• polybar-i3-window

This is a module inspired by the internal polybar xwindow module. This module aims to solve the issue of having a monitor specific window title, in other words, the window title it displays is specific to each monitor as configured.

** Installation

One easy way to install this is to clone this repo into your ~/.config/polybar/scripts directory.

#+begin_src shell

make directory

mkdir -p ~/.config/polybar/scripts

clone repo

git clone https://github.com/madhat2r/polybar-i3-window.git ~/.config/polybar/scripts/polybar-i3-window

#install python requirements pip install i3ipc #+end_src

** Config

Add something similar to your ~/.config/polybar/config file

#+begin_src conf

[bar/primary]

...

modules-left = i3 modules-center = primary-i3-window modules-right = pulseaudio memory cpu wlan battery temperature date

...

[module/i3-window] type = custom/script label = %output:0:50:...% label-foreground = ${colors.primary} tail = true

[module/primary-i3-window] inherit = module/i3-window exec = ~/.config/polybar/scripts/polybar-i3-window/i3-window.py HDMI-0

[module/secondary-i3-window] inherit = module/i3-window exec = ~/.config/polybar/scripts/polybar-i3-window/i3-window.py DP-0

#+end_src

The thing to note is the you pass your monitor name HDMI-0 to the script. You get this name by looking at you output of xrandr --listmonitors

#+begin_src shell xrandr --listmonitors | cut -d" " -f6 #+end_src

: HDMI-0 : DP-1 : DP-0 : DP-2
