Supports

It is possible to customize widget by providing a table with all or some of the following config parameters:

Name	Default	Description

bg_color	#ffffff11	Color of the arc's background
mute_color	beautiful.fg_urgent	Color of the arc when mute
path_to_icon	/usr/share/icons/Arc/status/symbolic/audio-volume-muted-symbolic.svg	Path to the icon
thickness	2	The arc thickness
height	beautiful.fg_normal	Widget height
get_volume_cmd	amixer -D pulse sget Master	Get current volume level

dec_volume_cmd	amixer -D pulse sset Master 5%-	Decrease volume level
tog_volume_cmd	amixer -D pulse sset Master toggle	Mute / unmute

Example:

volumearc_widget({
    main_color = '#af13f7',
