azote VS nwg-wrapper

fixed crash on spaces in directory names #184 by @rabbitselector

Fixed crash on attempt to split an image: #183 by @baryonicnonsense.

azote works partly - correct color picking inside azote's main window only. other windows - gray color.

This is the last (at least for now) missing part of nwg-shell for sway: autotiling, Azote, nwg-launchers, nwg-panel and nwg-dock.

Usage: sway-mode [-c,--config config-file] [-C,--css css-file] mode Puts sway into mode 'mode' and displays some help by extracting a section from the config file. Options: -c,--config config_file location of your config file (/home/bhepple/.config/sway/config) -C,--css css_file location of your css file (/home/bhepple/.config/nwg-wrapper/mode-help.css) Requires nwg-wrapper https://github.com/nwg-piotr/nwg-wrapper Assumes modes are defined in the config file like this: mode "foobar" { ... } To use this, reassign the bindkey command for the mode like this: bindsym $mod+s exec sway-mode "swap" and in the mode definition, change the mode ending keys to # back to default mode bindsym q exec pkill nwg-wrapper; mode "default" bindsym Return exec pkill nwg-wrapper; mode "default" bindsym Escape exec pkill nwg-wrapper; mode "default" Here's a sample CSS file: window { font-family: "Monospace"; color: rgba (255, 255, 255, 1.0); background-color: rgba (255, 255, 255, 0.1); } #box-inner { background-color: rgba (23, 53, 63, 0.7); border-radius: 5px; border-style: dotted; border-width: 1px; border-color: rgba (156, 142, 122, 0.7); padding: 10px; }

Here's a script that uses nwg-wrapper to display a countdown - it would be easy to modify it to display a digital clock.

Maybe take a look at nwg-wrapper

The countdown into gtklock is created by my script sway-count which uses nwg-wrapper.

For example, this works using nwg-wrapper :

Nope. https://github.com/nwg-piotr/nwg-wrapper/commit/f4c4dc6e9a568ade8b3bce02d73f528a50b02928

Here's my script. It forks off a playerctl --follow with a custom format to work around read skipping empty items (like a song without an artist). You don't have to do that, I just prefer that so I can add nwg-wrapper to view album art and song title on my desktop without spinning up another playerctl read loop.

If your compositor supports layer-shell (i.e., not Gnome) then maybe nwg-wrapper would work.

I had a play with gtklock today and wondered if it would work with nwg-wrapper to enhance the lock screen. It turns out that they work together very well - see screenshot. I've also modified my script for various styles of locking so that it supports gtklock: mylock
