aosd_cat

[rhowaldt]

After my dunst questions and looking into some more different notification systems/daemons, i found what i think is a nice one that i never heard of before: aosd_cat. seems a bit less basic (more versatile) than osd_cat. in the repos as "aosd-cat", but program itself is "aosd_cat", so mind that tricky shit.

Code: Select all

echo "penis" | aosd_cat -n "Jura Light 40"  -f 100 -u 1000 -o 100  -p 

seems to work. still not what i was looking for, but hey, it's an option.

here's a script i've made using aosd_cat, which displays the current volume clearly on the screen.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

case $1 in
+)
       amixer set Master 1dB+ ;;
-)
       amixer set Master 1dB- ;;
t)
       amixer set Master toggle -q ;;
*)
       exit;;
esac

VOLUME=$(amixer get Master | awk -F'[][]' '/Mono:/ {sub(/%/, ""); print $2; exit}')

echo "YOUR VOLUME IS CURRENTLY: $VOLUME" | aosd_cat --back-color="#3C3C3C" --fore-color="#FF0080" --font="Jura Light 50" --back-opacity=0 --fore-opacity=255 --fade-in=0 --fade-full=1500 --fade-out=0  --transparency=0 --position=4 --padding=23 --shadow-offset=0 --shadow-color="black" --shadow-opacity=0 --width=0

considered adding comments at certain levels such as "mind the children!" and "what will the neighbours think!?", but left that for now.

edit: forgot to mention that everything in this script except for the aosd-line is actually pidsley's :D
