Here I would like to present you some feature without you having to find out the hard way.

I will go over every widget, module and other stuff that you can do.

Widgets


Audio

The audio widget can be clicked to reveal an audio device selector. There you can also change the volume for your microphone or headphones

Battery

The battery widget can be clicked to open the xfce4-power-manager-settings. You can replace it to open whatever you'd like

Bluetooth

The Bluetooth widget can be clicked to activate/deactivate bluetooth. Later you will get a different menu like in the audio widget.

Clock

Nothing

CPU Temp/Usage/Clock

Nothing for now, maybe I can add some options for Intel CPU's

Date

Nothing

Gpu Temp/Usage

For now nothing, might implement switching onboard GPU modes for laptops.

Keyboard layout

Clicking opens a menu with every layout you specified in the user_variables. You can also do MOD+SPACE

Layout list

Left click cycles trough the widget and right click reverse cycles it.

Network

The Network widget will open the gnome-control-center network options As with the audio widget there will be a menu for selecting modes and wifi stations etc.

Power

Clicking it opens the session options. If you want to close it do a right click or hit esc.

ram_info

Nothing

Systray

You can click the applications to open/focus them or right click to get their context menu

Taglist

Left click changes a tag, left clicking a tag on another screen with a focused client moves it over. Scrolling on the desktop changes the tag

Tasklist

Left click focuses a window, right click kills it


Modules


Brightness OSD

Automatically opens when the backlight keys are used, has no other function

Powermenu

This is what the Power widget opens. If you want to close it do a right click or hit esc.

Titlebar

You can drag the titlebar as normal and right clicking it allows you to resize the window.

Volume Controller

This is what the volume widget opens.

Volume OSD

Just like the Brightness OSD, automatically opens.


That should be it, if I forgot something, please open a new Issue and let me know. Thanks!
