+## Customization
+It is possible to customize widget by providing a table with all or some of the following config parameters:
+
+| Name | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `main_color` | `beautiful.fg_normal` | Color of the bar |
+| `mute_color` | `beautiful.fg_urgent` | Color of the bar when mute |
+| `width` | 50 | The bar width |
+| `shape` | `bar` | [gears.shape](https://awesomewm.org/doc/api/libraries/gears.shape.html), could be `octogon`, `hexagon`, `powerline`, etc |
+| `margin` | `10` | Top and bottom margin (if your wibar is 22 px high, bar will be 2 px (22 - 2*10)) |
+| `get_volume_cmd` | `amixer -D pulse sget Master` | Get current volume level |
+| `inc_volume_cmd` | `amixer -D pulse sset Master 5%+` | Increase volume level |
+| `dec_volume_cmd` | `amixer -D pulse sset Master 5%-` | Descrease volume level |
+| `tog_volume_cmd` | `amixer -D pulse sset Master toggle` | Mute / unmute |
+
+### Example:
+
```lua
-local volumebar_widget = require("awesome-wm-widgets.volumebar-widget.volumebar")
-...
-s.mytasklist, -- Middle widget
- { -- Right widgets
- layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
- ...
- volumebar_widget,
- ...
+ volumebar_widget({
+ main_color = '#af13f7',
+ mute_color = '#ff0000',
+ width = 80,
+ shape = 'rounded_bar',
+ margins = 8
+})
```
+Above config results in following widget:

+
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Clone this repo under **~/.config/awesome/**
+
+ ```bash
+ git clone https://github.com/streetturtle/awesome-wm-widgets.git ~/.config/awesome/
+ ```
+
+1. Require volumebar widget at the beginning of **rc.lua**:
+
+ ```lua
+ local volumebar_widget = require("awesome-wm-widgets.volumebar-widget.volumebar")
+ ```
+
+1. Add widget to the tasklist:
+
+ ```lua
+ s.mytasklist, -- Middle widget
+ { -- Right widgets
+ layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
+ ...
+ --[[default]]
+ volumebar_widget(),
+ --[[or customized]]
+ volumebar_widget({
+ main_color = '#af13f7',
+ mute_color = '#ff0000',
+ width = 80,
+ shape = 'rounded_bar', -- octogon, hexagon, powerline, etc
+ -- bar's height = wibar's height minus 2x margins
+ margins = 8
+ }),
+
+ ...
+ ```
+
## Troubleshooting
If the bar is not showing up, try to decrease top or bottom margin - widget uses hardcoded margins for vertical alignment, so if your wibox is too small then bar is simply hidden by the margins.
