From 25d9eecfc68df3251dc96008aaa4cd7c81900da6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: streetturtle Date: Fri, 19 Mar 2021 20:49:00 -0400 Subject: [volume] BREAKING CHANGE - new widget instead of old ones Having three widgets for volume led to a problem of code duplication - same logic was duplicated three times. However when an issue was discovered and fixed, it was fixed in only one of three widgets. So I decided to create a volume widget from scratch, adding new features, such as selecting input/output, better responsiveness, easily customizable widget ui (bar, text, icon, icon and text, arc). Should close #199, #198, #185, #182, #47, #122, #183. --- experiments/volume/README.md | 112 ------------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 112 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 experiments/volume/README.md (limited to 'experiments/volume/README.md') diff --git a/experiments/volume/README.md b/experiments/volume/README.md deleted file mode 100644 index 973bb49..0000000 --- a/experiments/volume/README.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,112 +0,0 @@ -# Volume widget - -Volume widget based on [amixer](https://linux.die.net/man/1/amixer) (is used for controlling the audio volume) and [pacmd](https://linux.die.net/man/1/pacmd) (is used for selecting a sink/source).
