Questions about Tasklist and calendar

[elyahw]

Hello, I have 2 questions:

1. I am using this calendar:
   

mytextcalendar = wibox.widget.textclock("%d %b %Y", 2, "Europe/London")

local function rounded_shape(size, partial)
    if partial then
        return function(cr, width, height)
                   gears.shape.partially_rounded_rect(cr, width, height,
                        false, true, false, true, 5)
               end
    else
        return function(cr, width, height)
                   gears.shape.rounded_rect(cr, width, height, size)
               end
    end
end

local month_calendar = awful.widget.calendar_popup.year({
                 font = "monaco 11", 
                 opacity=0.8,
                 spacing=0,
                 margin=0,
                 style_month   = { padding      = 0,
                                   bg_color     = '#222222',
                                   border_width = 3,
                                   border_color = '#222222',
                                   shape        = rounded_shape(10)},
                 style_normal  = { shape    = rounded_shape(5), },
                 style_focus   = { fg_color = '#222222',
                                   bg_color = '#ff9800',
                                   shape    = rounded_shape(5, true)},
                 style_header  = { fg_color = '#ff9800',
                                   border_width = 0,
                                   shape    = rounded_shape(10)},
                                   
                 style_yearheader = {border_width = 0,
                                     bg_color = '#222222',
                                     fg_color = '#ff9800'},
                                     
                 style_weekday = { fg_color = '#de5e1e',
                                   border_width = 0,
                                   shape    = rounded_shape(5)}
                 })
month_calendar:attach( mytextcalendar, "tr", { on_hover = false, })

How can I colour Sundays and Saturdays in a slightly different colour please? I.e. like this one:

https://awesomewm.org/doc/api/classes/wibox.widget.calendar.html#wibox.widget.calendar.fn_embed

Another thing is: Is there a way to disable the mouse scroll key to change the year (it moves multiple years at a time), for example use arrow keys instead?

---

2. The tasklist widget layout can be set to either wibox.layout.flex.horizontal() or wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal(). Is it possible to set it to fixed, then only when it is full, change this setting to flexible? Thanks.

it's literally specified by that link which you provided yourself:

I did this:

mytextcalendar = wibox.widget.textclock("%d %b %Y", 2, "Europe/London")

local function rounded_shape(size, partial)
    if partial then
        return function(cr, width, height)
                   gears.shape.partially_rounded_rect(cr, width, height,
                        false, true, false, true, 5)
               end
    else
        return function(cr, width, height)
                   gears.shape.rounded_rect(cr, width, height, size)
               end
    end
end

local function decorate_cell(widget, flag, date)
    if flag=='monthheader' and not styles.monthheader then
        flag = 'header'
    end
    local props = styles[flag] or {}
    if props.markup and widget.get_text and widget.set_markup then
        widget:set_markup(props.markup(widget:get_text()))
    end
    -- Change bg color for weekends
    local d = {year=date.year, month=(date.month or 1), day=(date.day or 1)}
    local weekday = tonumber(os.date('%w', os.time(d)))
    local default_bg = (weekday==0 or weekday==6) and '#232323' or '#383838'
    local ret = wibox.widget {
        {
            widget,
            margins = (props.padding or 2) + (props.border_width or 0),
            widget  = wibox.container.margin
        },
        shape              = props.shape,
        shape_border_color = props.border_color or '#b9214f',
        shape_border_width = props.border_width or 0,
        fg                 = '#999999',
        bg                 = '#000000',
        widget             = wibox.container.background
    }
    return ret
end

local month_calendar = awful.widget.calendar_popup.year({
                 font = "monaco 11", 
                 opacity=0.8,
                 spacing=0,
                 margin=0,
                 fn_embed = decorate_cell, -- <=========================================
                 style_month   = { padding      = 0,
                                   bg_color     = '#222222',
                                   border_width = 3,
                                   border_color = '#222222',
                                   shape        = rounded_shape(10)},
                 style_normal  = { shape    = rounded_shape(5), },
                 style_focus   = { fg_color = '#222222',
                                   bg_color = '#ff9800',
                                   shape    = rounded_shape(5, true)},
                 style_header  = { fg_color = '#ff9800',
                                   border_width = 0,
                                   shape    = rounded_shape(10)},
                                   
                 style_yearheader = {border_width = 0,
                                     bg_color = '#222222',
                                     fg_color = '#ff9800'},
                                     
                 style_weekday = { fg_color = '#de5e1e',
                                   border_width = 0,
                                   shape    = rounded_shape(5)}
                 })
month_calendar:attach( mytextcalendar, "tr", { on_hover = false, })

But it doesn't work.

[actionless]

does it works if you just copy-paste it from the example, ie:

?

[actionless]

because you're using calendar_popup, not calendar, it's a different widget, with a different documentation: https://awesomewm.org/doc/api/classes/awful.widget.calendar_popup.html

[elyahw]

Thank you. I see, this makes sense.

How can you use the variable cal? What do I do with it? Linking it to popup like this does not work:
cal:attach( mytextcalendar, "tr", { on_hover = true, })

[actionless]

this does not work:

of course it won't - such method not documented for it to work

see the source of calendar_popup - you can copy it to your local config, and modify to use your customized calendar widget

also feel free to make a PR to expose fn_embed argument into calendar_popup widget
