monitor_manager: how does this work?
Expected behavior
- A blocklet in the bar which somehow react to a click;
- Since the above is not there, I expected at least that something happened when running the script for command line
Actual behavior
- Nothing is shown in the bar
- When exectuting
./monitor_manager
in the terminal I just get the fancy icon of a monitor (which I guess is the one which should show in the bar), but GUI opens likemonitor_manager.png
.
i3blocks config relevant to blocklet(s)
I'm using the default one from the README.md
:
[monitors]
command=$SCRIPT_DIR/monitor_manager
interval=once
#SHOW_ON_OFF=1
#SHOW_NAMES=1
#SHOW_PRIMARY=1
#SHOW_MODE=1
#SHOW_BLANKED=1
#SHOW_DUPLICATE=1
#SHOW_ROTATION=1
#SHOW_REFLECTION=1
#SHOW_BRIGHTNESS=1
#SHOW_BRIGHTNESS_VALUE=0
#SHOW_UP_DOWN=1
#FONT_FAMILY=DejaVu Sans Mono
#FONT_SIZE=11
#CLOSE_TO_BOUNDARY_BUFFER=20
Output of blocklet(s) when run from command line
The monitor icon: . When I press ga on it in Vim to see what is the character, I obtain
<> 61704, Hex f108, Octal 170410
