I'm curious what's in those ${SCREENS_COUNT}screens.sh scripts. @zordsdavini Would you mind sharing them?

Either way I'm looking for way to setup qtile based on attached monitors. Most multiscreen setups depends on the hostname which doesn't work for me. Did I miss that in the docs?

Here's an idea - how about a sample configuration file that emulates the tmux keybindings?

Hi,

Is there a way to merge the percentage of two or three batteries and report as one into the battery widget ?

I have 5 Lenovo ThinkPad laptops and most of them have two batteries (internal + standard removable battery).

I have two battery widgets in the bar (one for BAT0 & and one for BAT1), that takes additional space into the bar and is kind of counter intuitive.
It would be great to have a feature/option/widget to report % for all available batteries into one icon/widget/percentage.

That would free up space for another widget (especially for laptops) and report as it should be (like Desktop Environments do, their menu bar battery percentage icon shows total percentage on how much battery you have from all of the batteries).

Current implementation:

Config: Link

I mean shouldn't examples have screenshots? How are people suppose to know how nice something looks if they can't see it.

Hello,
While trying to configure Qtile for my first use of it, I found that the documentation recommends running it in a secondary X session in order to test it.

When using the provided script ( qtile/scripts/xephyr), I get this error :

Kinda weird.

So I thought maybe I should try using startx.
Further reading the documentation, I've been led to this repository by a link saying it would contain examples of xinitrc files fitting my needs... but it doesn't ?

I never used startx before, only login managers.
And this is my first time using qtile so I don't know what sequence of action is recommended to start it from console/script.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

HI,
First of all sorry if this is not the place to ask for help,
I did tried the irc channel but there is only 2 people connected.
I've read the documentation but my issue is not explained there (or at least I didn't understood it).

I have 2 screens : one from my laptop, the seconde one a big ultrawide.
My idea is to work on the ultrawide screen and have only VIrtualbox or Social app on the laptop screen.
When I switch between groups, there is always (in the bar) a blue selected Group (which is i believe the main group I'm looking through the big monitor and a grey selected group which I believe is the Laptop screen.

When I switch on my main screen from a "Blue" Group to a "Grey" group, both groups are inverted between big monitor and laptop monitor. I Don"t want this to happen.

Furthermore, I want to limit my laptop screen to only and only one group "VBOX" in my instance.
here some of my config :

groups = [ 
    Group("MAIN"),
    Group("WWW"),
    Group("CHAT"),
    Group("VBOX"),
]

keys.extend([
    Key([mod], "q", lazy.group["MAIN"].toscreen()), 
    Key([mod, "shift"], "q", lazy.window.togroup("MAIN", switch_group=True)), 

    Key([mod], "s", lazy.group["WWW"].toscreen()),
    Key([mod, "shift"], "s", lazy.window.togroup("WWW", switch_group=True)),

    Key([mod], "d", lazy.group["CHAT"].toscreen()),
    Key([mod, "shift"], "d", lazy.window.togroup("CHAT", switch_group=True)),

    Key([mod], "f", lazy.group["VBOX"].toscreen()),
    Key([mod, "shift"], "f", lazy.window.togroup("VBOX", switch_group=True)),


def init_widget_big():
    res = [
        widget.CurrentLayout(),
        widget.GroupBox(visible_groups=["MAIN","WWW","CHAT"]),
        widget.Prompt(),
        widget.WindowName(),
        widget.Chord(
            chords_colors={
                'launch': ("#ff0000", "#ffffff"),
            },
            name_transform=lambda name: name.upper(),
        ),
        widget.TextBox("default config", name="default"),
        widget.TextBox("Press <M-r> to spawn", foreground="#d75f5f"),
        widget.Systray(),
        widget.Clock(format='%Y-%m-%d %a %I:%M %p'),
        widget.QuickExit(),
    ]
    return res

def init_widget_small():
    res = [
        widget.CurrentLayout(),
        widget.GroupBox(visible_groups=["VBOX"]),
        widget.WindowName(),
        widget.Chord(
            chords_colors={
                'launch': ("#ff0000", "#ffffff"),
            },
            name_transform=lambda name: name.upper(),
        ),
        widget.TextBox("Press <M-r> to spawn", foreground="#d75f5f"),
        widget.Systray(),
        widget.Clock(format='%Y-%m-%d %a %I:%M %p'),
        widget.QuickExit(),
    ]
    return res

screens = [
    # écran principal, 24 = taille de la bar
    Screen(top=bar.Bar(init_widget_small(),24)),
    # écran secondaire (WQHD)
    Screen(top=bar.Bar(init_widget_big(),24))

Almost all configurations use deprecated functions like

'nextlayout'
'prevlayout'

The examples could be a lot more useful to newcomers if there was the slightest bit of text describing the general features of the config files. The text does not need to be very in depth just something that would make the odds of finding something relevant to me better than 1 in N. For Example:

• carmen.py
  Optimized for netbook / small screen
• willis.py
  Heavily modified keyboard commands and multiple widgets
• nanette.py
  xrandr for multiple monitors, custom arrangement and multimedia friendly (now playing, mpd control, etc)
• leigh.py
  Imitates xmonad
• vanessa.py
  Application specific layouts
• karina.py
  Two monitors with task specific layouts
• buford.py
  Laptop and external monitor

I realize that it might be difficult to go back and fill in the details but at the very least have a contribution requirement that any PRs must be accompanied with a short blurb about the config to be added.

I have tried to use timelogger.py in @oboingo but nothing happen
I have made the log txt file in same location fixed missing . before config and imported the file to my config and still nothing happen

I tried to access docs.qtile.org but no response with message Server not found, I tried VPN and proxy sites but still no response with error message curl could not resolve host docs.qtile.org, So I thing the problem is not on my side.
