# YAWL (yet another widget library)
This is my shot to create an Awesome Widget Library. Since I dislike all the
other one I found, I created mine.
Consider all this as **experimental**.
## Overview
All the things are wrapped into module.
Each module in the widget folder provides it's own widget.
Each widget is made of two component, an icon and some text.
## Usage
Let's consider the battery widget
To use it, ensure `yawl` is in the awesome config directory, then add
```lua
local battery = require("yawl.widgets.battery")
[..]
s.mywibox:setup {
{ -- Right widgets
battery.widget(),
},
}
```
### Configuration
Widgets colors can be configured using the following variables in your `theme.lua`
```lua
-- YAWL required theme settings
theme.yawl_font = theme.font
theme.yawl_bg = "#458588" -- default bg
theme.yawl_bg_ok = "#98971a" -- no email
theme.yawl_bg_nok = "#fb4934" -- email in mailbox
theme.yawl_fg = "#FFFFFF" -- default fg
theme.yawl_spotify_absent = theme.bg_normal -- bg when spotify not running
theme.yawl_spotify_pause = "#d79921" -- bg when spotify running (paused)
theme.yawl_spotify_play = "#d3869b" -- bg when spotify running (playing)
theme.yawl_battery_full = "#b8bb26" -- battery full + 70%
theme.yawl_battery_mid = "#d79921" -- battery medium 30% - 70%
theme.yawl_battery_low = "#fb4934" -- battery low - 30%
```
Mail widget take path to watched imap folder as an argument
```lua
mails.widget("/home/papey/mails/bt/Inbox/new"),
```
## Dependencies
Here is a list of some dependencies required by some modules
- spotify : requires [playerctl](https://github.com/altdesktop/playerctl) to get current playing status
- pomodoro : requires [calabash](https://github.com/papey/calabash) to track pomodoro sessions and `dkjson` to parse calabash client output
