This is a module inspired by the internal polybar `xwindow` module. This module aims to solve the issue of having a monitor specific window title, in other words, the window title it displays is specific to each monitor as configured.
One easy way to install this is to clone this repo into your `~/.config/polybar/scripts` directory.
# make directory
mkdir -p ~/.config/polybar/scripts
# clone repo
git clone https://github.com/madhat2r/polybar-i3-window.git ~/.config/polybar/scripts/polybar-i3-window
#install python requirements
pip install i3ipcAdd something similar to your `~/.config/polybar/config` file
[bar/primary]
...
modules-left = i3
modules-center = primary-i3-window
modules-right = pulseaudio memory cpu wlan battery temperature date
...
[module/i3-window]
type = custom/script
label = %output:0:50:...%
label-foreground = ${colors.primary}
tail = true
[module/primary-i3-window]
inherit = module/i3-window
exec = ~/.config/polybar/scripts/polybar-i3-window/i3-window.py HDMI-0
[module/secondary-i3-window]
inherit = module/i3-window
exec = ~/.config/polybar/scripts/polybar-i3-window/i3-window.py DP-0
The thing to note is the you pass your monitor name `HDMI-0` to the script. You get this name by looking at you output of `xrandr –listmonitors`
xrandr --listmonitors | cut -d" " -f6HDMI-0 DP-1 DP-0 DP-2
