Polybar modules (Zoom and service)

Posted on

Some time ago I wrote several i3 blocklets, in particular Zoom Dunst notification and a service blocklet (to be able easily to enable/disable services). And since I moved from i3blocks to polybar, I had slightly to adjust the scripts.

Zoom Dunst module

I already wrote a short post about the Zoom dunst module. Here is just a slightly adjusted version for polybar.

To integrate the module, just add the snippet to your polybar modules and adjust the path to the zoom.sh script.

[module/zoom]
type = custom/script
exec = ~/polybar-scripts/zoom.sh
interval = 5
label = %output% Zoom

zoom.sh script

The zoom.sh file looks like that

DUNST_TIMEOUT=${DUNST_TIMEOUT:-3}        # duration in seconds
DUNST_URGENCY=${DUNST_URGENCY:-"low"}    # low, normal or critical

enable () {
    touch /tmp/i3zoom.lock
    notify-send -u ${DUNST_URGENCY} -t ${DUNST_TIMEOUT}000 Zoom "Sharing mode activated"
    sleep ${DUNST_TIMEOUT}
    notify-send DUNST_COMMAND_PAUSE
}

disable () {
    rm /tmp/i3zoom.lock
    notify-send DUNST_COMMAND_RESUME
}

xwininfo -name as_toolbar >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    if ! [ -f "/tmp/i3zoom.lock" ]; then
        enable
        echo "%{F#ff0000}"
    else
        echo "%{F#ff0000}"
    fi

else
    if [ -f "/tmp/i3zoom.lock" ]; then
        disable
    fi
    echo "%{F#ff0000}"
fi

Service module

The service module is an easy integration of your Linux service, which you can enable/disable/toggle. E.g. I use it often to enable/disable the OpenVPN service or other frequently toggled services.

It can be turned on/off just by clicking on the name of the service.

To integrate the module, just add the snippet to your polybar modules and adjust the path to the service.sh script.
