grossestein commented 7 years ago

I really wanna know which WiFi I connacted when I neednt click anywhere.could you help me?

arcan1s commented 7 years ago

currently there is no out-of-box solution which allows you to show it on widget.

But you can use custom scripts engine - general solution is to use iwgetid -r command to show essid. Other solutions depend on which software do you use to connect to wifi (e.g. like nmcli -t -f active,ssid dev wifi or something based on netctl parses or even direct wpa_cli requests (would not recommend though)).

P.S. I will plan some wifi related features to the next release

Thanks.With the help of this widget I can make my desktop more powerful and beautiful.And I think it's not too bad to add some other functions,such as the key state,touchpad state , system volume and the brightness of the screen. Sorry for my poor English.
