This document explains the protocol in which i3bar expects its input. It provides support for colors, urgency, shortening and easy manipulation. 1. Rationale for choosing JSON.

HOW DO I SUSPEND,LOCKSCREEN AND LOGOUT? 10 answers. To lock your screen, you can use any screen locker, such as i3lock. To logout, press Mod+shift+e (like exit).

Find out what the default notification daemon's name is (if you do not already know it) Here, a ps aux | grep noti might help.
