Re: i3
wux, one of your better setups. Nice!
good luck with getting it into i3bar. I'd say just use bar, but I don't remember that i3 has the ability to pad to leave space for non-conky/i3bar.

Re: i3
hmm dunst might be a bit tricky yet.
only took all day and is a bit shaky also:
then in .i3/config
forgot, also need to edit ~/.i3status.conf tooOtherwise it looks silly.
Could do with a nicer looking and method of starting mpg123, preferably with a choice of stations.
Not too bothered as i only really listen to 2 stations...
can't work out why the '>' redirect seems to append to the file. thats why there is a tail -n1 to display - the bar only pull the last one out anyway, but to be sure.
works though. 8)

Code: Select all
mpg123 -b 2048 http://air.radiolla.com/equalyza192k 2>&1 | grep --line-buffered -Po "'.*?'" > ~/icy.txt
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
# shell script to prepend i3status with more stuff
i3status | while :
do
read line
echo "`tail -n1 ~/icy.txt` | $line" || exit 1
done

status_command ~/script.sh

Code: Select all
output_format = none

Re: i3
Nice work, Launfal!
looks like a great minimal distraction workspace.
"lots more eyecandy" hehe, excellent!
Hmmm, do I feel the need for some sort of i3 colour theme script, using current .Xresources?
I normally find it needs some tweaking and personal preference as to the border colours etc.

Re: i3
Thanks. Something to somehow convert the terminal palette to i3 would be sweet, since the palette generated by the script doesn't seem to be meant to transfer over to WM configs, since depending on the wallpaper, there are a lot of dark colors and colors that run in one family or another. Like you said, it makes it kinda hard to get the borders and window titles right. I don't know how you get around that, but it would save some trouble for people who like to change wallpapers a lot. Fortunately, that ain't me.wuxmedia wrote:Nice work, Launfal!

Since I spend a lot of time working with text, terminal apps work just fine. More keys, less mouse is a winner for me.
Re: i3
That gives me an idea. Take a cool wallpaper, mogrify it to grayscale, then generate a palette. Go all monochrome. I'm gonna try it and throw up another scrot when I'm done.wuxmedia wrote:true, I tend to stick to grey (2a2a2a) wallpapers these days.
Re: i3
@Launfal: you've discovered the biggest flaw in the Paletter-script: it just grabs the colours, nothing more :)
indeed, you either get lucky with a wallpaper where it just happens to work, or you have to manually shift things around to make it perfect for your setup. i don't think there is (or can be..?) an easier method.
the greyscale/monochrome idea sounds cool :)

Re: i3
yeah, paletter is a neat idea, and for the most part works pretty well, but like you say, there's a lot of tinkering.rhowaldt wrote:@Launfal: you've discovered the biggest flaw in the Paletter-script: it just grabs the colours, nothing more :)

I'll go back to the monochrome idea at some point when I've got more time. The problem is that paletter only gives 8 colors for a grayscale image, so you'd have to double up somehow to make everything work. Might as well just do a grayscale palette manually. I'll come up with something.
Re: i3
^ or you could look at Paletter's code and find the line that makes the magic happen and see if you can change it to use more than 8 colors?
