status_command ~/bin/conky-i3bar"
Next, the scripts:
1. conky-i3bar - gitlab.com/aesdana/anadsea/blo…
2. conkyrc - gitlab.com/aesdana/anadsea/blo…
3. mixer and cpu info output script gitlab.com/aesdana/anadsea/blo…
And finally you need patched i3bar that is able to show icons, you can get my binary gitlab.com/aesdana/anadsea/blo… or build and patch it yourself github.com/ashinkarov/i3-extra…
Let me know if you'll need help with all this. Also, you can try another panels like lemonbar and other wrappers which you can easily find with google
