DWM status service which dynamically updates when needed. Heavily inspired by i3status-rust.
Example status bar:
L 30% / MUTE / - 25% (01:05) / 2018-03-16 21:25
If an error occures, notifications via libnotify are sent.
Cargo, rustc and lib{dbus,gdk-pixbuf,glib,notify}-dev are required to build the binary.
To set the status text xsetroot is used.
sh
$ # dev mode
$ cargo run -- <config-file>
$ # release mode
$ cargo build --release
$ ./target/release/dwm-status <config-file>
Or install globally to ~/.cargo/bin:
sh
$ cargo install
The config-file contains one feature per line, e.g.:
audio
battery
time
Shows either MUTE or the current volume like S 52%. Listens on alsactl monitor for changes.
alsa-utils are required.
Shows backlight value like L 23% and watches /sys/class/backlight for changes.
Shows following information:
| status | example | notes |
| -------------------- | --------------- | ---------------------------- |
| charging | + 10% (01:23) | In parentheses time to full |
| discharging | - 50% (02:03) | In parentheses time to empty |
| full | = 100% | |
| no battery available | NO BATT | |
Watches /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT1 dbus signals for updates.
If discharging and the capacity is under specific values, warning notifications with urgency normal or critical are sent.
| capacity | urgency | | -------- | -------- | | 2% | critical | | 5% | critical | | 10% | critical | | 15% | normal | | 20% | normal |
Shows time in format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM and refreshes every minute.
