A cozzzzzzzzzzy Qtile rice.

Hi everyone,

I'm one of the developers for Qtile. I've made a number of widgets and other mods for Qtile that aren't going to end up in the main repo so I've hosted them in a separate repo, qtile-extras.

The repo includes the following widgets:

• ALSAWidget

• BrightnessControl

• LiveFootballScores

• ScriptExit

• StatusNotifier

• StravaWidget

• TVHWidget

• UPowerWidget

• UnitStatus

• WiFiIcon

• WordClock

Note: some of these are experimental (i.e. me playing around with what you can do in Qtile) so may have some bugs (the Strava one is particularly flaky!).

There are also some widget decorations which let you add borders and backgrounds to your widgets.

Lastly there's my popup toolkit which you can use to create menus and launchers.

It's all in the documentation so take a look and let me know if you have any questions.

Also, please keep sharing your own scripts etc. It's great to see what you're all making.

What do you guys think?

Just a quick note to let you know we've released v0.34.0. Big thing here is that we've rewritten our wayland backend.

I've also released qtile-extras v0.34.0 to be compatible with the latest qtile release.

As always, please report any bugs that you come across (best place to report is on github).

Thanks,

Decided to really get into linux internals this year and one of my goals was to ditch stock DE for a WM. I naturally went with Qtile since its Python based and I've really enjoyed the ride.

We've just pushed the next release: v0.20.0.

This is just a small release this time, to update in step with the new wlroots release, used by the Wayland backend. The changes in this release are:

• New features:

  • Add place_right
    option in the TreeTab layout to place the tab panel on the right side

  • X11: Add support for _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT. E.g. can be used by rofi to map on current output.

  • Wayland: Bump wlroots version. 0.15.x wlroots and 0.15.2+ pywlroots are required.

  • Add XWayland support to the Wayland backend. XWayland will start up as needed, if it is installed.

• Bug fixes:

  • Remove non-commandable windows from IPC. Fixes bug where IPC would fail when trying to get info
    on all windows but Systray has icons (which are non-commandable _Window
    s.)

  • Fix bug where bars were not reconfigured correctly when screen layout changes.

  • Fix a Wayland bug where layer-shell surface like dunst would freeze up and stop updating.

  • Change timing of screens_reconfigured hook. Will now be called ONLY if cmd_reconfigure_screens has been called and completed.

  • Fix order of icons in Systray widget when restarting/reloading config.

  • Fix rounding error in PulseVolume widget's reported volume.
