      1 volume.sh
      2 =========
      3 
      4 Shell script that outputs your current volume level to stdout for i3blocks
      5 and uses sxalert as a dumb OSD to display it.
      6 
      7 In /etc/i3blocks.conf:
      8 
      9 	[volume]
     10 	command=~/.scripts/volume	#path to script
     11 	label=V 			#label
     12 	interval=once
     13 	signal=10
     14 
     15 In ~/.config/sxh
     16 
     17 	 XF86Audio{Raise,Lower}Volume
     18 	         pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ {+10%, -10%} \
     19 	         && pkill -SIGRTMIN+10 i3blocks
     20 	
     21 	 alt + XF86Audio{Raise,Lower}Volume
     22 	         pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ {+1%, -1%} \
     23 	         && pkill -SIGRTMIN+10 i3blocks
     24 	
     25 	 XF86AudioMute
     26 	         pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ toggle \
     27 	         && pkill -SIGRTMIN+10 i3blocks
     28 
     29 
     30 This way, input from your volume keys sends a SIG 10 to i3blocks, and it
     31 redraws the audio on the status bar, along with displaying the alert.

     34 -----
     35 
     36 sxalert processes are killed and dedrawn. Thus, this is not the most smooth
     37 OSD, as the Xwindow flickers between redraws. It works fine, however.
