* Add toggle_visible action
* Add set_visible and set_invisible actions
* Rename toggle_visible method to match
`action_toggle_visible` -> `action_toggle_visibility`
Matches with `EVENT_TOGGLE_VISIBILITY`
* Update CHANGELOG
* Revert #2320 IPC commands
IPC commands are no longer necessary now that the actions are
implemented. Changed some method permissions as well to reflect this.
* Add logging and change action names
- `module_toggle`
- `module_show`
- `module_hide`
Delineate common actions to all modules with a `module_` prefix (for
future actions too)
* Update documentation
Before sphinx 4.0, this was the default but was changed in 4.0.
Now by default the folder structure looks like this:
man
├── 1
│ └── polybar.1
└── 5
└── polybar.5
This restores the old behavior where there weren't individual folders
for the different sections.
Fixes#2424
Ref: https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/changes.html#id14
Add a config parser method which, for now, deals only with escaping the
literal backslash character and logs an error message to inform the user
of the coming change.
The error message includes a properly escaped value for the user.
As a result of introducing an escape character('\'):
- Warn the user of any unescaped backslashes, as they will not be
treated as a literal character in the future
- For now, still treat a single backslash as a literal character
- Treat two consecutive backslashes as a single properly escaped
literal backslash
Also:
- Add documentation about the escape character to polybar(5) manpage
- Add info about the escape character to changelog
- Add testcases for ParseLineKeyTest
- Add new test ParseEscapedValueTest
Resolves: First step in #2354
Improve value parsing
- Take value arg in as an rvalue reference and move parsed value back
- Remove unnecessary if statement
- Rename function
- Improve error message
- Improve function description
- Format
Add escape character documentation to manpages
Add information about the escape character to the polybar(5) manpage.
Add info about the esacape character to changelog

Fix ParseLineKeyTest test cases
Also make config parser method parse_escaped_value private.
Add tests for escaped_value_parser method
Also remove unsued include statement
Simplify parse_escaped_value in config_parser
Remove unnecessary escaped value generation, so we do not have to keep
track of index differences.

Each major target of polybar can now be enabled/disabled while
configuring (even polybar itself).
The cmake code specific to each target will only run if the target is
enabled.
This allows us to for example just build the documentation without
having to run all the cmake code related to compilation or having the
polybar dependencies installed (other than sphinx).
* Added .ini extension check to default config
* Added change to changelog and man page
* Added change to changelog and man page
* removed .vscode folder
* removed new lines in changelog
Searching up from the conf.py only works if it is inside the repository
and not for out-of-tree builds (because conf.py gets configured in the
build directory).
If git is not available (and it doesn't have to be when building from a
source archive) building the documentation fails because we use
`git rev-parse` to determine whether a certain version is unreleased.
We now use the version.txt file to do this check
This uses the packaging library, but this should not introduce a new
dependency because sphinx depends on setuptools which also depends on
that library.
Fixes#2309
* Adopt keep a changelog
Ref: https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/
* Add changelog to release and contributing docs
* Use H2 for automatically added Download section
The individual changelog subsections use H3 and the changelog section
uses H2, so the Download section should use the same heading
* Add already present changes to changelog
* Mention changelog issue references in CONTRIBUTING.md
Whenever a release is published, this action will create a release
archive and update the release body with a download section.
This also integrates the suggestions from #2276Resolves#2276
If we build only the documentation by invoking `cmake` on the `doc`
folder, the `SPHINX_BUILD` variable is not set and instead of
```
sphinx-build -b html ...
```
it will just execute
```
-b html ...
```
This produces an error but doesn't fail the build because apparently if
the command starts with a dash an error is non-fatal.
Fixes#2191
The Gitter room https://gitter.im/polybar/polybar should serve a similar
purpose as the IRC room with the benefit that messages persist and can
be received when offline.
From now on gitter should be the place where the polybar community
lives. Reddit is great for asking longer questions in the style of a
forum but not so great for quick back and forth conversations. IRC is
better in that aspect but has the serious downside that you have to stay
connected to get an answer and messages are not logged (only by your
client).
Both reddit and IRC are here to stay and I will still check them
regularly, but we should encourage people to join gitter.
* Use GNUInstallDirs instead of hardcoded paths
This change should be a no-op in the normal case and at the same time make it
easier to customise polybar builds on systems with special needs.
* Avoid creating /usr/share/doc/polybar/polybar/*
* Include GNUInstallDirs for the doc target itself
* cmake: Don't try to set CMAKE_INSTALL_* variables
Since we include GNUInstallDirs all these variables are already set
* cmake: Print install directories in summary
* fix(cmake): Make doc-only work like normal build
This is kind of a dirty hack to force CMAKE_INSTALL_DOCDIR to use
`polybar` as the project name when only polybar-doc is built.
Maybe it is wiser at some point to be able to do a doc only build (and
install) that can be done from the top level project. Then we would also
not need to include GNUInstallDirs here
rtd scans the project for a conf.py file so we cannot name it conf.py.in
unless we get rtd to run cmake before building.
The easier option is to have doc/conf.py be the file used by rtd and all
other builds use cmake to first configure it.
This also moves the doc generation completely into cmake (no more
Makefile).
To generate the docs the project needs to first be configured and then
`make doc` can be run.
The approach used is leaned on the cmake's project own use of Sphinx:
Utilities/Sphinx/CMakeLists.txt
This allows us to also have the manual as part of the generated html
documentation.
The syntax is also easier to use.
Right now the man page installed on the system is not replaced with the
rst file, this will come in a later step
This option is no longer necessary because the tray background color can now
simply be set to any (semi-)transparent color (just like the bar background).
It's quite obscure where to find that you can set a minimum width for tokens, and CPU usage will oscillate between 0-9 and 10+ quite frequently. I think that adding this to the example config will help users to find out that this feature exists, and avoid this annoying default.
expand-right defaults to true to preserve the current functionality
If set to false, the items in the menu will be added to the left of the
toggle label (instead of the right side)
Should resolve the issue discussed in #655
This removes the spacing tinkering when parsing format specs.
The following example uses the old behavoir:
format-test = <label-foo> <label-bar>
format-breaks = <label-foo><label-bar>/<bar-test>
`format-test` would replace all occurences of ' ' with the
a space string with defined `spacing` as its width. `format-breaks` would
not validate as the tags where split with ' ' as delimiter.
All that nonsense has been removed and each tag is extracted as is.
The `spacing` parameter can still be used to apply N extra whitespaces
between the tags, but it is now 0 by default.
