New memory check about i3blocks HOT 7 CLOSED

It looks great! Note: it'll be more relevant to use $! instead of $? to have the error message instead of the returned code in die() ;)

Oh damn that's a shame! I think this is the same on the other as well

@lionelnicolas uses this in his screen session:

free | awk '/buffers\/cache:/ {printf "ram: %.2f/%.2fGo (%.0f%%)", $3/1048576, ($3 + $4)/1048576, 100*$3/($3 + $4)}'

(you can try it directly in a command= property)
What do you think?

Nice awk tweak, however there's no colorization with it and no swap information :-(

Any news?

The script looks fine. However, I'm not sure about the utf-8 char.

It looks nice, but it doesn't seem obvious that what block is about. The fraction notation might be confusing as well. What do you think about the "MEM/SWAP:" prefix?

As explained on that issue: #13, on little resolution, if we add text on each checks, it is not possible to show everything. In my use case, I got the issue on a vertical oriented screen.

So what I suggest is to add an extra argument in the check to replace text by icon. It permit to know exactly what it correspond to at the beginning and then have easily the possibility to change text by icon. What do you think?

Regarding the icon choice, they are aligned as the icon on a motherboard (https://www.google.fr/search?q=RAM+motherboard&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:fr:official&channel=sb&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=wsNUU4yRGMTZOu6-gYgF&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1536&bih=770). That's why I've choose that icon. If you find a better one, please provide ones.
