Hey DT, or if anyone else can help, I'm trying to get a shutdown menu working as an icon on the bar or even a keybinding similar to what ArcoLinux has (either fullscreen like theirs or a popup would be fine), with options for logout, restart, shutdown, etc. I was thinking a mouse_callbacks function would work like you showed in another video, but wasn't able to get that working. If anyone is using something like I'm talking about, can you share that part of your config?

Hey, Derek. I've been waiting for this video since the beginning of the series. It would be great if you expanded a little bit on the other widgets you use. I'd be glad if you considered the following suggestions for future videos:
1. Wi-Fi widget/module;
2. Keyboard layouts - adding additional keyboard layouts;
3. Multiple monitors setup;
4. How/where you find the specific unicode characters you put in the config.
Thanks :).

How can I configure shortcuts to adjust the brightness and volume in qtile.?.
On my keyboard the key combinations are:
Volume-up: Fn + Up-key
Lower-Volume: Fn + Down-Key
Up-Brightness: Fn + Right-Key
Lower-Brightness: Fn + Left-Key.
I know they are added in the QTile configuration but I do not know what the codes of my Keys are.
If you helped me in that little one, you would be very grateful.

The only thing preventing me from using qtile again, is my hidpi display. Qtile displays everything unusably tiny. Searches for help, including in IRC, have produced no solutions. Using SDDM as my display manager only helps a little. Arch wiki has a solution that doesn't work. X11 doesn't support setting the DPI. :-(

Hey DT! Are you using spotify-desktop client on your arch? I have some problem with that app. It takes me almost whole CPU. I found some suggestion on web and it seems to the app have problem with tiles managers. I wonder if you have same issue or some of your watchers. Great video. Thanks :-)

Thanks Derek, you are awesome. Any chance on getting a video on how to properly test our configs? I tried to follow the instructions on the documentation, but couldn't get it to work. Either way I really appreciate you doing this. I love my computer again thanks to you and Qtile!

why would you use functions everywhere when there's no need for them I really don't get it. for example you wrote a function init_colors that returns a nested list of colors and then you create a variable 'colors' holding that returned value why not just write a list named 'colors'

Hey DT. I really love how qtile works. But I have some things I can't figure out.
1) how to use the LaunchBar widget.
2) how to set multiple screens? What about a projector? How to switch between -Extended- and -Duplicate-?
Hope you can make a video about this. :-)

Hey Derek is there a way to set a specific size for floating windows in qtile? Say I want Thunar to open at a set window size, in i3 it would be something like for_window [class=-Thunar-] floating enable resize set 1060 650 ....could you show how to do the same in qtile?

I was looking at your dotfiles repo and I saw you updated your qtile and xmonad configs with a keyboard shortcut to your scrot dmenu script but you haven-t actually pushed the script to the repo. Did you do that on purpose or was it just that you forgot to?
