Since we have deterministic device names in Linux, these strings are a
much better default in the i3status config than "eth0" and "wlan0" (what
we used before).
Replaced hard coded status strings (CHR, BAT, FULL) in
print_battery_info.c with user defined strings. The new strings are
'status_chr', 'status_bat' and 'status_full' and can be set in i3status.conf.
e.g.
status_chr = "⚡ CHR"
If any of the new status strings is omitted the standard strings (CHR,
BAT, FULL) are used.
This patch enables users to define "align" and "min_width" options
right in the i3status module config sections.
Specifically this patch:
* Adds macros for the two new options that are used in the option
definitions. As the min_width option can take either a string or a
number, a custom type has been added along with a corresponding callback
function that parses the provided value (and provides input validation).
The align option also uses a callback for input validation
* Expands all module config option definitions to include the new
options
* Extends the SEC_CLOSE_MAP() macro to generate the JSON for the new
options as necessary
* Updates the manpage to explain the new options
This patch adds the ability to customize the separator that is placed
between modules.
Specifically this patch:
* adds the "separator" general directive
* moves the definition of the default separator for the different
output formats (excluding color formatting) to src/i3status.c
* updates the SEC_CLOSE_MAP macro to disable the separator for the
i3bar output format if the separator directive dictates so
* changes print_seperator() in src/output.c to take a separator
parameter in order to disable the output of the separator if
the separator is empty and to use the provided separator
otherwise
* updates the manpage to explain the new directive
If the volume is muted, the volume level would simply be displayed as zero and the color changed to color_degraded.
This patch lets the user define a custom format string for when the volume is muted.
The default value is "♪: 0%" ("♪: %volume" being the usual format).
If we don't do this, the output of i3status will remain on the terminal,
which is really ugly if the statusline becomes shorter after a while
(for example a connection get's lost), because there will be garbage.
- Temperature sensors can now set a 'max_threshold' value to color the output red if exceeded.
- Allow for arbitrary temperature sensors nodes to be selected with 'path' on OpenBSD.
The battery threshold can now be configured as type "time" or
"percentage", but defaults to "time" to prevent unexpected behavior.
Also, low_threshold was set to a more reasonable default of 30.
This will make i3status depend on a useful configuration file (so
/etc/i3status.conf has to be installed) to actually output anything.
However, it fixes a very common error: people edit their i3status.conf and
don’t get that the first order directive has to use =, not +=. Since order is
now empty by default, you can use += everywhere.
