# AwesomeWM
Set of simple widgets for Awesome Window Manager consists of following widgets:
- [Battery Widget](https://github.com/streetturtle/AwesomeWM#battery-widget)
- [Email Widget](https://github.com/streetturtle/AwesomeWM#email-widget)
- [Mouse Battery Widget](https://github.com/streetturtle/AwesomeWM#mouse-battery-widget)
- [Rates Widget](https://github.com/streetturtle/AwesomeWM#rates-widget)
- [Spotify Widget](https://github.com/streetturtle/AwesomeWM#spotify-widget)
- [Volume Control Widget](https://github.com/streetturtle/AwesomeWM#volume-control-widget)
Note that these widgets work with Awesome WM 3.5 version. I'm currently migrating them to 4.0.
## Battery widget
This widget consists of
- an icon which shows the battery status: 
- a pop-up window, which shows up when you hover over it: 
- a pop-up warning message which appears when battery level is less that 15%: 
**Installation**
This widget uses the output of acpi tool.
- install `acpi` tool:
```
sudo apt-get install acpi
```
- clone/copy battery.lua file and battery-icons folder to your ~/home/username/.config/awesome/ folder;
- change path to the icons in `battery.lua`;
- include `battery.lua` and add battery widget to your wibox in rc.lua:
```
require("battery")
...
right_layout:add(batteryIcon)
```
---
## Email widget
This widget consists of an icon with counter which shows number of unread emails: 
and a popup message which appears when mouse hovers over an icon: 
**Installation**
To install it either clone [EmailWidget](https://github.com/streetturtle/AwesomeWM/tree/master/EmailWidget) project under `~/.config/awesome/` or download a .zip archive and unzip it there.
After provide your credentials in python scripts so that they could connect to server and add following lines in your **rc.lua** file:
```lua
require("email")
...
right_layout:add(emailWidget_icon)
right_layout:add(emailWidget_counter)
```
**How it works**
This widget uses the output of two python scripts, first is called every 5 seconds - it returns number of unread emails and second is called when mouse hovers over an icon and displays content of those emails. For both of them you'll need to provide your credentials and imap server. For testing they can simply be called from console:
```bash
python ~/.config/awesome/email/countUnreadEmails.py
python ~/.config/awesome/email/readEmails.py
```
Note that getting number of unread emails could take some time, so instead of `pread` or `spawn_with_shell` functions I use DBus, you can read more about it in [this](http://pavelmakhov.com/2015/09/fix-awesome-freezes) post.

## Mouse Battery Widget
This widget shows the battery status of wireless mouse: 
Include `mouse-battery` and add battery widget to your wibox in rc.lua (you can use both icon and text, or any of them separately):
```lua
require("mouse-battery")
...
right_layout:add(mouse_battery_icon) -- icon
right_layout:add(mouse_widget) -- text
```
