This is a collection repository of my personal i3blocks.
This block displays information from D-Bus MPRIS compliant media players (such as Spotify or VLC). It does not require playerctl to do so; it instead interfaces with D-Bus directly.
This block utilizes Font Awesome icons (you can swap them for unicode alternatives).
Example Output: In A Sentimental Mood - Duke Ellington

This block displays information from Weather Underground's API. It requires that you supply it a valid Wunderground API key and a valid location. It will update the current temperature and weather condition every 15 minutes relative to when it's initially ran (you can make this faster, but too fast and you'll deplete your daily update allowance).
In order to get a free API key you must sign up for an account here, then select the Stratus Developer plan here (I know it says purchase but it's most certainly free). Valid location formats include US zipcodes (10101), US state/city (NY/New_York), or country/city (UK/London). To display in degrees Celsius/Centigrade supply the -C option.
Example Output: Clear, 59 °F
