About Nord polybar:

How to start the nord polybar :

1. backup your old polybar config
2. cp -r bspwm-dotfiles/nord/polybar ~/.config/
3. sh ~/.config/polybar/launch.sh

You will get a lot of errors and warnings if you launch it for the first time.

1. About icon: You should install ttf-font-awesome , otf-font-awesome(to display workspace and status icons), ttf-dejavu(to display three mac like icons in the left-top corner) and noto-fonts-emoji(to display wttr.in weather emoji). You can see all of fonts used in dark-config file

2. About audio control: You should install pulseaudio and pulseaudio-ctl

3. If you get warn like this: "warn: Dropping unmatched character ️ (U+fe0f)"

   Don't worry, it doesn't matter. It caused by the wttr.in emoji. In fact, the weather icon has been displayed correctly if you have installed the noto-fonts-emoji.

4. If the polybar doesn't appear, please modify the monitor name in dark-config to your monitor name. The correct value can use xrandr command to get.

File structure:

1. dark-colors: define all nordic color used
2. dark-config: two bars config, about fonts used and directly control bar behavior
3. nord-config: define global settings constant like monitor name, width, height, offset and other settings. define two bars modules used(there are many unused modules)
4. nord-top: define modules needed in top bar
5. nord-down: define modules needed in bottom bar

More details you can look the original nord polybar: Nord Polybar

i3lock's config: (About autolock's details, please look the bspwmrc)

You should install i3lock-color

sudo cp lock/lock.sh /usr/bin/lock && cp lock/wallpaper.png ~/Pictures/Background

Weather:

I use wttr.in to get weather, so you'd better add follow lines in your /etc/hosts to solve the problem of DNS resolution

# wttr.in
5.9.243.187 wttr.in

You should change the city in polybar/script/weather-bar.sh to your city to get correct weather.

If you encounter a problem like this:

Please make sure you have connected to the Internet, then

sh ~/.config/polybar/launch.sh
