Ashley 1fa4dc3508 Add instant update to volume graphic upon changes 
Added functionality to audio widget so the graphic updates immediately when you modify the volume through it, rather than taking up to a second to reflect changes.

Additionally made some minor changes to code to make it more consistent.

Volume widget

Simple and easy-to-install widget for Awesome Window Manager which represents the sound level: Volume Widget

Note that widget uses the Arc icon theme, so it should be installed 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:

require("volume")
...
s.mytasklist, -- Middle widget
	{ -- Right widgets
    	layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
		...
		volume_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"}),
