2026-02-09 19:09:59 +0100 <ghormoon> hi, i've managed to map out my audio volume/mute on my laptop fn keys, but now i'm thinking, does anyone have a hint how to do some pretty visual output for volume? like most desktop envs have, when you have it, it shows the percentage bar over windows for a second or two
2026-02-09 19:33:40 +0100 <geekosaur> nothing provided (you're usually better off using a volume manager, maybe lxqt has one that won't tie you to a desktop env?) but one might be constructable from https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.18.1/docs/src/XMonad.Hooks.ShowWName.html
2026-02-09 19:34:33 +0100 <geekosaur> hm, the git link might be a better reference https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/blob/master/XMonad/Hooks/ShowWName.hs

2026-02-09 21:00:22 +0100 <ghormoon> thinking about just puting the current state somehow into xmobar and calling it a day
2026-02-09 21:00:33 +0100 <ghormoon> but it would be nice if it flashed the change, yeha
2026-02-09 21:00:42 +0100 <ghormoon> i mean as a little window
2026-02-09 22:52:25 +0100 <haskellbridge> <i​qubic (she/her)> Do things like KDEConnect or GSConnect work with XMonad? I want to link my Android Phone to my Linux PC.
2026-02-09 22:56:41 +0100 <liskin> ghormoon: pasystray will show notifications whenever you change the volume (or mute, or connect headphones/hdmi/usb/whatever); you'll need a notification thing as well though (like dunst for example)
2026-02-09 22:57:23 +0100 <liskin> annoyingly, it'll also spam notifications when your video call software auto adjusts the mic volume, but that's relatively easy to hide in dunst
2026-02-09 23:02:59 +0100 <geekosaur> KDEConnect doesn't seem to work for me, and the description for GSConnect suggests it uses KDEConnect underneath (!) so probably also not
2026-02-09 23:03:35 +0100 <geekosaur> that said, I don't really know how to use it, so.
2026-02-09 23:07:19 +0100 <geekosaur> oh, heh, it requires a companion phone app. but the docs say it will work with any desktop as long as you at least have AppIndicator support (e.g. trayer)
2026-02-09 23:08:27 +0100 <haskellbridge> <i​qubic (she/her)> I knew about the companion phone app.
2026-02-09 23:08:43 +0100 <geekosaur> right, but I didnt which is why I couldn't get it to work here
2026-02-09 23:10:08 +0100 <haskellbridge> <i​qubic (she/her)> I just don't have any system tray. The main issue with my set-up currently is that my XMobar is spanning the entire width of my monitor. Is it possible to tell XMonad to leave some space for a SysTray?
2026-02-09 23:10:27 +0100 <haskellbridge> <i​qubic (she/her)> Also, won't installing KDEConnect also pull in a bunch of KDE libraries?
2026-02-09 23:13:00 +0100 <geekosaur> it will, yes
2026-02-09 23:14:47 +0100 <geekosaur> re xmobar, you want TopW / BottomW followed by an alignment (L, C, R) and a percent of the screen to use
2026-02-09 23:15:00 +0100 <geekosaur> for "position"
2026-02-09 23:20:26 +0100 <haskellbridge> <i​qubic (she/her)> O
2026-02-09 23:21:36 +0100 <haskellbridge> <i​qubic (she/her)> I'm using "spawnBar" in "XMonad.hs" and setting the positioning in my XMobarrc. "position = TopH 34"
2026-02-09 23:23:22 +0100 <haskellbridge> <i​qubic (she/her)> I think that says "Put bar at the top with 34 pixels of height.
2026-02-09 23:23:37 +0100 <haskellbridge> <i​qubic (she/her)> How would I keep that same height but shrink the width?
