awesome-config's Issues

Implement multi screen hidpi support

When multiple screens are connected each one can have a different DPI. This should be respected for all heights, widths and anything else in pixels that is set.

Support in the dpi helper

• Basic support to calculate dpi of a screen
• Find the correct output in screen.outputs to read the mm_width and mm_height value from
• Allow to specify a factor for dpi in the config
• Allow a per screen factor for dpi in the config

Use the new xdpi and ydpi methods everywhere

Titlebars

• Calculate titlebar height and values depending on client screen
• Recalculate the titlebar values when screen of the client changes

Widgets in bar

• Font size in orglendar
• Battery Widget
• Network monitor
• Screensaver

Misc

• Hotkey_badge in lunaconf.widgets.common
• screen_tag in lunaconf.widgets.common

Blacklist for titlebars

Create a blacklist(ing option) for clients, that shouldn't get a titlebar.

Create volumebar

Create a volumebar for the bar similar to this screenshot.

Use alsactl monitor to watch for volume change in the bar.

Make client icon when minimized transparent

When a client is minified the client should be painted with some transparency in the screen bar.

Requires awesomeWM/awesome#405 to be released.

scale feature

Hi, can you give me a hint how I can implement your "scale" feature in my awesome config without importing your whole setup?
I am talking about this https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/877229/27581640-847cad20-5b2e-11e7-93f8-5a8f6e49a084.png
called it scale because thats what I know from compiz :)
Many thanks!

Fix client icons for clients without icon in tasklist

Create fullscreen mode

Create a fullscreen mode (replaces old titlebar and bar toggle mode) to make a client fullscreen and hide the bar while it's fullscreen (best with a hotkey/moving mouse to top of screen to show it again).

require("lgi").GLib.get_system_data_dirs() returns paths without trailing /

This is on ubuntu 17.10 running xfce4 git.

Patch to rectify:

Implement proper icon.lookup_method

I should improve the implementation of the icon lookup method:

(a) it should read the index.theme of the icon to actually get a list of icon folders instead of guessing
(b) it should take an parameter what size of icon is preferred and should return the next largest icon for the requested icon name

http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html

If the implementation will be clean, this could be pull requested to awesomeWM.

MOD + Page up/down correct order

Currently the order when pressing MOD + Page up/down is kind of broken, since it randomly jumps between tabs. It should instead follow the order the clients have in the tasklist, i.e. jump through all clients in one tag and then jump to the next tag, etc.

Pin applications as own tags

What currently is hard coded for pidgin and thunderbird, could be made a bit more flexible and configurable (or usable via hotkeys) so different computers could use different pinned applications.

Move displayswitcher to the new design

The displayswitcher widget should be moved to the new design. This mainly should include changing the icon color. It would be even better to determine the correct contrast color depending on the screen bar color, what could be tricky (to not possible) when using (fake) transparency and we don't know the actual color.

Create nice progress dialog

Create a nice progress dialog, that can be used in replace for notifications for brightness and volume. It could look like the displayswitcher dialog, placed in the middle of the screen and use a proper progress bar to show the progress. The dialog should auto hide itself and be easy to use in the conf.d scripts

Create left handed mouse widget

Make a newly connected mouse left handed by default or/and make it configurable via some shortcut or widget.

Create better display support

A more intelligent display support would be great, i.e. detect all the displays and try to create the best matching display config, and also detect disconnected displays and change settings according to that.
