Default path is set to /sys/class/thermal but at least it's easier to
switch to /sys/class/hwmon (i.e. coretemp) now without much code
modification. Note; zone IDs are probably different than those in
/proc/acpi/thermal_zone
Thanks to Felix for bringing this to my attention. Obviously there was
already a safety net for feeding progressbars and graphs... and while
this makes for a good coding practice it's not a big deal. We have
widgets of type textbox for one, and a lot of string concatenation
happens. Strings are formatted, markup is applied...
A lot of people expect widgets like this one to auto-magically work,
and somehow don't understand that *they* need to make sure there is a
source of information. Is ACPI module loaded? Is battery info exposed
in the same place that widget expects by default? You need to answer
those questions before loading the widget and sending me "bug"
reports.
If a channel is muted we return 0. Something like "Muted" would be
nice, but lets not break progressbars. If it doesn't concern you, then
return what ever you want...
We still stick to ACPI thermal zones because they are most commonly
exposed (with proper ACPI modules loaded). But if you can find another
source of temperature exposed trough /sys use it. Current code should
match a lot of sources, but in some cases you will want to modify it a
bit, add a dot, or limit to two numbers (except when the value is
100+, you don't want to miss the fact your CPU is melting).
Vicious is a modular widget library for 'awesome' window manager,
derived from the 'Wicked' widget library.
Summary of changes:
* Original wicked code modularized
* Widgets ported from Wicked:
- CPU, MEM, FS, NET, Date, Uptime, MPD
* CPU widget rewritten, uses pattern matching
* MEM widget rewritten, uses pattern matching
- Swap widget merged with MEM widget type
* FS widget rewritten, uses pattern matching
- Also fixed padding in the process
* NET widget rewritten, uses pattern matching
* MPD widget rewritten, a bit more versatile
* Removed deprecated helper functions
* Widgets written for Vicious:
- Thermal, Battery, Mbox, OrgMode, Volume, Entropy,
Disk I/O, System Load, Wireless, Pacman, Maildir
