karuibar is a:

lightweight, modular status bar for displaying various information about the system at the top of each screen.

The screenshot above — here is a video if you prefer to watch — is taken with the status bar configured with the following X resources:


karuibar.modules: memory, cpu, battery, alsa, time
karuibar.font: lucidasanstypewriter-bold-12

I like this status bar because it’s close to my own dzen-status bar. Colors and icons. It’s designed modular, flexible to configure using X resources. Currently it has six modules at this moment:

  • alsa
  • battery
  • cpu
  • memory
  • time
  • wm

The wm module isn’t compiled, so I wouldn’t know what exactly it looks like. And the battery module doesn’t work, but you can see how it handle errors, or at least, how it looks when error occurs.
