You're confusing a few things here. lifebar is a standalone bar.
i3blocks, however, is not a bar, but just a data provider for i3bar (so
it replaces i3status, not i3bar). This also means that "i3blocks has
tray support" doesn't really make sense, because the tray support comes
from i3bar, not i3blocks.
Also, lifebar seems like a really early-stage project from the looks of
it. There are plenty other bars which are more widespread, such as dzen2
or lemonbar.

Bienvenido!
You might be as well interested in these projects too as they bring
extended usability to this babe:
[0] j4-dmenu-desktop: only shows applications that have a .destkop file;
also it is almost several times faster than traditional dmenu (pops out
almost instantly);
[1] lifebar: a neat, ready to use status bar replacement. Please note that
at the moment it lacks support for the system tray;
[2] quickswitch-i3: super practical tool that lets you quickly locate and
switch to any window in all your desktops;
[3] i3blocks: a nimble status bar replacement, allows for deep
customization and extendability. It has a built-in system tray.
Now you do have something to play with this Sunday :)

I have been a happy bunny playing with the configuration
<https://github.com/mimosinnet/i3wm_config> so it maps my (not so
different) FVWM config and contributed to i3tree
<https://github.com/mimosinnet/i3tree> (it did not work for me), after
reading
on it in the list
<http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.window-managers.i3.general/469>. I
must say I am very impressed and very much agree with the underlying
principles guiding I3.
Thanks for this great piece of software!
Cheers!
