*Panel / Bar:*
Lots of redditors are also using some sort panel or bar in the configuration which displays all sorts of information such as the time, volume, even the current song playing.

I personally use [urxvt](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Rxvt-unicode), or rxvt-unicode, which I think works very well with window managers and is very customizable through the .Xresource file in your home directory. The terminal is a very important part of a good ricing and is very
