- ## Installation
+ ## Customization
- Clone repo, include widget and use it in **rc.lua**:
+ It is possible to customize widget by providing a table with all or some of the following config parameters:
```lua
-local volumebar_widget = require("awesome-wm-widgets.volumebar-widget.volumebar")
-...
-s.mytasklist, -- Middle widget
- { -- Right widgets
- layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
- ...
- 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
+})
```
+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.
