Module: wibox.widget.progressbar

A progressbar widget.

To add text on top of the progressbar, a wibox.layout.stack can be used:

wibox.widget {
    {
        max_value     = 1,
        value         = 0.5,
        forced_height = 20,
        forced_width  = 100,
        paddings      = 1,
        border_width  = 1,
        border_color  = beautiful.border_color,
        widget        = wibox.widget.progressbar,
    },
    {
        text   = '50%',
        widget = wibox.widget.textbox,
    },
    layout = wibox.layout.stack
}

To display the progressbar vertically, use a wibox.container.rotate widget:

wibox.widget {
    {
        max_value     = 1,
        value         = 0.33,
        widget        = wibox.widget.progressbar,
    },
    forced_height = 100,
    forced_width  = 20,
    direction     = 'east',
    layout        = wibox.container.rotate,
}

By default, this widget will take all the available size. To prevent this, a wibox.container.constraint widget or the forced_width/forced_height properties have to be used.

Usage:

wibox.widget {
    max_value     = 1,
    value         = 0.33,
    forced_height = 20,
    forced_width  = 100,
    shape         = gears.shape.rounded_bar,
    border_width  = 2,
    border_color  = beautiful.border_color,
    widget        = wibox.widget.progressbar,
}

Object methods

:setup {[args]}

Set a declarative widget hierarchy description. See The declarative layout system

Parameters:

• args An array containing the widgets disposition

:emit_signal_recursive (signal_name, ...)

Emit a signal and ensure all parent widgets in the hierarchies also forward the signal. This is useful to track signals when there is a dynamic set of containers and layouts wrapping the widget.

Parameters:

• signal_name string
• ... Other arguments

:emit_signal (name, ...)

Emit a signal.

Parameters:

• name string The name of the signal.
• ... Extra arguments for the callback functions. Each connected function receives the object as first argument and then any extra arguments that are given to emit_signal().

:connect_signal (name, func)

Connect to a signal.

Parameters:

• name string The name of the signal.
• func function The callback to call when the signal is emitted.

:weak_connect_signal (name, func)

Connect to a signal weakly.

This allows the callback function to be garbage collected and automatically disconnects the signal when that happens.

Warning: Only use this function if you really, really, really know what you are doing.

Parameters:

• name string The name of the signal.
• func function The callback to call when the signal is emitted.

Signals

widget::layout_changed

When the layout (size) change. This signal is emitted when the previous results of :layout() and :fit() are no longer valid. Unless this signal is emitted, :layout() and :fit() must return the same result when called with the same arguments.

See also:

widget::redraw_needed

widget::redraw_needed

When the widget content changed. This signal is emitted when the content of the widget changes. The widget will be redrawn, it is not re-layouted. Put differently, it is assumed that :layout() and :fit() would still return the same results as before.
