Greetings i3wm users, I'm very pleased to announce the release of *py3status v2.0* !
It brings some interesting new features which I hope can benefit to the i3wm users looking to gain more control over their i3bar. What is py3status ? ------------------------- It is a user-contributed project which gives you an easy and flexible way to display your own stuff in your i3barby wrapping your current i3status configuration. New major features since release v1.x ------------------------------------------------- The main idea of this release is that *py3status now extends your i3status.conf* which allows you to control your i3bar more easily than ever. - *Handle all click events *(i3status modules included) *directly from your i3status config* [3]* *- All py3status contributed modules are now shipped and *usable directly without the need to copy them to your local folder*. **- *Load, configure and order py3status modules directly from your i3status config<https://github.com/ultrabug/py3status/wiki/Load-and-order-py3status-modules-directly-from-your-current-i3status-config> *just like any other i3status module [4] - Every click event now triggers a refresh of the clicked module, even for i3status modules. This makes your i3bar more responsive than ever !
