How To Make Widgets In Qtile Clickable Events DistroTube I recently discovered that you can make any widget in the Qtile panel a clickable event using mouse callbacks. This opens up a world of possibilities! So I go through the process of adding some of these mouse callbacks to my config. - http://www.qtile.org/

Hi! I recently install qtile in my laptop and it's -awesome- xddd, but I have a couple issues I can't figure it out. The first one is about dual graphics amd/nvidia with the hdmi output wired to the nvidia card, I have the drivers installed, the configs seems right, but I still can't use the hdmi output. And the second is about the webcam config, I'm not able to change the resolution. Any tips would've been apreciated!!!!

I am currently struggling to make callbacks work. The documentation is not very clear about this or I don't find the needed information. So thank you for doing these videos, you help me a lot.
Oh I see my mistake. I should have known this from when I was working with Qt5. I need to specify the name of the function without arguments. Edit: But strange, it does not work, but it should. Not sure whats wrong here.

Derek! I want to thank you for converting me from Bspwm to Qtile : It's the best window manager I ever tried. Don't start bashing me! Bspwm is a solid window manager, but I 'm more into dynamic window managers! Xmonad it good, too but It has a big learning curve, because I don't know Haskell and I don't have the time to learn it for now!

Hey -DistoTube, I'd like to try out Qtile, but there is one question that I wasn't able to answer from the docs:
Does it support changing the number of screens? I'm looking to use it for my laptop, with the option to attach a second and third screen when at home. Is there a way to update the number of screens and bars shown?

does qtile has the grid select like xmonad?
since i've discovered Xmonad (thank you very much DT, you've improved my workflow by 99%) i couldn't detach myself from it, but qtile intrests me since it's written in python. Does it have a gridselect? and what advantages it has over xmonad? except that it's written in python obv

Noob question but how the heck do you get into your config files so fast? Had you already typed the vim command into terminal before recording so you just launched a terminal and hit up enter to run the last command or do you have your configs hot keyed? You always seem to do like two keystrokes and they-re up lol

HI Dt,
I used the same steps :
mouse_callbacks = -'Button1': lambda qtile : qtile.cmd_spawn(myTerm + ' -e htop')-
mouse_callbacks = -'Button1': open_htop-,
I got error: TypeError: missing 1 required positional argument: 'qtile'
qtile --version :0.17.1.dev71+g1d02685e
python: 3.9

I still prefer I3 until now. I've tried Qtile, but find some weird behaviours in it, especially when I assign and open apps to certain groups (workspaces), it does not open automatically and jumps to other empty wrokspaces...I've tried several things...but no use till now....it still happens.

Tried installing qtile on my Ubuntu mate install but just end up with a black screen even after trying something like your Config. Guess it's time to play with arcolinuxd with qtile in a VM to see if I can get something setup that I like.
