i3status - glittershark's fork

==============================

i3status is a small program for generating a status bar for i3bar, dzen2,

xmobar, or similar programs. It is designed to be very efficient by issuing a

very small number of system calls, as one generally wants to update such a

status line every second. This ensures that even under high load, your status

bar is updated correctly. Also, it saves a bit of energy by not hogging your

CPU as much as spawning the corresponding amount of shell commands would.

### This fork adds:

- Configurable display of the currently playing MPD track

- Notifications of MPD track changes using libnotify

- Notifications of battery state change and critical level with libnotify

## Installation

Currently there is no official package for this fork of i3status, so you'll have

to compile it yourself. Fortunately that's pretty easy - just clone the

repository and run the following:

```

make && sudo make install

```

## Dependencies

i3status has the following dependencies:

- libconfuse-dev

- libyajl-dev

- libasound2-dev

- libiw-dev

- libnotify

- libmpdclient

- libcap2-bin (for getting network status without root permissions)

- asciidoc (only for the documentation)
