I don’t see a link to logs.i3wm.org. Did you follow https://i3wm.org/docs/debugging.html? (In case you actually provided a link to a logfile, please ignore me.)

I'm guessing this is fixed by #465

[IliasN]

Fixed the tztime by using time instead but the battery icons are still not working.

[IliasN]

"Fixed" battery changing config like this :

battery 0 {
    format = "<span color='#6d9bab'>%status</span> %percentage %remaining"
    format_down = "No battery"
    status_chr = " "
    status_bat = " "
    status_unk = "???"
    status_full = " "
    path = "/sys/class/power_supply/BAT%d/uevent"
    low_threshold = 27
}

Looks like we can't use markup in status fields.

[IliasN]

Found why it's not working. This line the status is copied only by STRING_SIZE which is defined to 10. So the problem is that the markup gets cut in the middle and never closes. But i can't find why i didn't have this bug before last update. I will keep searching and update here with what i find.

[IliasN]

This is the culprit.

[IliasN]

Maybe it shouldn't be closed gonna leave it until dev closes it

[jorge-barreto]

Just wanting to report the same issue here re: tztime. My workaround was to include the format_time in the format field.

from something like this:

tztime local {
  format = "<span color='#000000' background='#33b3a6'> %time </span>"
  format_time = "%a %-d %b %I:%M %p"
}

to something like this:

tztime local {
  format = "<span color='#000000' background='#33b3a6'> %a %-d %b %I:%M %p </span>"
}
