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

# small stuff
- rethink documentation (use mostly md files)
- @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
- 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
- Add module that indicates arbitrary errors that occurred (via eventing)

## TODO
- theme: `load` vs. `__load` vs. `load_keywords`
- themes: use colors to improve theme readability
- brightness: read from CLI tools

[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)`
[doc] Update notes 2020-03-29 13:56:43 +02:00			`- API documentation`
			`- github pages`
[tests/event] Add some more tests for trigger-time args 2020-04-04 08:44:41 +02:00			`- Add module that indicates arbitrary errors that occurred (via eventing)`
[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] Add small reminder about brightness 2020-03-29 14:13:12 +02:00			`- brightness: read from CLI tools`
