Icons not showing correctly

[younggraham-t]

Hi,

I'm pretty new to Awesome, and I seem to be having trouble getting the icons to show properly with these widgets. I'm trying to use the battery, volume, cpu, and ram widgets, but all of them except the cpu don't show up the way I expect.

My awesome rc.lua:

`
local battery_widget = require("awesome-wm-widgets.battery-widget.battery")
local volume_widget = require("awesome-wm-widgets.pactl-widget.volume")
local cpu_widget = require("awesome-wm-widgets.cpu-widget.cpu-widget")
local ram_widget = require("awesome-wm-widgets.ram-widget.ram-widget")

...

s.mywibox:setup {
    layout = wibox.layout.align.horizontal,
    { -- Left widgets
        layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
        mylauncher,
        s.mytaglist,
        s.mypromptbox,
    },
    s.mytasklist, -- Middle widget
    { -- Right widgets
        layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
        -- mykeyboardlayout,
        wibox.widget.systray(),
		volume_widget({
			wdiget_type = "arc"
		}),
		ram_widget();
		cpu_widget({
			width = 70,
			step_width = 2,
			step_spacing = 0,
			color = '#434c5e'
		}),
        mytextclock,
		battery_widget({show_current_level=true, display_notification=true, margin_left=5, margin_right=5,}),
        s.mylayoutbox,
    },

`

What they look like:

As you can see the volume is not showing as arc, the ram is showing more than 75% used when its around 36%, and the battery doesn't show that it is plugged in.

I thought maybe I had installed the Arc icon theme incorrectly so I tried reinstalling that with no success. I also can't find anywhere where someone else has had the same problem, so that's why I'm here. Again, I'm new to awesome, so I'm kinda stumped on this one.

If you need any more information, I will gladly provide it.

Thanks!

Hey! For the volume widget you have a typo in wdiget_type. I'll think what could be wrong with others

Thanks, I knew it was something stupid like that.

Looking again at the ram widget it does seem to display the correct usage compared to the system monitor, but it seems that the popup doesn't which is why I thought it wasn't correct before. Do I need to do something to properly configure the popup?

For the battery, I tried the arc battery and there's still no indication when it's plugged in. I haven't gotten the battery low enough to check if the color changes, so I'm going to try that now.

The icons there are basically wrappers around shell commands:

• Battery: acpi
• Volume: amixer (with several options I cannot fill without knowing more about your system)
• CPU: grep '^cpu.' /proc/stat; ps -eo 'pid:10,pcpu:5,pmem:5,comm:30,cmd' --sort=-pcpu
• RAM: free | grep -z Mem.*Swap.*

So you could compare the values shown in a terminal with those in the widget.
