I was thinking of the movie. 
Close enough - I would hate for anyone to have to return to Gnome, or have to KDE just for stuff that conky does so easily 
Of course, it’s that it does it so lightly in terms of resources - and it does it regardless of DE or distro (on 'buntus and MX as well as Arch-based on mine)
I haven’t gone quite that far yet

Thanks for this! I just installed i3wm via online installer last weekend. In the meantime did you make any changes/updates to the battery indicator script?
Just wondering because I have been running into trouble with my battery indicator discharge % and charge/discharge time with numbers that do not make sense to me. Probably unrelated to i3wm, but if anyone else has this problem would be good to know.
It started since the last larger recent upgrade/update of python that borked the nvidia driver and optimus-manager due to a version mismatch on AUR… I reinstalled all my drivers and optimus, and actually also EOS, it seems to work well now but not the battery indicator which sporadically works. By that I mean it is accurate, then suddenly changes from 60% and 4h battery life to 10% and 6min battery life and is stuck at such value. I can make a separate thread for this once I did some more research about this. Don’t want to hijack this thread with own problem…
I also recently did a post on high dpi setup using i3wm on lenovo, that may be useful for some people. Still working out the kinks to get it working on multiple monitors.

https://github.com/endeavouros-team/i3-EndeavourOS/blob/master/.config/i3/scripts/battery.sh
so no changes on the scripts, but could be related to some updates, i do not write this one and take it from https://github.com/vivien/i3blocks-contrib/blob/master/battery/battery
the source one is updated you could try using that one and see if it is better.
I would change it then on GitHub

Ok, thanks for the info. let me check, will report back…
could you check what happens if you run it in terminal?
~/.config/i3/scripts/battery.sh
~/.config/i3/scripts/battery.sh
98% DIS (05:20)
98% DIS
at the moment it shows something similar to the bottom bar. That seems to work. Not sure what triggers the jump to 10%, I will try to pay attention next time, perhaps when the computer suspends
there is also this one:

Much different from script for arm ?

Simple improved setup and theme mostly removing unneeded bits to have a more minimal output and more clean theme, it is the work in progress for what will get the next default theme and setup for both ISO and ARM script.

What about the welcome app? Could it be floating? Or not a good idea?

I believe the welcome app has always floated…
