MX Fluxbox Screenshots

Interesting. Can you provide a link to that 'BatteryNotification' script?

[ceeslans]

If you mean CharlesV' original 'BatteryNotification' script, see viewtopic.php?p=812272#p812272

Or if you mean the modified script (using slighlty different name batt-notifications ), see below:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env bash

#---------------------------------------------------------------------#
# Based on @CharlesV excellent BatteryNotification script.
# ( https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=812272#p812272 )
#  
# Modified by @ceeslans dec'24 for use in an all-fluxbox environment. 
# This script only notifies 'critical' battery levels while battery is 
# discharging (warnings are omitted when battery-status is 'charging').
# It calls icons/sounds that are installed by default in MX Linux.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------#

# Currently set to notify user when battery reaches depletion levels.
# Preferred thresholds can be set/edit in below three lines:
	BatteryLow1=21
	BatteryLow2=16
	BatteryLow3=11

# This just lets us know the monitoring has started. 
	echo Monitoring battery level ...

# Set alternative working-directory
	IcoDir="/usr/share/icons/Papirus/48x48/status"

# Set low-battery warning soundfile
	SndFile="/usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/suspend-error.oga"

#------ you shouldnt have to change anything past this line ----------#

	while true
	do

    export DISPLAY=:0.0
    
    battery_percent=$(acpi -b | grep -P -o -m1 '[0-9]+(?=%)')
    battery_status=$(cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status)
    
    message1="Please connect to a power source "
    message2="Urgently connect to a power source "
    message3="Battery will soon be DEPLETED..."
    
	if [ "$battery_status" = "Discharging" ]; then
    
        if [ "$battery_percent" -lt "$BatteryLow3" ]; then
            notify-send -u critical -t 25000 "Battery ${battery_status} - Level: ${battery_percent}%" "$message3" -i "$IcoDir/battery-empty.svg"
            paplay ${SndFile}
        elif [ "$battery_percent" -lt "$BatteryLow2" ]; then
			notify-send -u critical -t 20000 "Battery ${battery_status} - Level: ${battery_percent}%" "$message2" -i "$IcoDir/battery-low.svg"
        else
			if [ "$battery_percent" -lt "$BatteryLow1" ]; then
				notify-send -u normal -t 15000 "Battery ${battery_status} - Level: ${battery_percent}%" "$message1" -i "$IcoDir/battery-low.svg"
			fi
       	fi
	fi
	
# Sleep is in seconds, so 60 seconds x 5 minutes = 300 seconds to sleep
		# sleep 300
	sleep 30
	
done

Since using fluxbox' native toolbar as default panel (instead of tint2), I needed to find an option to substitute tint2's internal low-battery warning setting.
I tried 'cbatticon' systemtray application, and a well-tested 'batsignal' script - but those still consumed more memory than I liked.
At the moment I'm using a modified version of @CharlesV's excellent 'BatteryNotification' script. I've adapted this script in such a way that it will only send low-battery-level notifications at critical levels - and only when battery is discharging. Running this script at startup, which consumes only 250 kb....

While working on it, I find fluxbox' basic tiling possibilities (using keybinds to resize+move windows to the screen corners/sides) extremely useful...

Very nice! and glad you found the script useful :-)

Hello JayM
squeeze infinity
off-road workspaceNames mx-fluxbox
It is sad that the font name infini does not show this infinity symbol.
Style Twice changed two lucidasans to sans making the infinity show.
menu.hilite and toolbar.workspace (?)
(infinity symbol shows in many fonts.)
Right-click workspaceName in workspacemenu navigates us to that Workspace.

joke: the command for {workspace [[current]]} is {hidemenus}

Reading @Jerry3904 comment in the oh so active MX25 Wallpaper Submission thread

If ever antiX would have an 'infinity' release...... :)

[Jerry3904]

Nice!

Infinty themed wallpaper with matching conky and a sneak preview of the successor to mx-comfort with more styles

[Jerry3904]

That looks nice!

Been using the same setup for moths now but came across this cool infinity wallpaper on Pexels. https://www.pexels.com/photo/abstract-3 ... -28870737/

Having fun with cmatrix' fullscreen cli bling.
Doesn't last long though, quickly hitting the "Q" key to stop the matrix downpour ...

Code: Select all
