instead of terminating the whole status bar when an error occurs, just
show a (truncated) error for that single widget.
this should also enable auto-recovery if the module returns to a "good"
state, but that hasn't been tested yet.
see #221 and #222
Use generic interval mechanism in most of the modules that use slow
updates.
Only exception: getcrypto, as the interval is specified in seconds there
and I want to retain backwards-compatibility.
fixes#220
Add a generic mechanism to set a specific interval (in minutes, as this
is primarily intended for modules that want to "slow down" updates).
This gives *all* modules the parameter "interval" and allows each module
to set the default interval using the method "interval(<value>) in the
module constructor.
see #220
In order to use symbol files, symbol.json needs to be created manually
now.
Also, remove symbol usage from the prepackaged themes to avoid
breakage.
fixes#216
Redshift might block when no network connectivity is available (if it
tries to determine the location automatically). To avoid this blocking
the whole status line, immediately release the lock in the query thread.
Theme writers are now able to use FontAwesome names and IDs instead of
the symbols itself!
The implementation itself is *slightly* hacky and might get improved in
the future: Upon the first start, a YAML file containing the FontAwesome
symbols is fetched from
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/master/src/icons.yml
Note: This is only done once - to retrigger this (i.e. for an update),
please just delete the file and restart bumblebee-status.
Then, in the *icon* theme itself, you can use ${<name or id>} instead of
the actual symbol.
Names and IDs can be found here:
http://fontawesome.io/cheatsheet/
(simply remove the "fa-" prefix)
An example is provided in themes/icons/awesome-fonts.json.
(finally) fixes#20
sorry for taking so long :)
Move updating of redshift information into a separate thread so that
errors like missing network connectivity do not block the whole status
bar.
fixes#61
Do not print any debugging messages unless "-d" has been specified on
the commandline.
Also, introduce two "special" logfiles "stdout" and "stderr" to log to
stdout and stderr, respectively.
fixes#213
List themes only once, even if they are present multiple times in
different locations.
(Yes, I know that list(set(result)) would do the same, but here, I'd
like to not waste memory and be a bit faster).
see #203
Finally fix the datetime import errors by renaming the bumblebee
datetime module (*bad* idea from the start).
Apologies to everyone for whom it now breaks.
This modules makes it very easy to create shortcuts as widgets, for which the user can define the command to be executed when left clicking on it. It supports single or multiple shortcuts
