For some reason I can't get the pipes in the index_format to join together vertically, even using the same font (Tamsyn).

Try copying this symbol: │

@theGunslinger: I put in my home a file named .netrc with this in it:

But i don't know how to handle multiple accounts...Maybe anyone here does know how to do...

I hacked a version of the gmail widget to take an argument that is the path to a netrc-type file: here.  It's not entirely elegant, and there may be a way to define multiple gmail accounts in the same (default) netrc file, but I didn't look into that.

You construct the widget like this in your rc.lua:

require ("gmail.lua")

mygmail = widget ({ type = "textbox" })
vicious.register (mygmail, vicious.widgets.gmail_custom, 
function (widget, args)
--formatting fuction of your choice
end, 300, { netrcfile = "/path/to/netrc_file", inbox = "/path/to/inbox_file" })

There are 3 lines in the function that write the inbox to a local file (the "inbox" argument above); if you have no use for this (I use it so I can check the subject lines of waiting messages), just comment these out:

local fout = io.open (warg.inbox)
    fout:write (f:read ("*a"), "w+")
    fout:close ()

Nice! Could you share you hard drive widget?

@ibrunton: your widget doesn't work for me...i don't know why, when i restart awesome it comes back to the default settings (blue shit zenburn theme)

I'd like to create a tooltip for the battery widget that shows me the output of "acpi -V" when i go with the mouse over it...i don't know how to do...is there anyone who could make it for me please?

I wrote a battery widget, among others, that display infos on mouse over.
It looks like this:

And here be da code:

batinfo:add_signal('mouse::leave', function () clearinfo(showbatinfos) end)

-- Assign a hook to update info
activebat_timer = timer({timeout = 1})
activebat_timer:add_signal("timeout", function ()
batinfo.text = "BAT: " .. activebat(path) .. " |" end)
activebat_timer:start()

I requires some clean up but I haven't had time for it yet.

So for you, the relevant part is this:

batinfo:add_signal('mouse::enter', function () dispinfo(path) end)
batinfo:add_signal('mouse::leave', function () clearinfo(showbatinfos) end)

You just need to write your own dispinfo function that would call "acpi -V". Something like this:

local function dispinfo()
	local f, infos
	local capi = {
		mouse = mouse,
		screen = screen
	}

	f = io.popen("acpi -V")
	infos = f:read("*all")
	f:close()

	showbatinfo = naughty.notify( {
		title	= "Battery infos (acpi -V)",
		text	= infos,
		timeout	= 0,
		screen	= capi.mouse.screen })
end

I hope it helps. wink

By the way, if you need some inspiration, have a look at my widget's repository. wink

remove "require("precious.utils")" (think its not necessary), paste it in your rc.lua, add batinfo to your wibox or assign it to an existing one. (didnt tested)

Re: Share your Awesome(WM) desktop!

This conversation should maybe be split off as it is getting a bit off-topic.

However, here is how you should proceed if you plan to use my widget:
- navigate to $HOME/.config/awesome
- clone the precious repository using this command: git clone git://gw-computing.net/precious.git
- add this somewhere into your rc.lua: require("precious.battery")

However, I need to spend some time working on my widgets in order to make them more generic so anyone can include them easily into their awesome wm's configuration. So this means you maybe want to tweak it a bit. In this case, don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. wink

Hey there, you can use one widget for this with format string:" fmtstart..' Hd: '..fmtend.."${/ used_p}% (${/ used_gb}GB)"
Or alternatively enable caching of this widget type so it is executed only once for all fs widgets on all screens:
vicious.cache(vicious.widgets.fs)


You need to install an RTFM interface.

Re: Share your Awesome(WM) desktop!

I'm very happy with this setup. I've relied on a few ideas expressed in this forum, so thank you all. I have also removed the system tray in lieu of custom Synergy, Skype, and Wifi icons. Also, I use the run_or_raise command to launch (minimize) skype and launch an n-curses version of Wicd. Also, bringing up the menu allows you to switch to an HDMI setup and mirror or expand the screen.

Re: Share your Awesome(WM) desktop!

Hello everyone. The last three posts asked me to share my skype / wicd icon setup. As I mentioned, these use the run_or_raise command. @TheImmortalPhoenix, this basically does the following: using a key-combination or a mouse click on an icon, you can launch a program (hence run), or, if it is already running, by using the same key-combination or mouse click on said icon, it will hide the program if it's visible, and if it's not visible, it will make it visible (hence raise). In other words, it's similar to minimizing, but with the ability to start a client (program) if it's not running already. You can read more information at http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Run_or_raise. What this allows you to do is to completely remove the system tray widget and replace it with custom icons. Which leads me to answer @flexo3001 and @theGunslinger.

What I did with Skype and Wicd is as follows. I created custom Skype and Wicd widgets which look something like this.

-- Skypewidget
skypewidget = widget({ type = "textbox" })

local function skypeInfo ()
        local fpid = io.popen("pgrep -u " .. os.getenv("USER") .. " -o skype")
        local pid = fpid:read("*n")
        fpid:close()

        if pid == nil then
                skypewidget.bg_image = image("/home/mtrokic/.config/awesome/icons/skype.png")
        else
                skypewidget.bg_image = image("/home/mtrokic/.config/awesome/icons/skype_active.png")
        end
end

skypeInfo()
skypetimer = timer({ timeout = 5 })
skypetimer:add_signal("timeout", function() skypewidget.text = skypeInfo() end)
skypetimer:start()

skypewidget:buttons(awful.util.table.join(
   awful.button({ }, 1, function () run_or_raise("skype", { class = "Skype" }) end)
))

What the above widget does is as follows. Every five seconds the widget uses the first few lines of code to poll running processes to see if Skype is running. If it is not, the widget just produces a white Skype icon which I took from the AwokenWhite Icon set. If it is running, then it produces a golden Skype icon which I basically obtained by overlaying the white Skype icon with a golden fill in Gimp. Moreover, as you can see in the last lines, I can launch Skype by simply clicking on its icon.

A similar setup works with Wicd. Every five seconds the widget polls to see if I am connected to the internet. If I am not, it returns white icons. If I am, it returns golden icons. Similarly, clicking on the wifi icon launches a terminal with the n-curses Wicd.

-- Network
netwidget = widget({type = "textbox" })

function netInfo ()
        local fconnect = io.popen("grep nameserver /etc/resolv.conf")
        local fdevice = io.popen("grep dhcpcd /etc/resolv.conf | awk '{print $6}'")
        local connect = fconnect:read()
        local device = fdevice:read()
        fconnect:close()
        fdevice:close()
        if connect == nil then
                netwidget.bg_image = image("/home/mtrokic/.config/awesome/icons/network_offline.png")
        else
                if device == "eth0" then
                        netwidget.bg_image = image("/home/mtrokic/.config/awesome/icons/network_wired.png")
                elseif device == "wlan0" then
                        netwidget.bg_image = image("/home/mtrokic/.config/awesome/icons/network_wireless.png")
                else
                        netwidget.bg_image = image("/home/mtrokic/.config/awesome/icons/network_offline.png")
                end
        end
end

netInfo()
nettimer = timer({ timeout = 5 })
nettimer:add_signal("timeout", function() netwidget.text = netInfo() end)
nettimer:start()

netwidget:buttons(awful.util.table.join( awful.button({ }, 1,
        function () awful.util.spawn("urxvt -e wicd-curses") end)
))

I hope this answers your questions. If you want access to all my config files, you can visit my website underneath my alias and go to the Linux page. From there you can download a TAR file of my entire awesome setup.
