  • In this video, I'm going to try out some of the widget decorations that are available through the 'qtile-extras' package. 'qtile-extras' is a collection of extra libraries that allow you to mod your qtile bar (panel). I'm mainly installing it so I can some "BorderDecorations" to my panel widgets.

    Hey DT,
    I'm the developer of qtile-extras (and one of the developers for qtile).
    Thanks for taking the time to look at qtile-extras and make a video about it. The support is much appreciated.
    Sorry you had a few issues with some of the widgets. While some are marked as "experimental", I do expect them all to work but I also expect users to configure them in ways that I've not completely tested so things may break. If people submit bug reports then I typically try to fix things pretty quickly too. It would be great if you could let me know what problems you ran into as I'll try to fix them when I can (some may have been fixed already).
    You are right, I suspect most people are just installing the package for the decorations. The powerline and rect decorations are particularly popular among ricers so I was pleased to see some love for the border decorations too.
    Lastly, qtile-extras isn't installable via pip at the moment but I probably should look into doing that. However qtile-extras and qtile-extras-git are both in the AUR.
    Thanks again for the video.

      They both can do basically same things. If you like Python choose qtile or maybe Awesome if you feel more familar with LUA. I recommend testing them both.

    I'm baffled by whatever tangling is. I just realized you're writing in an org file and it's grepping and generating a config for you, this seems like something I need to run off and learn about

    I love qtile but for school, with a 2in1 Touchscreen, it's a lot of hassle to constantly maintain a WM. I ultimately switched back to gnome, but I miss qtile. I'd love to go back one day.
    It's just too many different parts trying to fit together. I know it's a Unix philosophy but Idk, as a main computer I need stability over customisability. At least for now

    Hey DT, i love and use Qtile and love your Videos, one question though: are Keychords working correctly for you, using a keychord breaks the workspaces keybindings (super +1...9) and a qtile restart fixes it put it's a PITA.
    can you check whether you have that problem or not ?

    Python is NOT picky about trailing commas (10:04), you may include them or omit them. There is one exception: trailing comma is necessary to recognize a 1-element (tuple,) - but that's not the case here. Of course, trailing commas in multi-line situation are great to avoid errors and reduce diffs when later adding/re-ordering lines. I guess you're using some linter that enforces that.

    Hi derek,
    What i see is that a lot of these tiling windows managers have in their config looks a lot like css,
    And the window movement and mouse config stuff looks a lot like javascript.
    And then there is some stuff that looks like html5 in its standard.
    So it is a lot like webdevelopment in a 1,2,3 part
    Webdesign.
    Front-End development.
    Back end development.
