Beautiful collection of Polybar themes

Polybar Collection

My personal collection. Trying to make some nice themes, and show how great Polybar is. I'll keep updating the collection, and maybe create some custom scripts so you and I can have a better experience with this thing. I also recommend you to check this adi1090x Polybar Collection, has some great themes, so if you don't like my collection, you can just check the other one. Also the reason why I'm doing this is because I want you to have more options and ideas to build your own theme.

Read this README with attention.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

First of all, install Polybar:

Compiling Polybar

By default the font used is JetBrainsMono (you can change it in the fonts.ini file), you can download and install from NerdFonts:

Also you'll need MaterialIcons and Feather. You can move both MaterialIcons and feather inside fonts to $HOME/.fonts/ and run:

$HOME
-> fc-cache -fv

or just search how to install fonts!

Cloning

Now you need to clone the repo in the $HOME directory (because the path inside the files points to $HOME/polybar-collection):

$HOME
-> git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Murzchnvok/polybar-collection

or clone to other directory and create a symlink of the folder in the $HOME directory:

$HOME/Projects
-> git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Murzchnvok/polybar-collection

$HOME
-> ln -s $HOME/Projects/polybar-collection $HOME/polybar-collection

Running

BSPwm

$HOME/polybar-collection/launch.sh

I3wm

exec_always --no-startup-id $HOME/polybar-collection/launch.sh

Remember to keep updated:

$HOME
-> cd $HOME/polybar-collection && git pull

Few changes

Now we only have one file modules.ini to change the modules that we like to use. I believe that's a better way to configure our Polybar themes:

modules-left = date wallz nft tor weather bspwm i3
modules-center = mpd
modules-right = wired cpu memory xbacklight pulseaudio

The only problem with this, is that some themes don't have certain modules, for now at least! I'm planning on making this collection easier to setup, so if you have any ideas you can always share.

Weather app

As pointed out by Dennis Perrone, my personal OpenWeather API Key is in the project as a constant, and I did this intentionally so it just works, and it's fine if you want to use it the same as me, but I'll suggest you to create your own API Key for free in the official OpenWeather website. There's a limit of requests you can make using the same API Key, so we both could be without the weather info if a lot of requests are made.

After you create your API Key, you can pass as an argument in the weather.sh script, or you can set an environment variable for OPENWEATHER_API_KEY with your own API Key:

Wallz

Still thinking about this one, maybe I should add more 'backend' options, for now is only using Bing API, but I could add more options since Bing API have a 'limited', but with a really good quality, wallpapers collection. For now I'll be only using on minimal theme, but when I'm 'done' I'll add to the others.

polybar-collection's Issues

change api to get location

I clone your repo and get error when get city from old api https://ipapi.co/json

error:

python3 $HOME/polybar-collection/scripts/weather/main.py -u metric -a 61527dc595b1f41998133d77d4d7b106

I recomment you change to http://ip-api.com/json it also free too.

only half the icons show up

Hi, first of all I love your nord theme for polybar.
The issue is that the icons in the bar only show half way. On both of my devices so it's not hardware related.
Both of them are running arch with i3.
I include a screenshot so you can see what i mean.

Whta's the font name for lofi theme?

Hi, When I use lofi theme I don't get these warnings and polybar left side doesn't show at all. I have all the required fonts loaded so my guess is that these chars are from different font.
Thanks a lot for your efforts.

warn: Dropping unmatched character  (U+e9e7) in ''
warn: Dropping unmatched character  (U+e9e7) in ''
warn: Dropping unmatched character  (U+e9e7) in ''

Dependencies issues

• i3, Arch Linux, Dependencies Installed

When loading one of the bars per the instructions, the Ugly Weather (dead repo) script fails to load (weather.ini).

Removing the weather.ini script from all of the files is enough to fix it, however the actual blocks still fail to load, aside from the time block.

Hardcoded creds

First things, thanks for the repo! I was looking at the weather.py and noticed you have your OpenWeather API key hardcoded in there. Just wanted to make you aware in the event it wasn't intentional.

Lego left

Hey there, first i want to say your polybar collection is great.
I am trying to use your lego-left module, I have your fonts copied and when i use it, i actually get a full lego, not "merging" into the next module, if it make sense.

How do I do it?

How to copy Icons?

Hey there,

I'm trying to use the Material Icons (I have Material-Design-Iconic-Font font installed) and I am using gucharmap to view from the Private Use Area to see the icons. When I copy/paste into terminal... I am not getting the desired icon.

Is there a separate font I need to install?

Trying to use the lofi theme ^^ (it looks amazing btw)

Some Icon are are not showing for me and the power icon is covered, am i missing any dependencies?

Polybar gruvbox theme not working

Hey, very nice beautiful theme you got here, unfortunately for me it isn't working because I need to install the "colored" package, any way you could please help me? i'm on arch and have followed the instructions on readme.md

/home/firefox289/polybar-collection/dracula/launch.sh: line 10: polybar: command not found

when ever i run the command: $HOME/polybar-collection/launch.sh it pops up an error like: /home/firefox289/polybar-collection/dracula/launch.sh: line 10: polybar: command not found

Nord theme not displaying correctly

I'm trying to use your Nord polybar, and each time I do it displays without icons. If I run this:

``polybar -c .config/polybar/config.ini main

I get this output:

I've installed ttf-material-icons-git from the AUR. Any tips on what to do?

can i use this in windows 10?

as the title says

error: Uncaught exception

error: Uncaught exception, shutting down: Failed to open config file /home/suredials/polybar-collection/themes/lofi/include-modules.ini: No such file or directory

MPD/Mopidy & ncmpcpp

I was finally able to get Mopidy & ncmpcpp running and when I play songs the MPD module shows up on the polybar and I can pause/stop/skip songs etc.. but It's not displaying song title on anything of that sort. It because of the tools(mopidy/ncmpcpp), or some configuration I need?

Thanks!
