Hi guys,

I have been searching for a while but I could not find anything.

When I add output_format = "i3bar" to the conf file nothing will show up on the bar. I tried the "i3status" command in the terminal and it is returning an error: "Unknown output format: "i3bar".

I just found py3status and wanted to try it out, but I can't get it to work.

Hoping you can help and thanks in advance...

As discussed with you, I guess your problem is now solved and was caused by an old version of i3 & i3status.

Enjoy !

Okay I've got a bit further. My (L)ubuntu repo's were not updated or whatever the problem was. So I had an old version all that time.

Now it's actually outputting colors in the bar.

Can't seem to output custom scripts though...
