[Notion-general] Colour coding tabs for applications

[Niels D. <ges...@gm...>]

Hi,

I've been playing around a bit and trying to set up my notion configuration
such that my most used applications (browser, filemanager, etc...) each
have differently coloured tab/titlebar. This would help me to keep track of
what I'm doing.

I supposed that I should add a custom substyle to my look_*.lua, then
identify each new client window when it is created, and use
WFrame.set_grattr to set the appropriate substyle based on that
identification.

However, I'm not sure if I'm on the right track. I can't directly set the
graphical attribute on the client window, but if I do something like this:

ioncore.get_hook("clientwin_mapped_hook"):add(
    function(cwin)
        local f = WFrame.parent(cwin)
        f:set_grattr("differentcolour", "set")
    end
)

... then all the tabs of the frame get that colour scheme!

How would you target a single title bar? Have I overlooked something, or is
this non-trivial?

Thanks!

- Niels

Hi Niels,


This works for me (I'm using it to indicate current keyboard layout):


function set_tab_color(color)
    de.defstyle("tab", {
        de.substyle("active-selected", {
            background_colour=color,
        })
    })
    gr:refresh()
end


WBR,

No, I just put it in xkb_ion.lua (I'm still on ion) and that's it. I'm
not familiar wit Notion policies in regards to where
such utility stuff  should be, and I'm not sure if this is a good way to
do it. So if someone knows all these things and
decides that this piece should be in repo - you are welcome.

WBR,

Re: [Notion-general] Colour coding tabs for applications

[Niels D. <ges...@gm...>]

Hi Alex,

Thanks! Wouldn't that change the background color for all tabs at once,
though? And if not - how would I indicate which application should get
which colour?

To be clear, what I'm trying to do is assign a colour to tabs that
correspond to specific instances of client windows, or types of
applications (say, 'firefox' gets a red background, 'thunar' gets blue,
etc).

And yeah, I'll push it once it works :)

Kind regards,
Niels
