+# NAME
+
+sway-bar - bar configuration file and commands
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+Sway allows configuring swaybar in the sway configuration file. Swaybar
+commands must be used inside a _bar { }_ block in the config file.
+
+# COMMANDS
+
+*status\_command* <status command>
+ Executes the bar _status command_ with _sh -c_. Each line of text printed
+ to stdout from this command will be displayed in the status area of the
+ bar. You may also use the i3bar JSON protocol:
+
+ https://i3wm.org/docs/i3bar-protocol.html
+
+*pango\_markup* enabled|disabled
+ Enables or disables pango markup for status lines. This has no effect on
+ status lines using the i3bar JSON protocol.
+
+*id* <bar\_id>
+ Sets the ID of the bar.
+
+*position* top|bottom
+ Sets position of the bar. Default is _bottom_.
+
+*output* <output>
+ Restrict the bar to a certain output, can be specified multiple times. If
+ the output command is omitted, the bar will be displayed on all outputs.
+
+*swaybar\_command* <command>
+ Executes custom bar command. Default is _swaybar_.
+
+*font* <font>
+ Specifies the font to be used in the bar.
+
+*separator\_symbol* <symbol>
+ Specifies the separator symbol to separate blocks on the bar.
+
+*wrap\_scroll* yes|no
+ Enables or disables wrapping when scrolling through workspaces with the
+ scroll wheel. Default is _no_.
+
+*workspace\_buttons* yes|no
+ Enables or disables workspace buttons on the bar. Default is _yes_.
+
+*strip\_workspace\_numbers* yes|no
+ If set to _yes_, then workspace numbers will be omitted from the workspace
+ button and only the custom name will be shown. Default is _no_.
+
+*binding\_mode\_indicator* yes|no
+ Enable or disable binding mode indicator. Default is _yes_.
+
+*height* <height>
+ Sets the height of the bar. Default height will match the font size.
+
+## TRAY
+
+Swaybar provides a system tray where third-party applications may place icons.
+The following commands configure the tray.
+
+The _button_ argument in all cases is a platform-specific button code. On Linux
+you can find a list of these at linux/input-event-codes.h.
+
+*activate\_button* <button>
+ Sets the button to be used for the _activate_ (primary click) tray item
+ event. The default is BTN\_LEFT (0x110).
+
+*context\_button* <button>
+ Sets the button to be used for the _context menu_ (right click) tray item
+ event. The default is BTN\_RIGHT (0x111).
+
+*secondary\_button* <button>
+ Sets the button to be used for the _secondary_ (middle click) tray item
+ event. The default is BTN\_MIDDLE (0x112).
+
+*tray\_output* none|all|<output>
+ Sets the output that the tray will appear on or none. Unlike i3bar, swaybar
+ is able to show icons on any number of bars and outputs without races.
+ The default is _all_.
+
+*tray\_padding* <px> [px]
+ Sets the pixel padding of the system tray. This padding will surround the
+ tray on all sides and between each item. The default value for _px_ is 2.
+
+*icon\_theme* <name>
+ Sets the icon theme that sway will look for item icons in. This option has
+ no default value, because sway will always default to the fallback theme,
+ hicolor.
+
+## COLORS
+
+Colors are defined within a _colors { }_ block inside a _bar { }_ block. Colors
+must be defined in hex: _#RRGGBB_ or _#RRGGBBAA_.
+
+*background* <color>
+ Background color of the bar.
+
+*statusline* <color>
+ Text color to be used for the statusline.
+
+*separator* <color>
+ Text color to be used for the separator.
+
+*focused\_background* <color>
+ Background color of the bar on the currently focused monitor output. If not
+ used, the color will be taken from _background_.
+
+*focused\_statusline* <color>
+ Text color to be used for the statusline on the currently focused monitor
+ output. If not used, the color will be taken from _statusline_.
+
+*focused\_separator* <color>
+ Text color to be used for the separator on the currently focused monitor
+ output. If not used, the color will be taken from _separator_.
+
+*focused\_workspace* <border> <background> <text>
+ Border, background and text color for a workspace button when the workspace
+ has focus.
+
+*active\_workspace* <border> <background> <text>
+ Border, background and text color for a workspace button when the workspace
+ is active (visible) on some output, but the focus is on another one. You
+ can only tell this apart from the focused workspace when you are using
+ multiple monitors.
+
+*inactive\_workspace* <border> <background> <text>
+ Border, background and text color for a workspace button when the workspace
+ does not have focus and is not active (visible) on any output. This will be
+ the case for most workspaces.
+
+*urgent\_workspace* <border> <background> <text>
+ Border, background and text color for a workspace button when the workspace
+ contains a window with the urgency hint set.
+
+*binding\_mode* <border> <background> <text>
+ Border, background and text color for the binding mode indicator. If not used,
+ the colors will be taken from _urgent\_workspace_.
