Polybar's powerful yet simple DSL allows for extensive customization
while remaining
relatively easy to write and understand.
Here is an example of a basic date/time module that will display current date and time
in 1970-01-01 - 00:00 format, with an update interval of one second.
[module/datetime]
type = internal/date
interval = 1.0
date = "%Y-%m-%d%"
time = "%H:%M"
label = "%date% - %time%"
