One of the common lacking pieces are the popups when changing brightness and audio volume.\n\n## The Solution\n\nSince I am dumb and don't know how to render popups, I decided to use [kitty](https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty)'s `kitten panel` feature to render a terminal window like a status bar. Which is stupid, but rather in a funny way, so probably usable.\n\n## Installation\n\nLike any other Rust project, Installation is pretty simple:\n\n```sh\ncargo install --git https://github.com/rdsq/kitty-popup-renderer\n```\n\n### Dependencies\n\nIn order to work in runtime, it needs:\n\n- [**kitty**](https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty) for the `kitten panel` command\n- [**brightnessctl**](https://github.com/Hummer12007/brightnessctl) for getting current brightness level\n- [**ALSA**](https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-lib) for getting current audio volume\n\n## Usage\n\nCall `kitten-popup-renderer brightness` to display the brightness popup, and `kitten-popup-renderer volume` to display the volume popup. You probably want to put those after your brightness/volume changing bindings in your config\n\n[Hyprland](https://hypr.land/) example:\n\n```hl\nbindel = ,XF86AudioRaiseVolume, exec, wpctl set-volume -l 1 @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 5%+ \u0026\u0026 ~/.cargo/bin/kitten-popup-renderer volume\nbindel = ,XF86AudioLowerVolume, exec, wpctl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 5%- \u0026\u0026 ~/.cargo/bin/kitten-popup-renderer volume\nbindel = ,XF86AudioMute, exec, wpctl set-mute @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ toggle \u0026\u0026 ~/.cargo/bin/kitten-popup-renderer volume\nbindel = ,XF86MonBrightnessUp, exec, brightnessctl -e4 -n2 set 5%+ \u0026\u0026 ~/.cargo/bin/kitten-popup-renderer brightness\nbindel = ,XF86MonBrightnessDown, exec, brightnessctl -e4 -n2 set 5%- \u0026\u0026 ~/.cargo/bin/kitten-popup-renderer brightness\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frdsq%2Fkitten-popup-renderer","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Frdsq%2Fkitten-popup-renderer","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frdsq%2Fkitten-popup-renderer/lists"}
