nwgcc

nwg Control Center is a highly customisable, GTK-based GUI, intended for use with window managers. It may serve as an extension to bars / panels, providing built-in and user-defined controls. Default theme may be overridden with custom css style sheets.

This software is aimed at power users.

Main window, Nordic-bluish-accent GTK theme, custom icons Light:

Dependencies:

• python (python3)
• python-gobject
• gtk3
• python-setuptools

Components:

For built-in components to work, you need dependencies as below. If you don't need one, you may skip installing related packages (e.g. on a desktop machine, you probably don't need the brightness slider).

• Brightness slider: light
• Volume slider: alsa, alsa-utils, python-pyalsa (the latter is not necessary, but recommended if available; otherwise the amixer command output will be parsed), playerctl - mpris media player controller buttons need the playerctl package
• Wi-fi status: wireless_tools
• Bluetooth status: bluez, bluez-utils

Sample user defined commands use blueman and NetworkManager.
