## Configuration
Custom configuration is currently only possible from Haskell:
All configuration is currently done with command line arguments. The executable uses a command-style interface (e.g. `qbar theme rainbow`) which supports `--help` at every level of the tree. It also provides bash, zsh and fish tab completions.
### Sway
Use the following `status_command`:
```
qbar server swaybar default
```
You can specify a custom set of blocks:
```
qbar server swaybar date cpu network script ~/bin/my_script
```
### i3
i3 runs the status command for every screen that shows a bar. To reuse the output of your primary display you can use mirror mode:
```
# Configure for primary display
qbar server i3bar default
# Configure for other displays
qbar mirror i3bar
```
myConfig :: BarIO ()
myConfig = do
addBlock dateBlock
main :: IO ()
main = parseOptions >>= runQBar myConfig
```

Theming is not supported on mirrored servers.
