One of the things I was missing in my favourite windowmanager
awesome was a calendar widget. So I spent some minutes and coded it. Moving the mouse over the time widget will show a
naughty popup with the current month, use your mouse buttons (and the shift key) to scroll trough the months. The only annoying thing was to figure out how to change the text of an existing notification:
notification.box.widgets[2].text = "new test" is neither easy to figure out nor to use.
But here's the code for your
rc.lua - in case you want to have a license for it - the code is published as public domain or under the ISC license, what ever you prefer.
Update: With thanks to a hint from
madduck, the naughty popup is now aware of the screen your mouse is pointing to.
function displayMonth(month,year,weekStart)
local t,wkSt=os.time year=year, month=month+1, day=0 ,weekStart or 1
local d=os.date("*t",t)
local mthDays,stDay=d.day,(d.wday-d.day-wkSt+1)%7
local lines =
for x=0,6 do
lines[x+1] = os.date("%a ",os.time year=2006,month=1,day=x+wkSt )
end
lines[8] = " "
local writeLine = 1
while writeLine < (stDay + 1) do
lines[writeLine] = lines[writeLine] .. " "
writeLine = writeLine + 1
end
for x=1,mthDays do
if writeLine == 8 then
writeLine = 1
end
if writeLine == 1 or x == 1 then
lines[8] = lines[8] .. os.date(" %V",os.time year=year,month=month,day=x )
end
if (#(tostring(x)) == 1) then
x = " " .. x
end
lines[writeLine] = lines[writeLine] .. " " .. x
writeLine = writeLine + 1
end
local header = os.date("%B %Y\n",os.time year=year,month=month,day=1 )
header = string.rep(" ", math.floor((#(lines[1]) - #header) / 2 )) .. header
return header .. table.concat(lines, '\n')
end
local calendar =
function switchNaughtyMonth(switchMonths)
if (#calendar < 3) then return end
local swMonths = switchMonths or 1
calendar[1] = calendar[1] + swMonths
calendar[3].box.widgets[2].text = displayMonth(calendar[1], calendar[2], 2)
end
mytextbox.mouse_enter = function ()
local month, year = os.date('%m'), os.date('%Y')
calendar = month, year,
naughty.notify(
text = displayMonth(month, year, 2),
timeout = 0, hover_timeout = 0.5,
width = 200, screen = mouse.screen
)
end
mytextbox.mouse_leave = function () naughty.destroy(calendar[3]) end
