Since you seems to aim for minimalist look, you could follow the UNIX philosophy and write a shell script that echos your computer's battery status from

Code: Select all

/sys/class/power_supply/BAT*/
and makes sway's default bar call it by adding this in your config (with editing from /path/to/script to the actual script's path, of course):

Code: Select all

bar * status_command /path/to/script
Also, read the manual :tf:

Code: Select all

man 5 sway
