Is there any option to set the height of the bar?

(talking about i3status/i3bar, right?) I don't think so. Its size is basically determined by the font size. So if you tweak that, you can get a bigger bar.

In i3 itself currently not, but in i3-gaps this is possible.

For people trying to hack this to work: I found that setting the font-size to be 10 pixels less than the desired bar height worked e.g:

font pango: 20px

for a 30 size bar.

I had issues when I still included a font in this line... I don't know if this was due to the font not existing in the desired size.

Is it maybe possible to write all the bar output to dzen and show dzen as main bar?
