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.
The upower daemon has to be running for the battery feature for receiving DBus messages.
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 dwm-status
Build:
sh
$ nix-build
And run:
sh
$ ./result/bin/dwm_status <config-file>
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 |
| battery count | example | notes |
| ------------- | --------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| 0 | NO BATT | |
| 1 | ▼ 50% (02:03) | |
| 2 | ▼ 50% (02:03) · 50% | Batteries ordered alphabetically by name |
Watches UPower DBus signals for added or removed batteries and changes of battery states.
If discharging and the capacity of the fullest battery 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.
