PulseWidgetExtra behaving weirdly

[Sprinter05]

Using qtile-git and qtile-extras-git (latest version) The PulseWidgetExtra widget does not work in neither 'icon' nor 'both' mode getting the following error:

2023-10-15 18:53:15,931 WARNING libqtile bar.py:__init__():L28 There is no longer a need to use qtile_extras.bar.Bar. Please update your config to use libqtile.bar.Bar.

libqtile.confreader.ConfigError: No theme_path provided.

Current config for the widget:

widget.PulseVolumeExtra(
                    mode='icon',
                    theme_path=None,
                    emoji=True,
                    emoji_list=['🔇', '🔈', '🔉', '🔊'],
                ),

Also when using the 'bar' mode there are a lot of graphical glitches like the bar becoming a clone of the SysTray widget or the bar simply freezing. The widget does still provide its functionality even during this state.

For the bit about icons, the log tells you the problem: "You must set the theme_path when using icons". That means it can't be None and needs to be a path to a folder containing the correct icons.

I note you've used emoji=True. That's missing from the qtile-extras version at the moment so I should add that.

As for "bar" mode, I can't replicate this. Can you share your full config so I can try running that?

[Sprinter05]

I did not set a theme_path because I was intending to use emotes not a theme so it shouldn't be needed. But if you have not added emojis yet I can see why. Respecting the config it might be due to it being inside a decoration which is why it is behaving weirdly.

I am also having this issue with the PulseWidgetExtra widget, but I am not quite sure how to implement icons for theme_path. Is there a specific number of icons required? A specific format? Specific file names? I have looked through the documentation for both the regular Qtile docs, and Qtile extras docs, but the only thing mentioned is that you need to provide a path for theme_path, but nothing about what should be in that path.

This isn't qtile-extras specific as the icons are supported in the default PulseVolume widget.

theme_path should be the path to a folder containing icons with the following names:

        names = (
            "audio-volume-high",
            "audio-volume-low",
            "audio-volume-medium",
            "audio-volume-muted",
        )
