Polybar For Linux

We don't usually think much about them, but status bars are pretty much everywhere on our devices. We have them on our smartphones, and we have them on our computers as well. Their purpose is pretty much always the same: to help us better understand what's going on under the hood of our devices (via visible icons and minimal information sets), as well as provide some extra accessibility.

Polybar is a lightweight tool designed to help you build eye-pleasing, functional, and highly customizable status bars for basically any Linux desktop environment. The app is packaged for some of the most popular Linux distros out there such as Debian, Ubuntu, Arch Linux, and more.

If you've always felt that your Linux distro's status bar is somewhat lacking, and you've always wished you could add "stuff" to it, now you can with Polybar.

With an app such as Polybar, the limit is your imagination and, of course, your patience, as the entire process might imply a fair bit of tweaking, testing, trial-and-error shenanigans until you find that perfect layout and parameter setup for your status bar.

Polybar helps users create their own status bars without extensive knowledge in shell scripting. On that front, it succeeds marvelously, providing endless possibilities for customization.
