Some other modules (pomodoro) indeed provide notifications, it's just that it has not been implemented/contributed in the battery_level one.
I'm always open to suggestions and contributions, feel free to come on Freenode IRC #py3status channel if you want to talk about it more "lively" or email me ;) > > I also came along i3pystatus, which seems to be strive for the same like > py3status, right? They have a more elaborate battery plugin, but no display > configuration plugin at all. Are py3status and i3pystatus compatible anyhow? Even tho they use python as their primary language, these are two separate projects with different approaches to enhance your i3bar. I think the main one is still that py3status uses natively your i3status.conf and enhance it [2] so you don't need any other config file [1]. They both provide their own set of modules but those are not directly compatible between them since their implementation is different. So I guess it's just a matter of taste and contribution / discussion :) > Best Regards, > Florian [1] https://github.com/ultrabug/py3status/wiki/Load-and-order-py3status-modules-directly-from-your-current-i3status-config [2] https://github.com/ultrabug/py3status/wiki/Handle-click-events-directly-from-your-i3status-config Have a nice day, Kindly
