Installation

  1. Clone this repo under ~/.config/awesome/

    git clone https://github.com/streetturtle/awesome-wm-widgets.git ~/.config/awesome/

  2. Require volumearc widget at the beginning of rc.lua:

    local volumearc_widget = require("awesome-wm-widgets.volumearc-widget.volumearc")

  3. Add widget to the tasklist:

    s.mytasklist, -- Middle widget
    { -- Right widgets
        layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
        ...
        volumearc_widget,
        ...

Control volume

To mute/unmute click on the widget. To increase/decrease volume scroll up or down when mouse cursor is over the widget.

If you want to control volume level by keyboard shortcuts add following lines in shortcut section of the rc.lua (the commands could be slightly different depending on your PC configuration):

awful.key({ modkey}, "[", function () awful.spawn("amixer -D pulse sset Master 5%-") end, {description = "increase volume", group = "custom"}),
awful.key({ modkey}, "]", function () awful.spawn("amixer -D pulse sset Master 5%+") end, {description = "decrease volume", group = "custom"}),
awful.key({ modkey}, "\", function () awful.spawn("amixer -D pulse set Master +1 toggle") end, {description = "mute volume", group = "custom"}),
