Much by way of discourse, some by way of advice; security from Clausewitz to Claude.
Today we'll cover how to use the dbus interprocess communication (IPC) mechanism to integrate the Clementine music player into i3status. We'll write a small script in Python that determines Clementine's state using the dbus library, and then appends that state to the i3status bar. While we're at it, we'll also learn quite a bit about dbus!
In this fifth installment of our ongoing Linux tutorial series, we're going to customize our i3 experience by modifying i3bar's output. We're going to integrate our MPD music backend into i3bar to display our music info in our i3status bar!
