[docs]class Backlight(base.InLoopPollText): """A simple widget to show the current brightness of a monitor. If the change_command parameter is set to None, the widget will attempt to use the interface at /sys/class to change brightness. Depending on the setup, the user may need to be added to the video group to have permission to write to this interface. This depends on having the correct udev rules the brightness file; these are typically installed alongside brightness tools such as brightnessctl (which changes the group to 'video') so installing that is an easy way to get it working. You can also bind keyboard shortcuts to the backlight widget with: .. code-block: python from libqtile.widget import backlight Key([], "XF86MonBrightnessUp", lazy.widget['backlight'].change_backlight(backlight.ChangeDirection.UP)), Key([], "XF86MonBrightnessDown", lazy.widget['backlight'].change_backlight(backlight.ChangeDirection.DOWN)), """ filenames = {} # type: Dict orientations = base.ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL defaults = [ ('backlight_name', 'acpi_video0', 'ACPI name of a backlight device'), ( 'brightness_file', 'brightness', 'Name of file with the ' 'current brightness in /sys/class/backlight/backlight_name' ), ( 'max_brightness_file', 'max_brightness', 'Name of file with the ' 'maximum brightness in /sys/class/backlight/backlight_name' ), ('update_interval', .2, 'The delay in seconds between updates'), ('step', 10, 'Percent of backlight every scroll changed'), ('format', '{percent: 2.0%}', 'Display format'), ('change_command', 'xbacklight -set {0}', 'Execute command to change value') ] def __init__(self, **config): base.InLoopPollText.__init__(self, **config) self.add_defaults(Backlight.defaults) self.future = None self.brightness_file = os.path.join( BACKLIGHT_DIR, self.backlight_name, self.brightness_file, ) self.max_brightness_file = os.path.join( BACKLIGHT_DIR, self.backlight_name, self.max_brightness_file, ) self.max_value = self._load_file(self.max_brightness_file) self.step = self.max_value * self.step / 100 def _load_file(self, path): try: with open(path, 'r') as f: return float(f.read().strip()) except FileNotFoundError: logger.debug('Failed to get %s' % path) raise RuntimeError( 'Unable to read status for {}'.format(os.path.basename(path)) ) def _get_info(self): brightness = self._load_file(self.brightness_file) info = { 'brightness': brightness, 'max': self.max_value, } return info def poll(self): try: info = self._get_info() except RuntimeError as e: return 'Error: {}'.format(e) percent = info['brightness'] / info['max'] return self.format.format(percent=percent) def change_backlight(self, value): if self.change_command is None: try: with open(self.brightness_file, 'w') as f: f.write(str(round(value))) except PermissionError: logger.warning("Cannot set brightness: no write permission for {0}" .format(self.brightness_file)) else: self.call_process(shlex.split(self.change_command.format(value))) def cmd_change_backlight(self, direction): if self.future and not self.future.done(): return info = self._get_info() if not info: new = now = self.max_value else: new = now = info["brightness"] if direction is ChangeDirection.DOWN: # down new = max(now - self.step, 0) elif direction is ChangeDirection.UP: # up new = min(now + self.step, self.max_value) if new != now: self.future = self.qtile.run_in_executor(self.change_backlight, new) def button_press(self, x, y, button): if button == 5: self.cmd_change_backlight(ChangeDirection.DOWN) elif button == 4: self.cmd_change_backlight(ChangeDirection.UP)
