- shows active keyboard layout, using **setxkbmap**.

- **gmail** account unread email counts in configured order.

- **network** connection details, **wifi** or **ethernet**, upload and

  download speeds.

- **cpu** temperature.

- **power** details, **AC** if on power cable, or remaining **battery**

  percentage.

- **cpu** load.

- **memory** utilization percent.

- **date** local date and time, plus one in different timezone in my case.

## Requirements

- **go** in order to compile statusbar.

- **dzen2** is the package used to render the status bar on your X11 screen

## Installation

You must have **go** installed on your system.

This repository is meant to be editable to your own needs, so fork or

clone and edit. Create your statusbar configuration:

    cp statusbar.dist.json statusbar.json

**NOTE:** the arguments for **dzen2** output formatting should be changed

on your needs including **gmail** accounts if available.

If you run `make` it will build and move binary to

**/usr/local/bin/statusbar** and statusbar.json if available, to

**/usr/local/etc/statusbar.json**.

    make

If dependencies were not met, install them. Now you can run statusbar

which takes configuration option json as an argument:

    statusbar statusbar.json > /tmp/statusbar.log 2>&1

**NOTE:** you may change configuration properties based on your screen

layout and fonts. Statusbar logs errors to **stdout** and in case of panic

to **stderr**.
