## Installation
|
|
|
|
First you need to have spotify CLI installed, it uses dbus to communicate with spotify-client:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://gist.github.com/fa6258f3ff7b17747ee3.git
|
|
cd ./fa6258f3ff7b17747ee3
|
|
chmod +x sp
|
|
# This widget will work by default if the binary is in the system PATH
|
|
sudo cp ./sp /usr/local/bin/
|
|
# Alternatively, you may save the binary anywhere and supply the path via this widget's sp_bin argument:
|
|
# cp ./sp ~/.config/awesome/scripts/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then clone repo under **~/.config/awesome/** and add widget in **rc.lua**:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
local spotify_widget = require("awesome-wm-widgets.spotify-widget.spotify")
|
|
...
|
|
s.mytasklist, -- Middle widget
|
|
{ -- Right widgets
|
|
layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
|
|
...
|
|
-- default
|
|
spotify_widget(),
|
|
-- customized
|
|
spotify_widget({
|
|
font = 'Ubuntu Mono 9',
|
|
play_icon = '/usr/share/icons/Papirus-Light/24x24/categories/spotify.svg',
|
|
pause_icon = '/usr/share/icons/Papirus-Dark/24x24/panel/spotify-indicator.svg'
|
|
}),
|
|
...
|
|
```
