# 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?)
- use __ for private?

# Features

## Backwards-compatibility
- aliases
- charts (braille)
- minimize modules
- hide modules if not in warning/error state (-a)
- WAL support / colorscheme support
- tkinter / popups
- scrolling decorator (incl. minwidth, alignment)

## Improvements
- pango output (improve - maybe autodetect? see #531)
- allow handlers to specify whether to update or not (e.g. scroll)
- error handling: don't catch too many exceptions in a module (pulseaudio!), instead, propagate them as error widgets

[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/module] Add error widgets if a module throws Module should have to care less about thrown exceptions. 2020-03-01 14:08:16 +01:00			`- error handling: don't catch too many exceptions in a module (pulseaudio!), instead, propagate them as error widgets`
