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,x11}-dev are required to build the binary.
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
Note: alsa-utils are required.
Shows either MUTE or the current volume like S 52%. Listens on alsactl monitor for changes.
Shows backlight value like L 23% and watches /sys/class/backlight for changes.
Note: The upower daemon has to be running for receiving DBus messages.
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 CPU load taken from /proc/loadavg in format 0.55 0.61 0.42 and refreshes every 20 seconds.
Shows time in format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM and refreshes every minute.
