Widget type uses curl now, like all other types accessing network
resources (until, if ever, we switch to luasocket). Where previously
only the currently playing song was returned now you can access these
keys: {volume}, {state}, {Artist}, {Title}, {Album}, {Genre}. You can
provide an optional table argument to change password, host or port.
Widget takes an optional argument that controls truncate and
scrolling. In case of a number truncate is used, it represents the
maximum lenght of widget text. In case of a table scrolling is used,
1st field is maximum lenght, and 2nd is widget name. An example:
{24, "mpdwidget"}
Function takes two arguments, the text to be truncated and the max
lenght. Last three characters will be replaced by "...". Mbox and MPD
widgets that previously did it them selves are now using this helper.
Vicious is a modular widget library for 'awesome' window manager,
derived from the 'Wicked' widget library.
