Great stuff. Thanks.

cool script,

zowki · 2009-12-29 05:41:23

What advantage does this program have over the perl version?

A lot cleaner, very stable script.
Displays different information.
Option to choose colors.
Option to screenshot.
Python is awesome

Well, the newest git pull does not work. It fails with the following message:

Have you configured it? If yes, can you pastebin the code?

Ashren · 2009-12-29 09:13:25

I haven't configured it - am I supposed to? I got the package from Aur. It also throws the same error with when I use the -c switch.

Hmm.. Its quite odd. I'll look into it right now.

Edit: Figured out the problem, you don't have X running. I suppose you can comment out 'de_or_wm' as a quick fix. Once I have time I'll fix that function.

Fixed it.

Just reinstall it from the AUR.

Also the reason you might have received that error was because your WM isn't included in the script, please tell me the name of your WM so I may add it.

Are you running this within gnu screen and set the text mode environment on in your screenrc? If so just comment out that line in your screenrc and it should work.

Ashren · 2009-12-30 08:46:41

Melik: Thanks for the update. The script now works and xmonad gets detected after uncommenting "wm" in archey.

I think i'm going to remove de_or_wm and leave a seperate one for 'de' and 'wm'.

People can just comment out 'de' if they don't use it

Here are some ideas for you:
- replace hard coded Arch Linux label with /etc/*version and /etc/*release
- read logo from an external file for simpler support of other distros
- add GTK theme, icons theme and fonts support from ~/.gtkrc*
- add acpitool support to battery along with acpi, or even better calculate your self
- replace scrot with more common imagemagick import and convert

I think the script should use pgrep instead of ps -A | grep

Yeah thats the problem with xmonad

The actual name of the process varies so it throws me off, i'm still thinking of a way to fix it

pgrep xmonad.

Note the period as a wildcard in the end.

Regex slows the script down a lot, i'd rather stay away from it.
