dimmer

Description

Without dimmer:

With dimmer:

This script is not an independent blocklet and meant to use as filter with any i3blocks blocklets.

dimmer useful if your bar have light background color and you want to use colored blocklets made for dark background.

dimmer parses a blocket output, gets strings with hex color codes and reduces it values to make colors darker.

To use dimmer you should add it through pipe, e.g. you may keep following in your i3blocks.conf:

[dimmer]
# Global properties
command=(/usr/lib/i3blocks/$BLOCK_NAME ; echo) | $SCRIPT_DIR/dimmer

echo is required for properly support of some scripts that does not produce new line symbol on the end of their output (like bandwidth blocklet).

By default dimmer will reduce color values to 50%. Also dimmer supports custom brightness values in percents as an argument, e.g.:

dimmer 72

This will reduce values to 72% of origin.
