Variable for module titles in modeline?

[chuchana]

What do you think about setting the titles of the modules in a variable, e.g. (defvar *cpu-title* "CPU: ")?

That would make it easy to customize them in the stumpwm init files, e.g. with a unicode symbol, or removing them completely. Or automatically renaming the network interface, e.g. from something like wlp3s0 to wifi.

Regarding the cpu module, you can modify the cpu::*cpu-usage-modeline-fmt* variable. For instance,

(setf cpu::*cpu-usage-modeline-fmt* "^[~A~3D%^]")

will only display the output of cpu::*cpu-modeline-fmt* with some padding.

If you wish to modify the formatters for the net module, you can use net::*net-formatters-alist* like so:

(pushnew '(#\D device-type) net::*net-formatters-alist*)

and write your own device-type function that determines the type of the interface and returns it. Take a look at the function net-device in the module for inspiration.

Reading the source code of the modules can solve a lot of these issues.

The method mentioned by Phundrak works, this issue should be closed I think.
