spotify in about awesome_config HOT 11 CLOSED

your panel code seems to be hidden under beautiful.at_screen_connect(s)

but anyway general way to use it is (example on default rc.lua):

    -- Add widgets to the wibox
    s.mywibox:setup {
        layout = wibox.layout.align.horizontal,
        { -- Left widgets
            layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
            mylauncher,
            s.mytaglist,
            s.mypromptbox,
        },
        s.mytasklist, -- Middle widget
        { -- Right widgets
            layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
            require("actionless.widgets.music").widget{
              backends={"spotify", },
              bg="#0e0021",
              fg="#fe3383",
              pause_bg="#888a85",
              pause_fg="#123412",
            },
            mykeyboardlayout,
            wibox.widget.systray(),
            mytextclock,
            s.mylayoutbox,
        },
    }

available backends are: { 'mpd', 'cmus', 'spotify', 'clementine', }

you can choose more than one and switch them with the right mouse button

you'll need to copy actionless directory from my config to ~/.config/awesome/

from awesome_config.

I put it in like this. But i have red popup errors and i have a double panel now.

I don't think i did it right if you can help

-- Create a wibox for each screen and add it
awful.screen.connect_for_each_screen(function(s) beautiful.at_screen_connect(s) end)
-- }}}
    -- Add widgets to the wibox
    s.mywibox:setup {
        layout = wibox.layout.align.horizontal,
        { -- Left widgets
            layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
            mylauncher,
            s.mytaglist,
            s.mypromptbox,
        },

yup, because instead of updating your code in_screen_connect function you just inserted the code after, so you have two panels

from awesome_config.

so how do i fix

from awesome_config.

you're trying to modify the config which you don't understand -- that's the root cause

try to use default rc.lua as a base for your own config so it will be easier for you to understand the configuration process and use help articles (because in most of examples default rc.lua is used)

and not just copy paste the snippets -- try to put code line by line and really understand what it does and why it's there

from awesome_config.

so if its not too much trouble to ask? can you tell me how to put your Spotify code in my rc.lua. I get those red errors every time i try to put in what you gave me.

from awesome_config.

from awesome_config.

from awesome_config.

from awesome_config.
