# <center> 🌟 Bling - Utilities for AwesomeWM 🌟 </center>
|

|

## ❓ Why
|
||||
## Why
|
||||
|
||||
AwesomeWM is literally that - an awesome window manager.
|
||||
[AwesomeWM](https://awesomewm.org/) is literally what it stands for, an awesome window manager.
|
||||
|
||||
It's unique selling point has always been the widget system allowing for fancy buttons, sliders, bars, dashboards and everything you can imagine. But that feature might also be a curse. Most modules focus on the widget side of things which left the actual window managing part of awesomeWM a little underdeveloped compared to for example xmonad even though it's probably just as powerfull in that regard.

Its unique selling point has always been the widget system, which allows for fancy buttons, sliders, bars, dashboards and anything you can imagine. But that feature can be a curse. Most modules focus on the widget side of things which leave the actual window managing part of AwesomeWM underdeveloped compared to, for example, [xmonad](https://xmonad.org/) even though it's probably just as powerfull in that area.
|
||||
|
||||
This module is trying to fix exactly that: Adding new layouts and modules that - while making use of the widget system - don't focus on it but on new window managing features.
|
||||
This project focuses on that problem - adding new layouts and modules that make use of the widget system, but primarily focus on the new window managing features.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🧭 Installation and configuration
|
||||
- `git clone` this repo into your `~/.config/awesome` folder
|
||||
- Put ``local bling = require("bling")`` somewhere in your ``rc.lua`` (remember to put it under ``beautiful.init...``)
|
||||
|
||||
##### 📎 Layouts
|
||||
|
||||
Choose layouts from the list below and add them to to your `awful.layouts` list in your `rc.lua`.
|
||||
|
||||
Everyone of them supports multiple master clients and master width factor making them as easily useable as the default layouts.
|
||||
```Lua
|
||||
bling.layout.mstab
|
||||
bling.layout.centered
|
||||
bling.layout.vertical
|
||||
bling.layout.horizontal
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### 😋 Window swallowing
|
||||
|
||||
To activate and deactivate window swallowing there are the following functions. If you want to activate it, just call the `start` function once in your `rc.lua`.
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
bling.module.window_swallowing.start() -- activates window swallowing
|
||||
bling.module.window_swallowing.stop() -- deactivates window swallowing
|
||||
bling.module.window_swallowing.toggle() -- toggles window swallowing
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### 🏬 Tiled Wallpaper
|
||||
|
||||
The function to set an automatically created tiled wallpaper can be called the follwing way (you don't need to set every option in the table of the last argument since there are reasonable defaults):
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
awful.screen.connect_for_each_screen(function(s) -- that way the wallpaper is applied to every screen
|
||||
bling.module.tiled_wallpaper("x", s, { -- call the actual function ("x" is the string that will be tiled)
|
||||
fg = "#ff0000", -- define the foreground color
|
||||
bg = "#00ffff", -- define the background color
|
||||
offset_y = 25, -- set a y offset
|
||||
offset_x = 25, -- set a x offset
|
||||
font = "Hack", -- set the font (without the size)
|
||||
font_size = 14, -- set the font size
|
||||
padding = 100, -- set padding (default is 100)
|
||||
zickzack = true -- rectangular pattern or criss cross
|
||||
})
|
||||
end)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### 🎇 Wallpaper easy setup
|
||||
|
||||
This is a simple-to-use, extensible, declarative wallpaper manager.
|
||||
|
||||
###### Practical examples
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
- clone this repo into your `~/.config/awesome` folder
|
||||
- `git clone https://github.com/Nooo37/bling.git ~/.config/awesome/bling`
|
||||
- require the module in your `rc.lua`, and make sure it's under the beautiful module initialization
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
-- A default Awesome wallpaper
|
||||
bling.module.wallpaper.setup()
|
||||
-- other imports
|
||||
|
||||
-- A slideshow with pictures from different sources changing every 30 minutes
|
||||
bling.module.wallpaper.setup {
|
||||
wallpaper = {"/images/my_dog.jpg", "/images/my_cat.jpg"},
|
||||
change_timer = 1800
|
||||
}
|
||||
local beautiful = require("beautiful")
|
||||
|
||||
-- A random wallpaper with images from multiple folders
|
||||
bling.module.wallpaper.setup {
|
||||
set_function = bling.module.wallpaper.setters.random
|
||||
wallpaper = {"/path/to/a/folder", "/path/to/another/folder"},
|
||||
change_timer = 631, -- prime numbers are better for timers
|
||||
position = "fit",
|
||||
background = "#424242"
|
||||
}
|
||||
-- other configuration stuff here
|
||||
|
||||
-- wallpapers based on a schedule, like awesome-glorious-widgets dynamic wallpaper
|
||||
-- https://github.com/manilarome/awesome-glorious-widgets/tree/master/dynamic-wallpaper
|
||||
bling.module.wallpaper.setup {
|
||||
set_function = wallpaper.setters.simple_schedule,
|
||||
wallpaper = {
|
||||
["06:22:00"] = "morning-wallpaper.jpg",
|
||||
["12:00:00"] = "noon-wallpaper.jpg",
|
||||
["17:58:00"] = "night-wallpaper.jpg",
|
||||
["24:00:00"] = "midnight-wallpaper.jpg",
|
||||
},
|
||||
position = "maximized",
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
-- random wallpapers, from different folder depending on time of the day
|
||||
bling.module.wallpaper.setup {
|
||||
set_function = bling.module.wallpaper.setters.simple_schedule,
|
||||
wallpaper = {
|
||||
["09:00:00"] = "~/Pictures/safe_for_work",
|
||||
["18:00:00"] = "~/Pictures/personal",
|
||||
},
|
||||
schedule_set_function = bling.module.wallpaper.setters.random
|
||||
position = "maximized",
|
||||
recursive = false,
|
||||
change_timer = 600
|
||||
}
|
||||
beautiful.init("some_theme.lua")
|
||||
local bling = require("bling")
|
||||
```
|
||||
###### Details
|
||||
|
||||
The setup function will do 2 things: call the set-function when awesome requests a wallpaper, and manage a timer to call `set_function` periodically.
|
||||
|
||||
Its argument is a args table that is passed to ohter functions (setters and wallpaper functions), so you define everything with setup.
|
||||
|
||||
The `set_function` is a function called every times a wallpaper is needed.
|
||||
|
||||
The module provides some setters:
|
||||
|
||||
* `bling.module.wallpaper.setters.awesome_wallpaper`: beautiful.theme_assets.wallpaper with defaults from beautiful.
|
||||
* `bling.module.wallpaper.setters.simple`: slideshow from the `wallpaper` argument.
|
||||
* `bling.module.wallpaper.setters.random`: same as simple but in a random way.
|
||||
* `bling.module.wallpaper.setters.simple_schedule`: takes a table of `["HH:MM:SS"] = wallpaper` arguments, where wallpaper is the `wallpaper` argument used by `schedule_set_function`.
|
||||
|
||||
A wallpaper is one of the following elements:
|
||||
|
||||
* a color
|
||||
* an image
|
||||
* a folder containing images
|
||||
* a function that sets a wallpaper
|
||||
* everything gears.wallpaper functions can manage (cairo surface, cairo pattern string)
|
||||
* a list containing any of the elements above
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
-- This is a valid wallpaper definition
|
||||
bling.module.wallpaper.setup {
|
||||
wallpaper = { -- a list
|
||||
"black", "#112233", -- colors
|
||||
"wall1.jpg", "wall2.png", -- files
|
||||
"/path/to/wallpapers", -- folders
|
||||
-- cairo patterns
|
||||
"radial:600,50,100:105,550,900:0,#2200ff:0.5,#00ff00:1,#101010",
|
||||
-- or functions that set a wallpaper
|
||||
function(args) bling.module.tiled_wallpaper("\\o/", args.screen) end,
|
||||
bling.module.wallpaper.setters.awesome_wallpaper,
|
||||
},
|
||||
change_timer = 10,
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
The provided setters `simple` and `random` will use 2 internal functions that you can use to write your own setter:
|
||||
|
||||
* `bling.module.wallpaper.prepare_list`: return a list of wallpapers directly usable by `apply` (for now, it just explores folders)
|
||||
* `bling.module.wallpaper.apply`: a wrapper for gears.wallpaper functions, using the args table of setup
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the defaults:
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
-- Default parameters
|
||||
bling.module.wallpaper.setup {
|
||||
screen = nil, -- the screen to apply the wallpaper, as seen in gears.wallpaper functions
|
||||
change_timer = nil, -- the timer in seconds. If set, call the set_function every change_timer seconds
|
||||
set_function = nil, -- the setter function
|
||||
|
||||
-- parameters used by bling.module.wallpaper.prepare_list
|
||||
wallpaper = nil, -- the wallpaper object, see simple or simple_schedule documentation
|
||||
image_formats = {"jpg", "jpeg", "png", "bmp"}, -- when searching in folder, consider these files only
|
||||
recursive = true, -- when searching in folder, search also in subfolders
|
||||
|
||||
-- parameters used by bling.module.wallpaper.apply
|
||||
position = nil, -- use a function of gears.wallpaper when applicable ("centered", "fit", "maximized", "tiled")
|
||||
background = beautiful.bg_normal or "black", -- see gears.wallpaper functions
|
||||
ignore_aspect = false, -- see gears.wallpaper.maximized
|
||||
offset = {x = 0, y = 0}, -- see gears.wallpaper functions
|
||||
scale = 1, -- see gears.wallpaper.centered
|
||||
|
||||
-- parameters that only apply to bling.module.wallpaper.setter.awesome (as a setter or as a wallpaper function)
|
||||
colors = { -- see beautiful.theme_assets.wallpaper
|
||||
bg = beautiful.bg_color, -- the actual default is this color but darkened or lightned
|
||||
fg = beautiful.fg_color,
|
||||
alt_fg = beautiful.fg_focus
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Check documentation in [module/wallpaper.lua](module/wallpaper.lua) for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
##### 🔦 Flash Focus
|
||||
|
||||
There are two ways you can use this module. You can just enable it by calling the `enable()` function:
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
bling.module.flash_focus.enable()
|
||||
```
|
||||
This connects to the focus signal of a client, which means that the flash focus will activate however you focus the client.
|
||||
|
||||
The other way is to call the function itself like this: `bling.module.flash_focus.flashfocus(someclient)`. This allows you to just activate on certain keybinds:
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
awful.key({modkey}, "Up",
|
||||
function()
|
||||
awful.client.focus.bydirection("up")
|
||||
bling.module.flash_focus.flashfocus(client.focus)
|
||||
end, {description = "focus up", group = "client"})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### 📑 Tabbing
|
||||
|
||||
You should bind these functions to keys in oder to use the tabbed module effectively:
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
bling.module.tabbed.pick() -- picks a client with your cursor to add to the tabbing group
|
||||
bling.module.tabbed.pop() -- removes the focused client from the tabbing group
|
||||
bling.module.tabbed.iter() -- iterates through the currently focused tabbing group
|
||||
bling.module.tabbed.pick_with_dmenu() -- picks a client with a dmenu application (defaults to rofi, other options can be set with a string parameter like "dmenu")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### 🌈 Theme variables
|
||||
You will find a list of all theme variables that are used in bling and comments on what they do in the `theme-var-template.lua` file - ready for you to copy them into your `theme.lua`. Theme variables are not only used to change the appearance of some features but also to adjust the functionality of some modules. So it is worth it to take a look at them.

## 📎 Layouts <!-- {docsify-ignore} -->
|
||||
|
||||
Choose layouts from the list below and add them to to your `awful.layouts` list in your `rc.lua`.
|
||||
|
||||
Everyone of them supports multiple master clients and master width factor making them easy to use.
|
||||
|
||||
The mstab layout uses the tab theme from the tabbed module.
|
||||
|
||||
```Lua
|
||||
bling.layout.mstab
|
||||
bling.layout.centered
|
||||
bling.layout.vertical
|
||||
bling.layout.horizontal
|
||||

theme.mstab_dont_resize_slaves = false -- whether the tabbed stack windows should be smaller than the
|
||||
-- currently focused stack window (set it to true if you use
|
||||
-- transparent terminals. False if you use shadows on solid ones
|
||||
theme.mstab_bar_padding = "default" -- how much padding there should be between clients and your tabbar
|
||||
-- by default it will adjust based on your useless gaps.
|
||||
-- If you want a custom value. Set it to the number of pixels (int)
|
||||
theme.mstab_border_radius = 0 -- border radius of the tabbar
|
||||
theme.mstab_bar_height = 40 -- height of the tabbar
|
||||
theme.mstab_tabbar_position = "top" -- position of the tabbar (mstab currently does not support left,right)
|
||||
theme.mstab_tabbar_style = "default" -- style of the tabbar ("default", "boxes" or "modern")

## 🔦 Flash Focus <!-- {docsify-ignore} -->
|
||||
|
||||
Flash focus does an opacity animation effect on a client when it is focused.
|
||||

|
||||
### Usage
|
||||
|
||||
There are two ways in which you can use this module. You can enable it by calling the `enable()` function:
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
bling.module.flash_focus.enable()
|
||||
```
|
||||
This connects to the focus signal of a client, which means that the flash focus will activate however you focus the client.
|
||||
|
||||
The other way is to call the function itself like this: `bling.module.flash_focus.flashfocus(someclient)`. This allows you to activate on certain keybinds like so:
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
awful.key({modkey}, "Up",
|
||||
function()
|
||||
awful.client.focus.bydirection("up")
|
||||
bling.module.flash_focus.flashfocus(client.focus)
|
||||
end, {description = "focus up", group = "client"})
|
||||
```
|
||||
### Theme Variables
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
theme.flash_focus_start_opacity = 0.6 -- the starting opacity
|
||||
theme.flash_focus_step = 0.01 -- the step of animation

## 😋 Window Swallowing <!-- {docsify-ignore} -->
|
||||
|
||||
Can your window manager swallow? It probably can...
|
||||
![](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/635625813143978012/769180910683684864/20-10-23-14-40-32.gif)

||||
*gif by [Nooo37](https://github.com/Nooo37)*
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage
|
||||
|
||||
To activate and deactivate window swallowing here are the following functions. If you want to activate it, just call the `start` function once in your `rc.lua`.
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
bling.module.window_swallowing.start() -- activates window swallowing
|
||||
bling.module.window_swallowing.stop() -- deactivates window swallowing
|
||||
bling.module.window_swallowing.toggle() -- toggles window swallowing
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Theme Variables
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
theme.dont_swallow_classname_list = {"firefox", "Gimp"} -- list of class names that should not be swallowed
|
||||
theme.dont_swallow_filter_activated = true -- whether the filter above should be active
|

```

|
||||
|
||||
### Usage
|
||||
|
||||
The function to set an automatically created tiled wallpaper can be called the following way (you don't need to set every option in the table):
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
awful.screen.connect_for_each_screen(function(s) -- that way the wallpaper is applied to every screen
|
||||
bling.module.tiled_wallpaper("x", s, { -- call the actual function ("x" is the string that will be tiled)
|
||||
fg = "#ff0000", -- define the foreground color
|
||||
bg = "#00ffff", -- define the background color
|
||||
offset_y = 25, -- set a y offset
|
||||
offset_x = 25, -- set a x offset
|
||||
font = "Hack", -- set the font (without the size)
|
||||
font_size = 14, -- set the font size
|
||||
padding = 100, -- set padding (default is 100)
|
||||
zickzack = true -- rectangular pattern or criss cross
|
||||
})
|
||||
end)
|
||||
```

## 🎇 Wallpaper Easy Setup <!-- {docsify-ignore} -->
|
||||
|
||||
This is a simple-to-use, extensible, declarative wallpaper manager.
|
||||
|
||||
### Practical Examples
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
-- A default Awesome wallpaper
|
||||
bling.module.wallpaper.setup()
|
||||
|
||||
-- A slideshow with pictures from different sources changing every 30 minutes
|
||||
bling.module.wallpaper.setup {
|
||||
wallpaper = {"/images/my_dog.jpg", "/images/my_cat.jpg"},
|
||||
change_timer = 1800
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
-- A random wallpaper with images from multiple folders
|
||||
bling.module.wallpaper.setup {
|
||||
set_function = bling.module.wallpaper.setters.random
|
||||
wallpaper = {"/path/to/a/folder", "/path/to/another/folder"},
|
||||
change_timer = 631, -- prime numbers are better for timers
|
||||
position = "fit",
|
||||
background = "#424242"
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
-- wallpapers based on a schedule, like awesome-glorious-widgets dynamic wallpaper
|
||||
-- https://github.com/manilarome/awesome-glorious-widgets/tree/master/dynamic-wallpaper
|
||||
bling.module.wallpaper.setup {
|
||||
set_function = wallpaper.setters.simple_schedule,
|
||||
wallpaper = {
|
||||
["06:22:00"] = "morning-wallpaper.jpg",
|
||||
["12:00:00"] = "noon-wallpaper.jpg",
|
||||
["17:58:00"] = "night-wallpaper.jpg",
|
||||
["24:00:00"] = "midnight-wallpaper.jpg",
|
||||
},
|
||||
position = "maximized",
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
-- random wallpapers, from different folder depending on time of the day
|
||||
bling.module.wallpaper.setup {
|
||||
set_function = bling.module.wallpaper.setters.simple_schedule,
|
||||
wallpaper = {
|
||||
["09:00:00"] = "~/Pictures/safe_for_work",
|
||||
["18:00:00"] = "~/Pictures/personal",
|
||||
},
|
||||
schedule_set_function = bling.module.wallpaper.setters.random
|
||||
position = "maximized",
|
||||
recursive = false,
|
||||
change_timer = 600
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
### Details
|
||||
|
||||
The setup function will do 2 things: call the set-function when awesome requests a wallpaper, and manage a timer to call `set_function` periodically.
|
||||
|
||||
Its argument is a args table that is passed to ohter functions (setters and wallpaper functions), so you define everything with setup.
|
||||
|
||||
The `set_function` is a function called every times a wallpaper is needed.
|
||||
|
||||
The module provides some setters:
|
||||
|
||||
* `bling.module.wallpaper.setters.awesome_wallpaper`: beautiful.theme_assets.wallpaper with defaults from beautiful.
|
||||
* `bling.module.wallpaper.setters.simple`: slideshow from the `wallpaper` argument.
|
||||
* `bling.module.wallpaper.setters.random`: same as simple but in a random way.
|
||||
* `bling.module.wallpaper.setters.simple_schedule`: takes a table of `["HH:MM:SS"] = wallpaper` arguments, where wallpaper is the `wallpaper` argument used by `schedule_set_function`.
|
||||
|
||||
A wallpaper is one of the following elements:
|
||||
|
||||
* a color
|
||||
* an image
|
||||
* a folder containing images
|
||||
* a function that sets a wallpaper
|
||||
* everything gears.wallpaper functions can manage (cairo surface, cairo pattern string)
|
||||
* a list containing any of the elements above
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
-- This is a valid wallpaper definition
|
||||
bling.module.wallpaper.setup {
|
||||
wallpaper = { -- a list
|
||||
"black", "#112233", -- colors
|
||||
"wall1.jpg", "wall2.png", -- files
|
||||
"/path/to/wallpapers", -- folders
|
||||
-- cairo patterns
|
||||
"radial:600,50,100:105,550,900:0,#2200ff:0.5,#00ff00:1,#101010",
|
||||
-- or functions that set a wallpaper
|
||||
function(args) bling.module.tiled_wallpaper("\\o/", args.screen) end,
|
||||
bling.module.wallpaper.setters.awesome_wallpaper,
|
||||
},
|
||||
change_timer = 10,
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
The provided setters `simple` and `random` will use 2 internal functions that you can use to write your own setter:
|
||||
|
||||
* `bling.module.wallpaper.prepare_list`: return a list of wallpapers directly usable by `apply` (for now, it just explores folders)
|
||||
* `bling.module.wallpaper.apply`: a wrapper for gears.wallpaper functions, using the args table of setup
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the defaults:
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
-- Default parameters
|
||||
bling.module.wallpaper.setup {
|
||||
screen = nil, -- the screen to apply the wallpaper, as seen in gears.wallpaper functions
|
||||
change_timer = nil, -- the timer in seconds. If set, call the set_function every change_timer seconds
|
||||
set_function = nil, -- the setter function
|
||||
|
||||
-- parameters used by bling.module.wallpaper.prepare_list
|
||||
wallpaper = nil, -- the wallpaper object, see simple or simple_schedule documentation
|
||||
image_formats = {"jpg", "jpeg", "png", "bmp"}, -- when searching in folder, consider these files only
|
||||
recursive = true, -- when searching in folder, search also in subfolders
|
||||
|
||||
-- parameters used by bling.module.wallpaper.apply
|
||||
position = nil, -- use a function of gears.wallpaper when applicable ("centered", "fit", "maximized", "tiled")
|
||||
background = beautiful.bg_normal or "black", -- see gears.wallpaper functions
|
||||
ignore_aspect = false, -- see gears.wallpaper.maximized
|
||||
offset = {x = 0, y = 0}, -- see gears.wallpaper functions
|
||||
scale = 1, -- see gears.wallpaper.centered
|
||||
|
||||
-- parameters that only apply to bling.module.wallpaper.setter.awesome (as a setter or as a wallpaper function)
|
||||
colors = { -- see beautiful.theme_assets.wallpaper
|
||||
bg = beautiful.bg_color, -- the actual default is this color but darkened or lightned
|
||||
fg = beautiful.fg_color,
|
||||
alt_fg = beautiful.fg_focus
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```

## 🎵 Playerctl <!-- {docsify-ignore} -->
|
||||
|
||||
This is a signal module in which you can connect to certain bling signals to grab playerctl info. Currently, this is what it supports:
|
||||
|
||||
- Song title and artist
|
||||
- Album art (the path this module downloaded the art to)
|
||||
- If playing or not
|
||||
- Position
|
||||
- Song length
|
||||
|
||||
This module relies on `playerctl` and `curl`. If you have this module disabled, you won't need those programs. With this module, you can create a widget like below without worrying about the backend.
|
||||
|
||||
![](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/33443763/107377569-fa807900-6a9f-11eb-93c1-174c58eb7bf1.png)
|
||||
|
||||
*screenshot by [javacafe](https://github.com/JavaCafe01)*
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage
|
||||
|
||||
To enable: `bling.signal.playerctl.enable()`
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the signals available:
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
-- bling::playerctl::status -- first line is the signal
|
||||
-- playing (boolean) -- indented lines are function parameters
|
||||
-- bling::playerctl::album
|
||||
-- album_art (string)
|
||||
-- bling::playerctl::title_artist
|
||||
-- title (string)
|
||||
-- artist (string)
|
||||
-- bling::playerctl::position
|
||||
-- interval_sec (number)
|
||||
-- length_sec (number)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Example Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
Lets say we have an imagebox. If I wanted to set the imagebox to show the album art, all I have to do is this:
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
local art = wibox.widget {
|
||||
image = "default_image.png",
|
||||
resize = true,
|
||||
forced_height = dpi(80),
|
||||
forced_width = dpi(80),
|
||||
widget = wibox.widget.imagebox
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
awesome.connect_signal("bling::playerctl::album", function(path)
|
||||
art:set_image(gears.surface.load_uncached(path))
|
||||
end)
|
||||
```
|
||||
Thats all! You don't even have to worry about updating the imagebox, the signals will handle that for you.
|
||||
|
||||
