actually the _tell function won't handle the new argument.
Coming patches will handle them.
it will need now something like this:
echo '0 widget_tell widget property value'
where property can be anything used in the awesomerc file,
that means what will be supported. Like: fg, fg_end, width, font...
(actually it ignores the property value and changes what have been changed in
the past as well.)
example config:
graph gr_cpu {
width = 80
height = "0.8"
fg = "#336633"
bg = "#000000"
bordercolor = "#669966"
padding_left = 0
mouse = {...}
x = ...
y = ...
}
Looks like here: http://www.calmar.ws/tmp/112-Sun-screen.png
I renamed lpadding to padding_left, and bcolor to bordercolor
also on the progressbar widget.
The awesomerc page would still be to write, when this patch will get accepted.
Hints are always welcomed.
protocol to speak to them. Given a textbox widget definition like this:
textbox mail {
default = 0
}
textbox time {}
We can update the boxes individually by going:
echo 0 tell_widget mail 10
echo 0 tell_widget time 12:01
Text boxes will dynamically resize to fit their contents. A textbox can be
cleared by going:
echo 0 tell_widget name
A text-box containing no text will take up 0 space in the bar, i.e. it will not
be visible at all
Textboxes now supersede statusbar_set_text, so this call has been removed.
We now have the beginnings of a flexible widget structure for the statusbar.
For now, there is no behavioural change, and the interface is a bit crude, but
watch this space!
