Package documentation¶
widget.lua checks the official EasyBar widget registry and publishes available package updates to EasyBar's native inbox.
Use Update on an inbox item to install that package's latest registry release. The source menu provides Update all and a manual Refresh action; checks otherwise run every six hours and after wake or session activation. These actions use easybar widgets update, so the same update behavior is available from the terminal.
Configuration¶
The automatic check interval defaults to six hours and can be set from 5 minutes to 7 days:
[widgets.inbox-widgets]
refresh_interval_minutes = 360
Reload EasyBar after changing it:
easybar config reload
The source context menu shows the active refresh interval.
Only packages whose recorded installation source matches a release in the official registry are checked. Packages installed from a local directory, custom archive, or another registry are left untouched.
If you installed the former inbox-widget-updates 0.1.0 package, remove it before installing this renamed package:
easybar widgets uninstall inbox-widget-updates
Requirements¶
The widget requires EasyBar 0.44.0 or newer, plus curl and the easybar CLI in [app.env].PATH.
