this README with attention.



## Getting Started



### Prerequisites



First of all, install Polybar:



[Compiling Polybar](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/wiki/Compiling)



By default the font used is `JetBrainsMono` (you can change it in the **fonts.ini** file), you can download and install from [NerdFonts](https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads):



Also you'll need [MaterialIcons](https://github.com/google/material-design-icons) and [Feather](https://feathericons.com/).

You can move both **MaterialIcons** and **feather** inside **fonts** to **$HOME/.fonts/** and run:



```bash

$HOME

-> fc-cache -fv

```



or just search how to install fonts!



### Cloning



Now you need to clone the repo in the \$HOME directory (because the path inside the files points to **$HOME/polybar-collection**):



```bash

$HOME

-> git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Murzchnvok/polybar-collection

```



or clone to other directory and create a symlink of the folder in the \$HOME directory:



```bash

$HOME/Projects

-> git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Murzchnvok/polybar-collection



$HOME

-> ln -s $HOME/Projects/polybar-collection $HOME/polybar-collection

```



### Running



BSPwm



```bash

$HOME/polybar-collection/launch.sh

```



I3wm



```bash

exec_always --no-startup-id $HOME/polybar-collection/launch.sh

```



Remember to keep updated:



```bash

$HOME

-> cd $HOME/polybar-collection && git pull

```



## Few changes



Now we only have one file **modules.ini** to change the modules that we like to use. I believe that's a better way to configure our Polybar themes:



```ini

modules-left = date wallz nft tor weather bspwm i3

modules-center = mpd

modules-right = wired cpu memory xbacklight pulseaudio

```



The only problem with this, is that some themes don't have certain modules, for now at least! I'm planning on making this collection easier to setup, so if you have any ideas you can always share.



## Weather app



As pointed out by Dennis Perrone, my personal OpenWeather API Key is in the project as a constant, and I did this intentionally so it just works, and it's fine if you want to use it the same as me, but I'll suggest you to create your own API Key for free in the official [OpenWeather](https://openweathermap.org/api) website. There's a limit of requests you can make using the same API Key, so we both could be without the weather info if a lot of requests are made.



After you create your API Key, you can pass as an argument in the **weather.sh** script, or you can set an environment variable for **OPENWEATHER_API_KEY** with your own API Key:



## Wallz



Still thinking about this one, maybe I should add more 'backend' options, for now is only using Bing API, but I could add more options since Bing API have a 'limited', but with a really good quality, wallpapers collection. For now I'll be only using on minimal theme, but when I'm 'done' I'll add to the others.
