[Feature request] Spacing between content and screen (like screenshot) #22

Closed rYR79435 closed 3 years ago

rYR79435 commented 3 years ago

The first screenshot in the README looks like there would be space between the date and the top screen border. In reality there is none. Is this a bug or a feature request?

The padding on the screen is applied by my terminal emulator, just for the purpose of this screenshot. As of now, there is no padding option for the whole screen, only the middle box.

Could you point me towards how I can run tuigreet from my terminal? Simply running it (after cargo build) yields Permission denied (os error 13). Running it as root then says GREETD_SOCK must be defined. Now the only thing I could think of putting in that env var was the path to my current terminal like so: sudo env GREETD_SOCK=$(tty) ./target/debug/tuigreet, but that just gives Connection refused (os error 111).

In case it matters, I'm trying this in Alacritty and using the installed tuigreet vs. the freshly built one didn't matter.

tuigreet is not really supposed to be run in a terminal emulator, except for development purposes (so you don't have to log out to test your changes).

GREETD_SOCK should point to the UNIX socket created by a greetd-compatible program, like greetd or fakegreet (a program provided by greetd to simulate greetd's IPC) during development, for instance to /run/greetd.sock.

As for your specific request to add global padding to the terminal area, I will try and implement it.

apognu commented 3 years ago

I added the --window-padding to master. I will test it out for a while on there before it can be published in a stable release.

Please add comment and reopen if you feel something is wrong.

Thank you so much. I gave it a quick test as well and everything seems to work as expected. Fantastic.
