After an absence of a couple of months using i3, no applets are anymore in my status bar. Even when I start them manually (like nm-applet) they do not appear. I already tried resizing my status bar from what I read in other threads but this didn't help. Any ideas?
What is likely to be missing is the system tray. In your config file, in the i3bar configuration section (bar { ... }), search for the tray_output directive. This directive specifies if the system tray should be displayed and on what output.
You may want to experiment a little bit. In particular you can try the following if you find a directive
tray_output none: Try deleting it.tray_output primary: Make sure the current screen is primary by running xrandr --output <output> --primary, where <output> is your current output. tray_output <output>, where <output> is not your current output: Modify it to your current output.More information can be found in the i3 User's Guide in Section 5.8. Tray Output.
