How to replace the * with bars

[eyadsibai]

Thank you for the cool tool!

I was wondering how to replace the *** with bars instead that represent the strength of the signal?

That will take a PR. The NM.utils_wifi_strength_bars function that's provided by NetworkManager returns 0-4 asterisks. The comment in the docs says that they used to try to create bars, but there were too many terminal types to easily guess Unicode abilities.

The asterisks could be converted locally to Unicode bars fairly easily after the NM.utils_wifi_strength_bars call in the create_ap_actions function.

Thanks for your interest!

In config.ini set:

[dmenu]
wifi_chars = ▂▄▆█

Hopefully that works for you!
