The control center is accessed by clicking on the date-time clock in the bottom right corner. It is split into separate cards.

• Pulls the metadata using custom playerctl-cli bindings. Using lgi.Playerctl yielded incorrect results for me when multiple players were running at the same time.

• From top to bottom:

  • A sound meter / volume visualizer; currently broken, probably has something to do with pipewire

  • CPU usage

  • Battery power remaining

• Dark mode

  • Runs a function defined in the theme (or, in other words, in beautiful). This function replaces the reference to beautiful.color.current

• Focus mode

  • Disables non-critical notifications

  • Disables gaps

  • Disables bar and client shapes

• Find text

  • Uses normcap to scan the screen for text^
