Polybar i3 windows script

Miss windows-like list of all windows in your taskbar?

The window class => icon map is pretty much empty, set it up the way you like it so it works for your font and apps.

Features

• Focus workspace and window on left mouse button click
• Highlight urgent windows
• Remove unnecessary text from window titles like " - Chromium" for chromium windows to make them shorter
• Overflow the polybar when there is too many windows open :^)

Planned improvements

• limit to some number of windows / characters to somehow solve the overflowing issue
• Visually group together workspaces
• Configurability
• Make the window title formatting automatic (e.g. always removing - [app name])

Example config

[module/i3-windows]
type = custom/script
exec = ~/projects/polybar-i3-windows/module.py
tail = true

The scripts expects font-2 to be the font that should be used for icons. You probably want it to have higher size than your regular font. Example:

font-0 = NotoSans Nerd Font:size=10;2      
font-1 = siji:pixelsize=16;1 
font-2 = NotoSans Nerd Font:size=16;4
