i3-nagbar - displays an error bar on top of your screen
Contents
Description
i3-nagbar is used by i3 to tell you about errors in your configuration file (for example). While these
errors are logged to the logfile (if any), the past has proven that users are either not aware of their
logfile or do not check it after modifying the configuration file.
Example
i3-nagbar -m 'You have an error in your i3 config file!' \
-b 'edit config' 'i3-sensible-editor ~/.config/i3/config'
