##Blingbling:
Blingbling is a graphical widget library for Awesome Windows Manager. The goal of the Blingbling library is to provide more fancy, customizable and easy to setup graphical widgets, popups or signals for Awesome WM.
Originally, I have written Blingbling for myself but I share it under the GNU GPL-v2 (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html). Testers and feedbacks are welcome!
The current version is the v2.0 and works with Awesome WM 3.5. There are a lot of changes between the v1.0 and the v2.0 and I don't have finished to adapt all the widgets of the last version yet.

####Installation ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME usually ~/.config)
cd $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/awesome/
git clone git://github.com/cedlemo/blingbling.git
####Use: In your rc.lua:
require("blingbling")
#####Documentation You can find a full documentation on each widgets in the doc directory, just open the index.html file.
#####line_graph Create a line graph and fill it with vicious for example (you can configure the widget with a table or with the related methods ):
cpu_graph = blingbling.line_graph({ height = 18,
width = 200,
show_text = true,
label = "Load: $percent %",
rounded_size = 0.3,
graph_background_color = "#00000033"
})
--cpu_graph:set_height(18)
--cpu_graph:set_width(200)
--cpu_graph:set_show_text(true)
--cpu_graph:set_label("Load: $percent %")
--cpu_graph:set_rounded_size(0.3)
--cpu_graph:set_graph_background_color("#00000033")
vicious.register(cpu_graph, vicious.widgets.cpu,'$1',2)
#####progress_graph Create some progress graphs :
cores_graph_conf ={height = 18, width = 8, rounded_size = 0.3}
cores_graphs = {}
for i=1,4 do
cores_graphs[i] = blingbling.progress_graph( cores_graph_conf)
vicious.register(cores_graphs[i], vicious.widgets.cpu, "$"..(i+1).."",1)
end
Add those widgets to your wibox:
for i=1,4 do
left_layout:add(cores_graphs[i])
end
#####value_text_box Create a value text box:
home_fs_usage=blingbling.value_text_box({height = 18, width = 40, v_margin = 4})
--home_fs_usage:set_height(16)
--home_fs_usage:set_width(40)
--home_fs_usage:set_v_margin(2)
home_fs_usage:set_background_text_color("#00000099")
home_fs_usage:set_values_text_color({{"#88aa00ff",0}, --all value > 0 will be displayed using this color
{"#d4aa00ff", 0.75},
{"#d45500ff",0.77}})
--There is no maximum number of color that users can set, just put the lower values at first.
home_fs_usage:set_text_color(beautiful.textbox_widget_as_label_font_color)
home_fs_usage:set_rounded_size(0.4)
home_fs_usage:set_font_size(8)
home_fs_usage:set_background_color("#00000044")
home_fs_usage:set_label("usage: $percent %")
vicious.register(home_fs_usage, vicious.widgets.fs, "${/home used_p}", 120 )
#####triangular_progress_graph Create a triangular progress graph (can be feed with vicious too):
triangular = blingbling.triangular_progressgraph({height = 18, width = 40, bar = true, v_margin = 2, h_margin = 2})
triangular:set_value(0.7)
#####volume Create a volume widget (triangular progress bar with specific methods):
volume_master = blingbling.volume({height = 18, width = 40, bar =true, show_text = true, label ="$percent%"})
volume_master:update_master()
volume_master:set_master_control()
#####popups Add popups to one or more widget with blinbling.popups module:
--Example with cpu_graph created previously with default color :
blingbling.popups.htop(cpu_graph, { terminal = terminal })
--Example with custom colors:
blingbling.popups.htop(cpu_graph, { title_color = beautiful.notify_font_color_1 , user_color = beautiful.notify_font_color_2 , root_color = beautiful.notify_font_color_3 , terminal = terminal })
#####net Create a net widget with a popup that display connection informations:
netwidget = blingbling.net({interface = "eth0", show_text = true})
netwidget:set_ippopup()
#####task_warrior Create a new task_warrior menu:
task_w = blingbling.task_warrior({ menu_icon = file_path, project_icon = file_path, task_icon = file_path ,task_done_icon = file_path, width})
task_w:set_project_icon(themes_dir .. "/test/titlebar/maximized_focus_active.png")
#####udisks_glue Create a menu which displays mounted media with actions like mount/unmount/detach/eject. Must be used with .udisks-glue.conf that I created. ( The name of the variable containing the widget must be the same in your rc.lua and in the .udisks-glue.conf).
udisks_glue=blingbling.udisks_glue.new({ menu_icon = themes_dir .. "/test/titlebar/maximized_focus_active.png"})
note: udisks-glue have not been updated since one or 2 years. Furthermore it doesn't work with logind which is used in a lot of distributions. So I think that I have to find another way to manage external media. note: Added minor update to allow udisks_glue to insert a device without mounting it. See .udisks_glue.conf
#####system Provide buttons with menu in order to reboot or shutdown the system. User can set icon for menu, accept and cancel actions.
shutdown=blingbling.system.shutdownmenu(beautiful.shutdown,
beautiful.accept,
beautiful.cancel)
reboot=blingbling.system.rebootmenu(beautiful.reboot,
beautiful.accept,
beautiful.cancel)
lock=blingbling.system.lockmenu() --icons have been set in theme via the theme.bligbling table
logout=blingbling.system.logoutmenu() --icons have been set in theme via the theme.blingbling table
#####clock This part provides a clock which displays month, day of month and day of week in japanese (kanji form)
mytextclock = blingbling.clock.japanese(" %m、%d、%w、<span color=\"#999999\">%H<span color=\""..blingbling.helpers.rgb(20,31,82).."\">時</span>%M<span color=\""..blingbling.helpers.rgb(20,31,82).."\">分</span> </span>")
#####tex_box The blingbling.text_box are widget like Awesome textbox but with more parameters.
- background_color the color used to fill the background
- background_text_color a background color that will be set between the background and the text
- h_margin v_margin margin between the text background and the wibox
- rounded_size the size for rounded corners : this can be a number that applies for all corners or a table of 4 values { upper left, upper right, lower right, lower left }
- text_color, font, font_size
#####tagslist This object is an adaptation of the taglist object from awesome. Tags are blingbling.text_box. Users can provide a style for the tags as the last argument. The style must be a table with the 4 keys corresponding to the states of a tag (normal, focus, urgent, occupied). Each value of this keys are tables with style paramaters of text_box widget. (width, height, h_margin, v_margin, background_color, background_text_color, rounded_size, text_color, font_size, font.
Just replace the line
mytaglist[s] = awful.widget.taglist(s, awful.widget.taglist.filter.all, mytaglist.buttons)
with
mytag[s]=blingbling.tagslist(s, awful.widget.taglist.filter.all, mytaglist.buttons --[[, { normal = {}, focus ={}, urgent={}, occupied={} }--]])
then add mytaglist[s] in the wibox :
left_layout:add(wibox.layout.margin(mytag[s],0,0,1,1))
#####calendar This widget is a clock widget with a calendar. You can show the calendar for the current month with a mouse click on this widget. In the calendar, there is 3 buttons allowing to show previous, current and next month. You can get events from remind and taskwarrior or add handlers for other task/calendar software.
calendar = blingbling.calendar()
calendar:set_link_to_external_calendar(true)
#####wlourf circle graph This is the circle graph of wlourf that you can feed with vicious.
circle = blingbling.wlourf_circle_graph({radius= 5, height = 18, width = 36, show_text = true, label = "cpu", h_margin = 2, v_margin = 0 --[[, font = {family = "Times New Roman", slang = "italic", weight = "bold"}]]})
circle:set_graph_colors({{"#88aa00ff",0}, --all value > 0 will be displayed using this color
{"#d4aa00ff", 0.5},
{"#d45500ff",0.77}})
--set the value directly
--circle:add_value(0.5)
--or use vicious
vicious.register(circle, vicious.widgets.cpu,'$1',2)
#####Global theming for blingbling.
You can provide default theme for blingbling instead of configuring colors for each widgets. You just need to create a blingbling table in your theme.lua file and override values that can be find in superproperties.lua:
theme.blingbling = {
htop_title_color = "#ff0000",
htop_user_color = "#00ff00"
}
