SYNOPSIS
i3bar [-b bar_id] [-s sock_path] [-t] [-h] [-v] [-V]
WARNING
i3bar will automatically be invoked by i3 for every bar configuration
block.
Starting it manually is usually not what you want to do.
You have been warned!
OPTIONS
-s, --socket sock_path
Overwrites the path to the i3 IPC socket.

Enable transparency (RGBA colors)

Display a short help-message and exit
-v, --version
Display version number and exit.
-V

DESCRIPTION
i3bar displays a bar at the bottom (or top) of your monitor(s)
containing workspace switching buttons and a statusline generated by
i3status(1) or similar. It is automatically invoked (and configured
through) i3.
i3bar supports colors via a JSON protocol starting from v4.2, see
https://i3wm.org/docs/i3bar-protocol.html
ENVIRONMENT
I3SOCK
Used as a fallback for the i3 IPC socket path if neither the
commandline contains an argument nor the I3_SOCKET_PATH property is set
on the X11 root window.
EXAMPLES
Nothing to see here, move along. As stated above, you should not run
i3bar manually.
Instead, see the i3 documentation, especially the User’s Guide.
SEE ALSO

statusline.
