# Volume widget
|
|
|
|
Simple and easy-to-install widget for Awesome Window Manager which represents the sound level: 
|
|
|
|
Note that widget uses the Arc icon theme, so it should be [installed](https://github.com/horst3180/arc-icon-theme#installation) first under **/usr/share/icons/Arc/** folder.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
- clone/copy **volume.lua** file;
|
|
|
|
- include `volume.lua` and add volume widget to your wibox in rc.lua:
|
|
|
|
{% highlight lua %}
|
|
require("volume")
|
|
...
|
|
s.mytasklist, -- Middle widget
|
|
{ -- Right widgets
|
|
layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
|
|
...
|
|
volume_widget,
|
|
...
|
|
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
|
|
## 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):
|
|
|
|
{% highlight lua %}
|
|
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"}),
|
|
{% endhighlight %} |
