The thing I don't get is is there a way to make the battery and CPU temperature use good, bad, degrade colours. It would be nice if I could adjust the values of those states for each module. It would also be nice if there was some flash coloe for which the i3bar would make that particular text flash. Or perhaps the nag-bar could be called..
