CPU usage had previously not supported the color option. Add support for a "degraded" state above which the degraded color is used, and a higher "bad" state above which the "bad" color is used. One possible use for these might be indicating whether one or all cores are saturated. Unlike the color settings for other, these are set high enough to be disabled by default. This is done because i3status determines CPU usage over only the last display interval, which means that, a user with a low refresh rate might see frequent, potentially-annoying color changes. |

i3status
Description
i3status is a small program (about 1500 SLOC) for generating a status bar for i3bar, dzen2, xmobar or similar programs. It is designed to be very efficient by issuing a very small number of system calls, as one generally wants to update such a status line every second. This ensures that even under high load, your status bar is updated correctly. Also, it saves a bit of energy by not hogging your CPU as much as spawning the corresponding amount of shell commands would.
Development
i3status has the following dependencies:
- libconfuse-dev
- libyajl-dev
- libasound2-dev
- libnl-genl-3-dev
- libcap2-bin (for getting network status without root permissions)
- asciidoc (only for the documentation)
- libpulse-dev (for getting the current volume using PulseAudio)
On debian-based systems, the following line will install all requirements:
apt-get install libconfuse-dev libyajl-dev libasound2-dev libiw-dev asciidoc libcap2-bin libpulse-dev libnl-genl-3-dev
Upstream
i3status is developed at https://github.com/i3/i3status
Complilation
Compiling is done with the usual make-line
make && sudo make install
