The application is configured via a file in ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gost/config.yml (usually $HOME/.config/gost/config.yml).

config.yml:

version: "1"

theme:
  hue: 0.7
  saturation: 0.7

separator_width: 16

blocks:
  - name: foo_block
    config_option_1: bar_value
    config_option_2:
      - baz_value

sway/config (or i3/config):

bar {
  status_command gost
  # ...
}

You can grab the example config from doc/example-config.yml:

$ curl -sL -o "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/gost/config.yml" \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kraftwerk28/gost/master/doc/example-config.yml

Display battery charge level. Requires UPower to work over DBus upower_device can be obtained via DBus using the following command:

  /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower \
  EnumerateDevices \
  | jq -r '.data[0] | map(match("[^/]+$").string)[]'`
