* cpu+memory: Open "gnome-system-monitor"
* disk: Open nautilus
* pulseaudio: Mute/unmute, open "pavucontrol" on right-click, raise/lower
volume on mouse wheel up/down
Pass the "output" object to the modules' constructor to allow them to
define their own callbacks.
Any user-provided callbacks take precedence and override those of the
module.
Allow a user to specify click events with the following format:
-e "<module name><splitter><button ID><splitter><command to execute>"
for example:
-e "disk::1::nautilus {instance}"
The i3 output now has a separate thread that continuously monitors stdin
for incoming click events. The generic output class also has methods for
registering callbacks (as commands). For now, by default, scroll events
will be used to emulate the next/previous workspace.
Add a module that periodically (by default, once every 30min) calls
"dnf updateinfo" and evaluates the results to report the number of
bugfixes, enhancements, etc.
If there's either too many pending updates, or at least one security
update, the module goes critical.
Add a module that retrieve mute status and volume (left, right, mono)
from pulseaudio. Unfortunately, this module is really, really hacky. It
invokes "pactl" multiple times to get the status and does some ugly
parsing on the output.
Overall, this is pretty brittle and prone to failure, but as I was not
able to find a decent pulseaudio library for Python... Probably, I
haven't searched hard enough, cannot believe such a thing does not
exist.
Add a new module "disk" that takes an optional parameter (the path) and
displays free & total disk space, along with the usage percentage.
Also, added Tunnel/VPN support to the themeing of the "net" module.
First, cache lookups were bugged... Second, the output needs to call
data() first, everything else later.
This is a bit nasty, and I'll consider re-visiting this, but right now,
I don't see any other way, given that modules can now be iterated.
Add a module that displays the status of all NICs (interface name, list
of IPs and state).
In its status, it also exposes whether it's a WiFi or a wired NIC.
For this functionality, additional code was implemented to allow a
module to add multiple elements to the bar at once. The framework calls
the module until its "next()" method return False.
Add functionality to provide lists of values for individual elements of
a theme (e.g. the prefix) and those will be cycled for each call.
This can be used, for example, to show a "charging" symbol for the
battery that continuously goes throw all the battery stages to "animate"
the charging icon.
Font and background colors for warning and critical elements can now be
specified using fg-warning, fg-critical, bg-warning and bg-critical.
Also, optionally, the "urgent" flag will be set towards the i3bar, if
possible.
Format string for strftime is now configurable. Also, changed the
separator for module name vs. arguments to "::" to make it possible to
have ":" as part of the strftime format string (which is useful in most
cases).
Eventually, I'll probably have to come up with a better way, i.e. a
fully-fledged parser, and move away from "special characters", but right
now, the effort seems too much for the gain.
It is now possible to add a list of theme configurations in the
"default" section called "cycle". These configuration items will be
cycled through module by module. to create "alternate style" effects.
This is *only* possible in the "default" configuration part, but any
module-specific configurations still take precedence.
Also, removed the capability of per-widget themes. That simply
complicates things and probably doesn't really bring any benefits.
Add the possibility to configure custom separators in the theme file.
These will only be used if the default i3bar separators have been
disabled. Background color will always be taken from the previous
element (to work nicely with my long-term plan, a powerline-like status
line).
Module themes (only!) can now contain state-specific theme information -
for example, the "battery" module has different states for charging and
discharging, and those can have different prefix and postfix
configurations to indicate what is going on.
Individual items in the bar can now be configured with a prefix and a
suffix. It works like this:
* If there is a specific module configuration in the theme
configuration, use that (i.e. { "<modulename>": { "prefix: " a " } })
* Otherwise, if there is a configuration in the "default" section of the
theme, use that
* Otherwise, if the module object itself has a method called like the
required attribute (prefix, suffix), use that
* Otherwise, leave prefix/suffix empty ("")
