Never again forget about your open mic! #98

I guess you can update the wiki without requesting it in an issue. Thanks for your work, seems really handy and pretty! |
EDIT: moved to the wiki with the other blocklets, thanks :) |
Hope you don't mind, I just cleaned up the code a touch to keep a consistent style. I also removed the colour within the script because it should be set in the i3blocks config. A also fixed AlsaMixer's lines because the code didn't work for me when I used it. Very clever idea btw! I'm very glad to have this going forward. |
Thank you very much, I will check everything later when I have a break. |
Thanks @msx for this addition! I add the link here https://github.com/vivien/i3blocks/wiki/Blocklets#mic since it's definitely a good piece of work! |
Nice to see it could be useful to anyone else, thank you Vivien :) |
Sorry, but is this script available in the contrib repo? I can't find it. |
Hi all,
@vivien, rest of the contributing folks: I just want to thank you'll for i3blocks, I just switched to it over last night and I love it.
So, here's my little contribution that I would like to add to the wiki in case anyone find it useful once we all agree it meets the minimum quality standards :)
mic
I use Skype, Linphone and Hangouts every day at work and I constantly forget to mute the damn mic whenever I'm on a call but not participating on it actively or just waiting for my turn to speak.
I created this little blocklet that hopefully will help me be aware whenever my mic is open so I can mute it and keep things professionally :D
Also I hope my pal @cawa will stop babysitting me and telling me to shut the mic!
So without more ado here are some screenshots and the correspondent code.
Screenshots
As you can see on the above screenshots I already ship two variants of the mics shown - also the colors can be customized too.
Fonts utilized:
i3: font pango:Terminus 9 (frames, dialog boxes, status bar)
Eye candy: Font Awesome
Code
Now the most important part is done (that is showing some fancy screenshots), here comes the code.
Relevant ~/.config/i3blocks/config stuff:
~/.config/i3blocks/blocklets/mic:
Features
Requirements
For toggling mic's state:
Eye candy:
That's all for now, I hope mic will be useful for someone else.
Any ideas/critics on how to improve this circus is welcome (in fact I would love to know about them).
Cheers!
