# Microphone state widget/watcher
|
|
|
|
This widget can be used to display the current microphone status.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- `amixer` - this command is used to get and toggle microphone state
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
- Download [mic.lua](https://awesomewm.org/recipes/mic.lua) file and put it into awesome's
|
|
folder (like `~/.config/awesome/widgets/mic.lua`)
|
|
|
|
- Add widget to `theme.lua`:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
local widgets = {
|
|
mic = require("widgets/mic"),
|
|
}
|
|
theme.mic = widgets.mic({
|
|
timeout = 10,
|
|
settings = function(self)
|
|
if self.state == "muted" then
|
|
self.widget:set_image(theme.widget_micMuted)
|
|
else
|
|
self.widget:set_image(theme.widget_micUnmuted)
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
})
|
|
local widget_mic = wibox.widget { theme.mic.widget, layout = wibox.layout.align.horizontal }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Create a shortcut to toggle microphone state (add to `rc.lua`):
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
-- Toggle microphone state
|
|
awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "m",
|
|
function ()
|
|
beautiful.mic:toggle()
|
|
end,
|
|
{description = "Toggle microphone (amixer)", group = "Hotkeys"}
|
|
),
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- You can also add a command to mute the microphone state on boot. Add this to your `rc.lua`:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
-- Mute microphone on boot
|
|
beautiful.mic:mute()
|
|
```
|
