i3going-on

This implements the i3bar protocol.

Testing

To enable this I add the following to ~/.config/i3/config:

bar {
  id bottom
  status_command /path/to/repo/bin/i3going-on
  position bottom
  tray_output primary
  mode hidden
}

To show/hide: i3-msg 'bar mode toggle bottom'

To restart: i3-msg restart
