Object properties

🔗 markup string · 1 signal

Set the HTML text of the textbox.

The main difference between text and markup is that markup is able to render a small subset of HTML tags. See the Pango markup) documentation to see what is and isn't valid in this property.

 local w = wibox.widget {
     markup = "This is some <i>text</i>, <b>HTML tags</b> <u>WILL</u> work.",
     widget = wibox.widget.textbox,
 }

The wibox.widget.textbox colors are usually set by wrapping into a wibox.container.background widget, but can also be done using the markup:

 local w = wibox.widget {
     markup = "<span background='#ff0000' foreground='#0000ff'>Some</span>"..
       " nice <span foreground='#00ff00'>colors!</span>",
     widget = wibox.widget.textbox,
 }

Constraints:

Default value : self.text
Valid values : The text to set. This can contain pango markup (e.g. <b>bold</b>). You can use gears.string.escape to escape parts of it.

Emit signals:

  • property::markup When the markup value changes.
    • self wibox.widget.textbox The object which changed (useful when connecting many object to the same callback).
    • new_value markup The new value affected to the property.
🔗 text string · 1 signal

Set a textbox plain text.

This property renders the text as-is, it does not interpret it:

 local w = wibox.widget {
     text   = "This is some <i>text</i>, <b>HTML tags</b> will <u>NOT</u> work.",
     widget = wibox.widget.textbox,
 }

One exception are the control characters, which are interpreted:

 local w = wibox.widget {
     text   = "This is some text\nover\nmultiple lines!",
     widget = wibox.widget.textbox,
 }

Constraints:

Default value : ""
Valid values : The text to display. Pango markup is ignored and shown as-is.

🔗 font font · 1 signal · 1 theme variable

Set a textbox font.

There is multiple valid font string representation. The most precise is XFT. It is also possible to use the family name, followed by the face and size such as Monospace Bold 10. This script lists the fonts present on your system:

#!/usr/bin/env lua

local lgi = require("lgi")
local pangocairo = lgi.PangoCairo

local font_map = pangocairo.font_map_get_default()

for k, v in pairs(font_map:list_families()) do
    print(v:get_name(), "monospace?: "..tostring(v:is_monospace()))
    for k2, v2 in ipairs(v:list_faces()) do
        print("    ".. v2:get_face_name())
    end
end

Save this script somewhere on your system, chmod +x it and run it. It will list something like:

Sans    monospace?: false
    Regular
    Bold
    Italic
    Bold Italic

In this case, the font could be Sans 10 or Sans Bold Italic 10.

Here are examples of several font families:

Usage example output:

sans 0 sans NORMAL NORMAL
Roboto, Bold 0 Roboto NORMAL NORMAL
DejaVu Sans, Oblique 0 DejaVu Sans NORMAL OBLIQUE
Noto Mono, Regular 0 Noto Mono NORMAL NORMAL

Usage example:

local pango = require("lgi").Pango
local fonts = {
    "sans",
    "Roboto, Bold",
    "DejaVu Sans, Oblique",
    "Noto Mono, Regular"
}

for _, font in ipairs(fonts) do
    local w = wibox.widget {
        font   = font,
        text   = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog!",
        widget = wibox.widget.textbox,
    }

    -- Use the low level Pango API to validate the font was parsed properly.
    local desc = pango.FontDescription.from_string(w.font)
    print(
        string.format(
            "%s %d %s %s %s",
            w.font,
            desc:get_size(),
            desc:get_family(),
            desc:get_variant(),
            desc:get_style()
         )
    )
end

The font size is a number at the end of the font description string:

for _, font in ipairs { "sans 8", "sans 10", "sans 12", "sans 14" } do
    local w = wibox.widget {
        font   = font,
        text   = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog!",
        widget = wibox.widget.textbox,
    }
end

Constraints:

Default value : beautiful.font
Type description:

Object methods

🔗 :get_preferred_size (s) -> (number, number)
Get the preferred size of a textbox.

This returns the size that the textbox would use if infinite space were available.

Parameters:

Name Type(s) Description
s integer or screen The screen on which the textbox will be displayed.

Returns:

  1. number The preferred width.
  2. number The preferred height.

Returns:

    number The needed height.
🔗 :get_preferred_size_at_dpi (dpi) -> (number, number)
Get the preferred size of a textbox.

This returns the size that the textbox would use if infinite space were available.

Parameters:

Name Type(s) Description
dpi number The DPI value to render at.

Returns:

  1. number The preferred width.
  2. number The preferred height.
🔗 :get_height_for_width_at_dpi (width, dpi) -> number
Get the preferred height of a textbox at a given width.

This returns the height that the textbox would use when it is limited to the given width.

Parameters:

🔗 :add_button (button) · Inherited from wibox.widget.base
Add a new awful.button to this widget.

Parameters:

Name Type(s) Description
button awful.button The button to add.
🔗 :emit_signal_recursive (signal_name, ...) · Inherited from wibox.widget.base

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.

Note that this function has some flaws:

  1. The signal is only forwarded once the widget tree has been built. This happens after all currently scheduled functions have been executed. Therefore, it will not start to work right away.
  2. In case the widget is present multiple times in a single widget tree, this function will also forward the signal multiple times (once per upward tree path).
  3. If the widget is removed from the widget tree, the signal is still forwarded for some time, similar to the first case.

Parameters:

Name Type(s) Description
signal_name string
... Other arguments
🔗 :index (widget, recursive, ...) -> (number, widget, table) · Inherited from wibox.widget.base
Get the index of a widget.

Parameters:

Name Type(s) Description
widget widget The widget to look for.
recursive Optional boolean Recursively check accross the sub-widgets hierarchy.
... Optional widget Additional widgets to add at the end of the sub-widgets hierarchy "path".

Returns:

  1. number The widget index.
  2. widget The parent widget.
  3. table The hierarchy path between "self" and "widget".
🔗 :connect_signal (name, func) · Inherited from gears.object

Parameters:

Name Type(s) Description
name string The name of the signal.
func function The callback to call when the signal is emitted.

Usage:

    local o = gears.object{}
-- Function can be attached to signals
local function slot(obj, a, b, c)
    print("In slot", obj, a, b, c)
end
o:connect_signal("my_signal", slot)
-- Emitting can be done without arguments. In that case, the object will be
-- implicitly added as an argument.
o:emit_signal "my_signal"
-- It is also possible to add as many random arguments are required.
o:emit_signal("my_signal", "foo", "bar", 42)
-- Finally, to allow the object to be garbage collected (the memory freed), it
-- is necessary to disconnect the signal or use weak_connect_signal
o:disconnect_signal("my_signal", slot)
-- This time, the slot wont be called as it is no longer connected.
o:emit_signal "my_signal"
🔗 :weak_connect_signal (name, func) · Inherited from gears.object

... 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()

Signals

🔗 widget::layout_changed · Inherited from wibox.widget.base
