Description Wade Mealing 2012-06-04 01:27:43 UTC

Description of problem:

i3status default configuration creates non-sane display on the i3bar.  I don't know if this is by choice or not, but it ends up looking odd on the standard i3bar.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

i3status-2.1.3.fc17

How reproducible:

Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install i3
2. Run and accept defaults.
3. Look at the i3bar (bottom bar)
  
Actual results:

dzen2 style "information" ^6fg(#333333) etc on the bar.

Expected results:

No dzen2 style text on the i3bar.

Additional info:

This can be modified by configuring a simple display in the ~/.i3status.conf but that doesn't solve this bug for everyone.

Could be a design choice, i'm unsure what to do about this.

Hi, I am updating all i3 related packages to newest versions.

I reproduced your issue on 2.1.3, seems to be fixed for me with 2.5.1 so please give it a go. Newest i3 itself and i3lock are also in testing.

Comment 3 Wade Mealing 2012-06-07 01:16:30 UTC

Used your source RPM on RHEL6.  Problem solved for EL6.  I imagine it will also work for Fedora 17.
