Icons on the left aren't appearing about material-awesome HOT 16 CLOSED

Also, I've switched my interface to the correct name in the wifi folder under widgets but it's not updating to show as connected even though I am. I see it's awking data out of /proc/net/wireless, looking under there on my system as my own user I only see the headers, but if I do it as root it shows all the info about my link.

Any way to work around this as well?

Guess I should also mention, I'm running Arch on a Macbook Pro, retina 2880x1800 screen, perhaps resolution is the reason for the icon issues? Not sure where to start.

Yeah it's probably the resolution ! Nice let's fix this together it's should be simple enough.

I need to switch any integer value for a dpi(value) to auto resize the pixels

from material-awesome.

That definitely sounds like it help, less dependancy on fixed sizes and would help to make it more response I guess would be the correct term. I'll wait for an attributed commit to get tagged to this issue and I'll test it out.

Try the last commit on master! How could I tag the commit?

You can reference issue numbers in your commit message and it will show up in the issue itself for you:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1687262/link-to-the-issue-number-on-github-within-a-commit-message

I'll give your commit a go and see how it handles. Be back in a few with a report.

Ok I pushed 2 commits :)

It works, the symbols are showing up now, but everything has become comically large lol

I should be able to get it changed to taste now that I have your changes as a reference though.

Also, I got the wireless portion working by adding a sudo command to the awk against /proc/net/wireless

Obviously, this only works if you're set for sudo nopass, but it's one work around I figured out and it fits for me.

It's seem that the font size was already scaled I rollbacked it. For the wifi it's strange that the sudo is required..

from material-awesome.

Yeah it's a bit odd, I think it has to do with the kernel being compiled with grsec vs a kernel that isn't.

You can see comparisions of my output here:

Maybe we should try another command to get the same infos. I'll check tomorrow it's a bit late in Europe atm!

from material-awesome.

Yeah man, take your time. My main concern was the icons and you fixed that promptly, everything else is just cherry on top. Appreciate your help, have a good night and thanks for the cool base configs!

Is iwconfig available without sudo on your distrib?

What doest echo /sys/class/net/*/wireless | awk -F'/' '{ print $5 }' return in your system?

I will need some update on this or I will close the issue 😞
