states property
Overview
Some modules support 'states' which allows percentage values to be used as styling triggers to apply a class when the value matches the declared state value.
States
Every entry (state) consists of a <name> (typeof: string) and a <value> (typeof: integer).
- The state can be addressed as a CSS class in the style.css. The name of the CSS class is the <name> of the state. Each class gets activated when the current value is equal to or less than the configured <value> for the battery module, or equal to or greater than the configured <value> for all other modules.
- Also, each state can have its own format. Those can be configured via format-<name>, or if you want to differentiate a bit more, as format-<status>-<state>.
Example
"battery": {
"bat": "BAT2",
"interval": 60,
"states": {
"warning": 30,
"critical": 15
},
"format": "{capacity}% {icon}",
"format-icons": ["", "", "", "", ""],
"max-length": 25
}Styling States
- #battery.<state> - <state> can be defined in the config.
Example
- #battery.warning: { background: orange; }
- #battery.critical: { background: red; }
