Can remove the Void-live name, What do you think ???

do not forget to update the system before installing packages, otherwise they will not be installed

xbps-install -u xbps
xbps-install -Su

and you will again shout that something is wrong with your repositories

I now have a Menu and a Logout Menu
install packages " elogind rofi i3lock xcompmgr "

Code: Select all

powermenu - MOD+Shift+x
rofi-menu - MOD+Shift+d

I've got the menus, but where are you getting the rofi themes? I can boot up bspwm or awesome and nab them from there I think.

Also, how are you setting the background image?

This is nice! Pulseaudio Volume Control is behaving now.

Rofi thread slipped my mind . Replace existing Rofi if already in /root/.config/
Hold in /root/.config/rofi

The code has been put in order, otherwise I have a mess there. replace
Added CPU temperature..

@Sofiya I installed all the necessary applications and rofi themes, and everything seems to be running well.

Workspace 1 is the Rox pinboard which completely covers the desktop background when no other applications are open on it. I'm wondering if I should ditch the pinboard at this point, and how to do it.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I remembered how to do it. Just comment out the line rox -p default from .xinitrc

where did your CPU sensor go?

Good question. I'll look into it.

I don't think I changed anything in spectrwm.conf.

I did a system update and cpupower was included in the update.

I also installed api and all the other packages you had listed.

Oh, that pic is from before updating. I think it still there. I'm in Airedale, but I'll check.

Sorry,

That pic was from before I updated everything!

I'll boot up and check. I just squashed last nights work and I'm in KLV-Airedale.

I'm going to do another version using the Polybar and see how it goes.Should look good

Well the cpu is not in the bar.

@Sofiya I used the v4 tar package from here: viewtopic.php?p=100592#p100592

but I noticed all the dates on the files were the same when I copied in the new ones, and they were defiinitely from the unpacked v4 tarball.

Is it possible that if I didn't have all the packages installed before booting that some config was overwritten?

I notice that mod+h is used twice in the spectwm.conf. I changed bind[layout_vertical] to MOD+Shift+h

# Layout switch
 bind[cycle_layout]	      = MOD+space
 bind[flip_layout]	      = MOD+v
 bind[layout_horizontal]  = MOD+Shift+v
 bind[layout_vertical]    = MOD+h ######## HERE ###########
 bind[layout_max]         = MOD+m
 bind[maximize_toggle]    = MOD+Shift+m
 bind[float_toggle]	      = MOD+t
# Minimize and restore windows
 bind[iconify]		      = MOD+i
 bind[uniconify]		  = MOD+Shift+i

#bind[focus_main]	= MOD+m
 bind[focus_next]	= MOD+Tab
#bind[focus_next]	= MOD+j
#bind[focus_prev]	= MOD+Shift+Tab
#bind[focus_prev]	= MOD+Shift+k
#bind[focus_urgent]	= MOD+u
 bind[master_add]	= MOD+j     # increase master area
 bind[master_del]	= MOD+k     # decrease master area
 bind[master_grow]	= MOD+h ######### AND HERE #############

Yes, acpi, and all other packages installed.

I deleted the save and re-uploaded Spectrwm-bar-v4.1.tar.gz everything works, everything shows .
the sensor file is located in /root/.config/spectrwm/baraction.sh

My new build Spectrwm + polybar panel
It is also possible to switch between panels to suit your taste, but I think the half-bar panel is great.
consumed resources remain the same.

Final result
If you don't like it, I'll go back to the first option.Your opinion ???

@Sofiya I like it.

It is a really clean look with the important metrics displayed neatly. Well done!

We'll need the configuration file and what steps you did to get the polybar going

the configuration file will be a little later, I'm trying to make it as small as possible and at the same time useful. I'll check the code and publish it later. I just need to put it all together this is the beautiful Spectrwm I will get after
I will also try to register the application to open by clicking on the volume icons (Pavucontrol)

Install xbps-install -Su polybar

replace all existing files on your system previously installed

Oh yeah! This is great. I didn't even have to rebuild my system. I rolled back upper_changes a bit, unsquashed the v4.1 layer, and installed the new config files.

I like this Spectr I think even better than the fancier tiling window managers. This is the cleanest looking bar also. And my cpu is showing.

Thanks @Sofiya!

I just ran into an issue with the MOD+space cycle through the ws layout key binding. I cycled once to split horizontally successfully, but the next space bar resulted in the screen flickering and system hanging. I did a hard shutdown.

I'm wondering about the MOD+h keybinding being used twice in the spectrwm.conf also.

line 266
bind[layout_vertical] = MOD+h

line 282
bind[master_grow] = MOD+h

Do you have a wired or wireless network?
I have Wi-Fi - wlo1, you probably have a different network value if you use Wi-Fi, so your network is not displayed. You will need to manually change the value for your network

ip link

and see what your networks are called

The wireless card on this machine doesn't work with any OS, so it's either broken or it's a driver issue. I'm using eth0.

then you need to write in root/.config/polybar/config "interface = eth0" after line 917 in the module [module/wired-network]

I don't know anything about keys and bindings, I can't help you with that .
comment out the keys that you don’t need or don’t know what they are for

That did it, network is showing in the polybar.

I just checked and pressed Mode + Tab and my screen also flickered on the 2nd press. I found another part of the code and tried it, it seems to work as it should Tab
