I tried running `indicator-multiload` and it *runs* fine and adds itself to the i3bar, but it's trimmed to a square, rather than being considerably wider. Is this a limitation of i3bar itself? Can I do anything about it?Sat, 12 Oct 2013 13:30:36 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2695/system-load-indicator-is-clipped-in-the-i3bar/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2695/system-load-indicator-is-clipped-in-the-i3bar/?answer=2696#post-id-2696indicator-multiload seems to be a GNOME applet. i3 doesn’t support these. i3bar only offers a system tray, which is quadratic (square) as per the specification.Sat, 12 Oct 2013 13:36:35 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2695/system-load-indicator-is-clipped-in-the-i3bar/?answer=2696#post-id-2696https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2695/system-load-indicator-is-clipped-in-the-i3bar/?comment=2698#comment-2698That's what I guessed was the case. Is there a different bar that I can conveniently use which would support the general stuff i3bar supports (well, actually it's only the workspaces I care about) but with such applets also?Sat, 12 Oct 2013 14:15:07 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2695/system-load-indicator-is-clipped-in-the-i3bar/?comment=2698#comment-2698https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2695/system-load-indicator-is-clipped-in-the-i3bar/?comment=2703#comment-2703Maybe you should try Conky: http://conky.sourceforge.net/ or http://i3wm.org/docs/user-contributed/conky-i3bar.htmlSun, 13 Oct 2013 09:21:46 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2695/system-load-indicator-is-clipped-in-the-i3bar/?comment=2703#comment-2703
