This patch introduces the possibility to specify the tray_output directive
multiple times. All values will be used by i3bar, in the order they are
given.
This way, a single bar configuration can be used for several machines with
internal output names "eDP1" and "LVDS-0" by specifying tray_output for both.
Any external output (e.g., "DP-0") will still not receive the tray. The same
effect can be achieved by using "primary", but forces the user to couple the
tray display to the primary output which may not be desirable behavior.
relates to #555
This patch adds two new status block keys, background and border, which
define the respective colors for the status block. If not specified, the
current behavior is kept, e.g., no background / border will be drawn.
If the status block is marked urgent, the urgent color is prioritized.
fixes#2022
This commit restores the old XCB drawing code paths while keeping the
cairo drawing available via a compile-time switch (I3BAR_CAIRO). This
is necessary as cairo currently has a bug that breaks i3bar for users
without the RENDER extension, which might be the case, e.g., for VNC
users.
For more context, see #1989 and the discussions about its fix. Once the
cairo fix is available in a stable release, i3 can depend on that version
and remove the XCB drawing code paths.
fixes#1989
This commit refactors the i3bar drawing code to also define an abstraction
function for clearing a surface. This is needed to fully abstract i3bar/xcb.c's
drawing code so that we can introduce a switch to easily exchange the
underlying drawing mechanism.
Since libi3 currently creates its own cairo surface for drawing text, we
need to mark our own surface as dirty to force cairo to invalidate its
cache. Otherwise, this will result in graphical glitches such as the text
not showing up at all.
This wrapper can be removed in the future when libi3 is adapted to reuse
the same cairo surface as we do for all other drawing operations.
This patch creates all necessary windows for i3bar with 32-bit visuals if available.
It also introduces the possibility to define RGBA colors (next to RGB colors), which
allows the user to set the opacity of any color. This requires running a compositor.
With this patch we also start supporting _NET_SYSTEM_TRAY_VISUAL, which is necessary
for the tray icons so they create the tray window with the correct depth and visual.
This introduces a "separator_symbol" property for the i3bar configuration.
If set, the specified string will be used as a separator instead of a vertical line. Since it is an optional configuration, complete backwards compatibility is given.
fixes#1472
Add `markup` to the i3bar protocol as a block member.
This is a string that determines how the block should be parsed as
markup. "pango" indicates the block should be parsed as Pango markup.
"none" indicates the block should not be parsed as markup.
Users can specify a command to run when a button was pressed on i3bar to
override the default behavior. Currently only the mouse wheel buttons
are supported. This is useful for disabling the scroll wheel action or
running scripts that implement custom behavior for these buttons.
Example:
bar {
wheel_up_cmd nop
wheel_down_cmd exec ~/.i3/scripts/custom_wheel_down
}
fixes#1104
This should be the last commit that formats a big bunch of files. From
here on, whenever I merge patches, I’ll run clang-format like described
in the title.
Implement the configuration option within the bar config directive for
custom workspace numbers with the directive `strip_workspace_numbers
yes`.
This directive strips the workspace name of the number prefix and
delimiter. When the workspace name consists only of the number, it will
default to show the number.
For example:
* "2:5" -> "5"
* "4:$" -> "$"
* "8" -> "8"
This allows customization of i3bar for alternate ordering of workspaces
which has a legitimate use for alternate keyboard layouts such as
Dvorak.
fixes#1131
This avoids flooding stdout every time some text (e.g. a window
decoration) is drawn, yet leaves the message in place when it’s actually
relevant (upon DPI changes).
fixes#1115
i3 current behavior hides the binding mode indicator when
workspace buttons are disabled.
This patch adds a new configuration for i3bar called
'binding_mode_indicator' which acts like the workspace_buttons.
It is now possible to configure i3bar to hide the
workspace buttons and keep showing the binding mode indicator.
This should make the hide workspace buttons configuration
more convenient for those who are heavily using binding
modes.
Default value for binding_mode_indicator is true.
When connecting or disconnecting an output, i3bar reconfigures its
windows. This also included an unmapping of the bars, and a remapping of
all docked bars. Thus, the bars were misplaced when a monitor was
disconnected.
This commit assures that the remapping of the bars only takes place,
when the mode has actually changed. This patch also takes care of an
inconsistency when pressing the bar_modifier while switching the mode.
Also, the xkbDisplay is now closed correctly, when deregestering the xkb
keyevents.
The hidden_state and mode of each i3bar instance can now be controlled from within i3.
Therefore, two new i3 command were introduced:
_
bar hidden_state show|hide|toggle [<bar_id>]
show: always show the bar
hide: normal hide mode
toggle: toggle between show and hide (individually for each bar)
_
bar mode dock|hide|invisible|toggle [<bar_id>]
hide,dock: like before
invisible: always keep the bar hidden
toggle: toggle between dock and hide (individually for each bar)
This patch introduces a hidden_state ("hidden_state hide|show") in the
barconfig, which indicates the current hidden_state of each i3bar
instance. It only affects the bar when in hide mode. Additionally, a new
invisible mode was introduced. In order to change the hidden_state or
mode of the bar from i3, a barconfig-update event was introduced, for
which a bar can subscribe and the bar then gets notified about the
currently set hidden_state and mode in its barconfig.
For convenience, an id field ("id <bar_id>") was added to the barconfig, where one can
set the desired id for the corresponding bar. If the id is not specified, i3 will
deterministically choose an id; otherwise, with the previous random approach for finding
a new id, which is actually not shared with i3bar, as it would determine its id on
startup, the event-subscription would be destroyed on reload. Still, this issue remains
when manually changing the bar_id in the config and then reloading.
fixes#833, #651
If the statusline generator (i.e. i3status) specifies click_events:true
in the protocol header, i3bar will write a JSON array on it's stdin
notifying it if the user clicks on a block.
The exact protocol is documented in docs/i3bar-protocol.
This patch adds the following features:
1) Configure a color of the separator via config. It is done like
bar {
colors {
separator #000000
}
}
2) A block can have an integer entry "separator_block_width" which
sets the width of the gap which would follow after the current block.
3) A block can have a boolean entry "separator" and if it is set
to false, then the drawing of the separating line would be disabled.
We now wait for the child process to send the first line before stopping
it to use the signal which might be specified in the i3bar protocol
header
Since clients might use the same signal for both stop and cont, we also
save the stopped state of the child to avoid stopping it while hidden!
