Workspace display

This is a normal feature in other normal status bars, but in Polybar it's not true. You can see the status of your workspaces with this feature. Try it!

This feature looks like:

Current ws	Some windows exists	Empty

Package update monitor

This feature runs every 30 mins.

This is a very good feature. You can see if any packages need to be updated. If you saw "smile" and 0, that means no updatable packages found. On the other hand if you saw "frown and more than 0, that means updatable packages found. And we use a named pipe (which is created as /tmp/.polybar-checkupdates-log) for this feature. So we can immediately turn the face smile again showing a spin animation once finishing the update.

Needs to be updated	Up to date	Sync failed

You'll want to update to see the smile for sure!

Backlight control slider

You can see your screen's brightness level with a slider. You can slide it and change the brightness of your screen by pressing brightness button on your keyboard or scrolling with the mouse wheel/touchpad.

Now let me show you the way to change the brightness by scrolling with mouse wheel/touchpad.

ALSA volume control slider

You can see how loud the speaker sounds from the color of bar or the muted icon.

Muted	Too quiet or good	A bit loud (Warning)	Too loud (Danger!)

And as the same as "Backlight control slider" you can also slide it and change the volume by scrolling with mouse wheel/touchpad.

And also you can make it mute/unmute by clicking with your mouse cursor.

These are the easiest way to control the volume but of cource you can do the same by pressing volume control button on your keyboard too!

Network connection monitor, inbound/outbound speeds

You can get information about how fast your network speed.

CPU monitor

You can get information about how many and well CPUs works, easily and immediately.

Battery monitor

You can see how much battery remains by the color and the value.

Charging	Good	Low battery	Too low battery
