according to research (Jakob Nielsen '93), roughly 0.1s is what is
required for the user to feel "instantaneous".
based on this, rate-limit updates to only once per ~0.03s (0.1 felt
really laggy for me, so let's be conservative)
Falls in the "meant well, but doesn't really make sense" category: When
the volume exceeds 100%, the widget was shown in "critical" state. Some
headsets, audio cards, etc. do require a high volume setting, however.
And anyhow, it's really up to the user.
fixes#913
add a boolean flag ("adjust") to redshift that allows the user to have
bumblebee-status actually perform the color adjustment (by invoking
redshift in "one-shot" node).
Note that this only updates the color value each time the redshift
module is updated (every 10s, by default), and likely will collide with
any running redshift process.
fixes#908
Added location_info() to util/location API to return a dict of all location information. Updated modules/contrib/publicip to use that API. Changed modules/contrib/publicip refresh period back to 60 minutes. Changed /util/location API from 'country_name' back to 'name'
Added another API endpoint, Added options to display country name, country code, city name and lat/long coordinates, attempt to handle failure to fetch info from API endpoints cleanly
I run the same bumblebee-status configuration on my laptop and my
workstation. On my laptop, the upower module works fine: it says "ac"
when plugged in, charging, all that stuff is great.
But on my workstation, it's completely broken: it thinks there's a
battery (which is a mistake: there is no battery at all, apart maybe
from the CMOS battery, but that's not covered by upower), and it
thinks it's discharged, which makes a very noisy warning in the bar.
Now maybe there's something wrong with dbus, Debian, the kernel,
Linux, or some thing else in the stack. All I know is that
`self.power.get_display_device()` returns something like a valid
dbus object here and from there it confuses the heck out of the
module.
So this just adds a function to check if the actual device we're
talking about is actually present, and bails earlier otherwise.
Before: battery logo and "0% 00:00m!", all marked as critical ("red")
After: "ac" with the plugged in logo, not marked critical ("black")
* util.popup requires tkinter to be installed (in order to display
popups). As most people will probably use the default configuration
of the pulseaudio module (where the popup is disabled) and in order
to avoid breaking existing setups, we catch import errors and just log
them.
* added possibility to show currently selected default device in the
statusbar (default: off)
* allows to override the left mouse button click with a different
action (e.g open popup menu to change the current default device)
This reverts commit eb51a3c1c7, reversing
changes made to c57daf65ce.
Instead of creating a separate module, the changes will be integrated
into the pulseaudio module.
