Here's a function to create a widget (currently a wibox) based on screen #1. The floutage.sh
script creates a blur image of a current screenshot of this screen.
When using this function, it's always the same blurred image showed: 1st blurred image processed, yet screen.png content changes.
function widget.createWidget(args)
local w = nil
local file = "/tmp/screen.png"
awful.spawn.easy_async_with_shell(
"sh /home/david/.config/awesome/widgets/floutage.sh " .. file,
function()
w = wibox({
x = 0,
y = 0,
width = 1200,
height = 1920,
border_width = 0,
screen = screen[1],
bgimage = file,
ontop = true,
visible = true
})
--
w:buttons(
gears.table.join(
awful.button({}, 1,
function()
w.visible = false
w = nil
end
)
)
)
--
end
)
--
return w
end
If I change file variable using a different name, the correct blurred image is shown:
local file = "/tmp/" .. os.date("%Y%m%d-%H%M%S") .. ".png"
How can I simply use "/tmp/screen.png"? (refresh image memory?)
bgimage = gears.surface.load_uncached(file),
