## Configuration
By default, running will get you a blank bar. To start, you will need a configuration file in `.config/ironbar`. This could be called `config.<fmt>`, using one of the available extensions:
Ironbar gives a lot of flexibility when configuring, including multiple file formats
and options for scaling complexity: you can use a single config across all monitors,
or configure different/multiple bars per monitor.
- JSON
- TOML
- YAML
- [Corn](https://github.com/jakestanger/corn) (Experimental. JSON/Nix like config lang. Supports variables.)
For a full list of modules and their configuration options, please see the [wiki](https://github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar/wiki).
There are two different approaches to configuring the bar:
### Same configuration across all monitors
> If you have a single monitor, or want the same bar to appear across each of your monitors, choose this option.
The top-level object takes any combination of `left`, `center`, and `right`. These each take a list of modules and determine where they are positioned.
```json
{
"left": [],
"center": [],
"right": []
}
```
### Different configuration across monitors
> If you have multiple monitors and want them to differ in configuration, choose this option.
The top-level object takes a single key called `monitors`. This takes an array where each entry is an object with a configuration for each monitor.
The monitor's config object takes any combination of `left`, `center`, and `right`. These each take a list of modules and determine where they are positioned.
```json
{
"monitors": [
{
"left": [],
"center": [],
"right": []
},
{
"left": [],
"center": [],
"right": []
}
]
}
```
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|------------|-------------------|---------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `position` | `top` or `bottom` | `[]` | The bar's position on screen. |
| `height` | `integer` | `42` | The bar's height in pixels. |
| `left` | `Module[]` | `[]` | Array of left modules. |
| `center` | `Module[]` | `[]` | Array of center modules. |
| `right` | `Module[]` | `[]` | Array of right modules. |
| `monitors` | `RootConfig[]` | `null` | Array of root config objects for each monitor. Overrides left/center/right. |
A full configuration guide can be found [here](https://github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar/wiki/configuration-guide).
## Styling
To get started, create a stylesheet at `.config/ironbar/style.css`. Changes will be hot-reloaded every time you save the file.
An example stylesheet and information about each module's styling information can be found on the [wiki](https://github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar/wiki).
