How to place i3bar on top?
7
How can I set i3bar of i3 window manager on top of the screen rather than being placed on its default position, that is bottom.
I tried to examine the ~/.config/i3/config file but couldn't work it out by myself.

You need to add position top
bar {
position top
[original contents of "bar" goes here]
}
After adding this, you will need to refresh which is mod (windows key) + shift + r (unless you have changed it from the default).

It doesn't work. I added it intoconfigfile, it doubled the bar, then I found and added it inside the already existingbar{}it didn't change anything. And I restartedi3as well. Should I create and add it to another, sayi3statusori3barfile, and what is the meaning of the open<snip>tag? I want to know where am I being wrong?

I removed the misadded:and it worked. I'm blaming css for it :P But my questions are still in power, that is if I could add it into a separatei3barfile, and the meaning of unclosing<snip>tag.

It doesn't work. I added it into
config file, it doubled the bar, then I found and added it inside the already existing bar{} it didn't change anything. And I restarted i3 as well. Should I create and add it to another, say i3status or i3bar file, and what is the meaning of the open <snip> tag? I want to know where am I being wrong?– w17t
