ArchMerge Kirk Release 6.4

POLYBAR has been launched
Polybar has been launched and added to the long list of ArchMerge packages.

achmerge-polybar-git

This package contains the latest polybar config for your system. Now primed for i3 and openbox. In the future we will add more desktop environments like bspwm, xmonad, herbstluftwm that can benefit as well from a panel.

The package update will be done in /etc/skel. You decide if you want to update with meld or not. The polybar config is in ~/.config/polybar.

You will find lots of tutorials about polybar on ArchMerge.com.
