# Design
- core: only PSL
- pass if modules are missing
- minimize dependencies, code
- test everything
- think about pylint

# small stuff
- rethink documentation (wiki vs. in-code)
- @parameter? (or was it @attribute?) - remove getter/setters
- use __ for private?

# Features
- new themeing? (and add a "version" for backwards compat?)

## Backwards-compatibility
- aliases
- charts (braille)
- minimize modules
- WAL support / colorscheme support
- tkinter / popups
- scrolling decorator (incl. minwidth, alignment)
- theme.exclude??
- bumblebee-ctrl

## Improvements
- generalize the battery/hbar/vbar concept
- pango output (improve - maybe autodetect? see #531)
- allow handlers to specify whether to update or not (e.g. scroll)
- API documentation
- github pages

## TODO
- theme: `load` vs. `__load` vs. `load_keywords`
- themes: use colors to improve theme readability
- brightness: read from CLI tools
- input: use events?
- themes: rotating icons (battery!)

[doc] Update notes Add more stuff that needs to be considered for backwards compatibility 2020-01-26 13:59:11 +01:00			`- aliases`
[core] Add (partial) support for states Add states to the modules and widgets. Widgets are mostly just a pass-through (backwards compatibility, and ease of use - making states directly inside the widgets would require more code inside the modules to ensure that each widget is correctly updated). Still missing: - Separators during partial update (right now, it takes one interval until separators are drawn correctly) 2020-02-23 21:13:49 +01:00			`- charts (braille)`

[core/theme\|output] Add separators Add a way for themes to specify custom separators. Doing that, make nicer interfaces for drawing "supplementary" components (separators) for widgets and generalize the attribute retrieval within the theme. 2020-02-22 13:42:44 +01:00			`- scrolling decorator (incl. minwidth, alignment)`

[core/output] Move widget/module handling inside output The core.output module now manages the list of modules and retrieves the widgets inside draw() itself. That way, details of drawing/updating widgets are not visible from the outside anymore. 2020-02-02 14:18:13 +01:00			`- allow handlers to specify whether to update or not (e.g. scroll)`

[core] Re-enable WAL support Implement a generic "load keywords and replace during runtime" mechanism, with the first concrete use-case of WAL colors (load them during startup, and during runtime, whenever a matching name is found in the keywords, replace with the actual color) 2020-03-08 14:18:10 +01:00
			`## TODO`
[doc] Update notes 2020-03-29 13:56:43 +02:00			- theme: `load` vs. `__load` vs. `load_keywords`
[modules/xrandr] Adapt to new API 2020-03-13 13:56:08 +01:00			`- themes: use colors to improve theme readability`
[doc] Add small reminder about brightness 2020-03-29 14:13:12 +02:00			`- brightness: read from CLI tools`
[core/input] __ for private variables, use id as property 2020-03-29 14:43:04 +02:00			`- input: use events?`
[core/theme] Fix retrieval of rotating theme values (e.g. battery) When rotating theme values (e.g. the "charge" icon of the battery module(s)), until now, the code just showed the raw list (because it wasn't aware of the need to rotate). 2020-04-02 12:51:08 +02:00			`- themes: rotating icons (battery!)`
