A simple dialog that displays a progress bar, and can be adjusted in preset increments using SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2. It lives for 2 seconds, then dies, or resets the timer if it receives a signal.
Depends on librsvg (to draw the icon), x11 and Cairo.
Usage:
reentrant-progress-notificator <mod-val> <init-val> -- To run initial instance
reentrant-progress-notificator (+|-) <pid> -- A simple wrapper around `kill(3)`
to prevent accidentally sending a
signal to a wrong process
Example:
~$ reentrant-progress-notificator 2 50
...
~$ reentrant-progress-notificator + $(pidof reentrant-progress-notificator)
Check man page or --help for all the options.
How it looks like:
The muddy looking background is due to the fact that background is set to be semi-transparent, and the compositor setup I use that blurs the background of focused windows.
How to plug into .xmonad.hs (via volume-notification script and pamixer dependency):
, ((noModMask, 0x1008ff13), spawn "volume-notification up") -- More volume
, ((noModMask, 0x1008ff11), spawn "volume-notification down") -- Less volume
the hotkeys refer to VolumeUp and VolumeDown standard media keys.
Notice that the increment unit has to be the same (2 in this case).
Additions to your manageHook, necessary to un-tile the window and center
it:
, className =? "reentrant-progress-notificator" --> placeHook(fixed (0.5, 0.5)) <+> doFloat
