This is a little bit different config.

This config setup contains 8 different files -

• config-bottom.ini       // bottom bar config
  
• modules.ini                // all standard modules
  
• user_modules.ini      // all user created modules
  
• bars.ini                       // all bar modules config
  
• test-bars.ini               // test bar for all bar modules
  
• A Scripts DIR           // contains scripts used in config
  

How To Use : Put all these files in /home/$USER/.config/polybar/ and execute launch.sh to start the polybar or add this script to your WM startup file.
