`v6`: breaking changes in themes, bug fixes and new features. #200

`v6` codename "Gallium" — CHANGELOG

We hope this is the last time we have to break your themes and configs, but hopefully you won't be so annoyed thanks to the new changes and features that this new version brings. Go on, have a read:

Breaking Changes

MACCHINA_CONF has been deprecated, please use --config from now on, you can alias macchina to macchina --config <PATH> to avoid typing it every time.
hide_bar_delimiters has been deprecated, but the feature isn't gone. You can hide your bar's delimiters using hide_delimiters, here's what'd look like:

[bar]
hide_delimiters = true

palette has been deprecated, and again, the feature is still here. But, you now have to specify the type of variant you'd like to display and what glyph to use:

[palette]
type = "Full"
glyph = "●"
visible = true

Bugfixes

We've officially demoted DESKTOP_SESSION, preferring XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP over it. DESKTOP_SESSION is essentially a fallback now. (closes [BUG] DE info for KDE Plasma #199)
--short-uptime has been renamed to --long-uptime. Somehow, I forgot to rename the long version of this command-line flag, and you can verify this by comparing the flag name with the flag description — they contradict each other.
The spacing bug, that results in an uneven space between the left side and right side of the separator, has been fixed.

New features

Every single option in a theme is now optional, feel free to remove anything you don't need!
You can specify the kind of border you want macchina to use, under [box], you can add:

# Accepted values: "plain", "rounded" and "thick".
border = "plain"

You can now tell macchina what pool of color to use when randomization is enabled, under [randomize], you can add:

# Accepted values: "base", "hexadecimal" and "indexed"
pool = "base"

You can now use indexed colors, e.g. 38 and hexadecimal values, e.g. #FFFFFF for any option that accepts a color. (Add support for rgb and indexed colors #193)
You can now specify the glyph of the palette.

[palette]
glyph = "●"

Added manpages — Woohoo!
- There's one for the configuration file, and another for theming.
More datapaths to look at:
- macchina now looks for themes in /usr/share/macchina/themes. (closes [FEATURE] Support system-wide installation #210)
- macOS: macchina now looks for themes in ~/.config/macchina/themes.
We've brought back the ability to toggle between showing your physical/logical core count.

Miscellaneous

When using --list-themes, themes are now listed below the directory that contains them, resulting in much cleaner output.
Some under-the-hood changes you might not notice, which mostly address the complexity of certain operations (hopefully improving performance).
Psst... Gentoo users, macchina doesn't require portage-utils anymore.

What's new? - You can now specify what kind of borders to use through box.border, which can take one of the four values: "double", "plain", "thick", "rounded" — casing? insensitive. - hide_box_delimiters has been moved to box.hide_delimiters [BREAKING CHANGE] - box.title is now optional, it can be omitted from your configuration in case you don't use it. v6 will likely contain more features than this the day of its release.

Also currently it gives two errors if the theme is not found so that needs to be fixed. Should be an easy fix I guess.

@uttarayan21 Fixed with a959c0a

I've also bumped the Rust edition to 2021.

@grtcdr Running v6.0.0 built from the latest commit now, all good. Thanks!

grtcdr · 2021-12-05T19:54:50Z

Quite a clean theme you got there, would you mind adding it to contrib/themes?

There's only so many elements in the periodic table, so we should probably start using a sensible naming scheme.

0323pin · 2021-12-05T20:23:27Z

Sure, I'll make a PR later.

0323pin · 2021-12-05T20:32:09Z

@grtcdr or, if you don't want to wait curl it from here, https://codeberg.org/pin/leftwm-netbsd/raw/branch/main/home/.config/macchina/themes/Oxide.toml

@grtcdr or, if you don't want to wait curl it from here, https://codeberg.org/pin/leftwm-netbsd/raw/branch/main/home/.config/macchina/themes/Oxide.toml

No I don't mind waiting. If you merge a PR you get your name on the contributors list, which is always nice :)

Done :smile

- improve the output of `--list_themes` - `--list_themes` supports `--verbose`

grtcdr · 2021-12-08T17:13:07Z

@uttarayan21 The way we handle MACCHINA_CONF does not comply with the way macchina searches for themes, I think it's better to rewrite it from scratch.

uttarayan21 · 2021-12-08T17:35:29Z

Isn't MACCHINA_CONF only for the config file ?

grtcdr · 2021-12-08T17:44:01Z

Isn't MACCHINA_CONF only for the config file ?

Yeah, but that's not enough to source the themes. If macchina can't find its config in predefined locations, it also won't find its themes.

- removed: - MACCHINA_CONF handling - refactored: - main - reworked: - config handling

as well as making the effort to keep main.rs tiny with the necessary functions in separate modules.

What spacing bug? It's a weird bug that can appear when you have only a *few* readouts showing, you'll notice the spacing between the separator and the content besides it is *uneven*.

grtcdr · 2021-12-13T04:05:21Z

I've fixed the spacing bug, v6 will release soon ❤️ (no ETA yet)
