How to place i3bar on top?

Question

How can I set i3bar of i3 window manager on top of the screen rather than being placed on its default position, that is bottom.

I tried to examine the ~/.config/i3/config file but couldn't work it out by myself.

Answer 1

You need to add position top

bar {
        position top
[original contents of "bar" goes here]
}

After adding this, you will need to refresh which is mod (windows key) + shift + r (unless you have changed it from the default).
