# Volumebar widget
|
|
|
|
Almost the same as volume widget, but more minimalistic:
|
|
|
|
{:.center-image}
|
|
|
|
Supports
|
|
- scroll up - increase volume,
|
|
- scroll down - decrease volume,
|
|
- left click - mute/unmute.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
1. Clone this repo under **~/.config/awesome/**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/streetturtle/awesome-wm-widgets.git ~/.config/awesome/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Require volumearc widget at the beginning of **rc.lua**:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
local volumebar_widget = require("awesome-wm-widgets.volumebar-widget.volumebar")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Add widget to the tasklist:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
s.mytasklist, -- Middle widget
|
|
{ -- Right widgets
|
|
layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
|
|
...
|
|
volumebar_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):
|
|
|
|
```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"}),
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
If the bar is not showing up, try to decrease top or bottom margin - widget uses hardcoded margins for vertical alignment, so if your wibox is too small then bar is simply hidden by the margins.
