Theme configuration for feedbackd

DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The feedback provided to the user for an event is determined by the
|
|
currently active feedback theme.
|
|
|
|
Each theme consists of up to three profile sections named `full`,
|
|
`quiet` and `silent` containing event names and their associated
|
|
feedback. They can reference another theme via the `parent-name`
|
|
element to avoid repetition. If an event received by the daemon is not
|
|
present in the currently active theme or its parent theme it will be
|
|
ignored.
|
|
|
|
Each event maps to at most one feedback in each profile. The events
|
|
in the theme are named according to the
|
|
`Event Naming Specifiaction
|
|
<https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/feedbackd/feedbackd/-/blob/main/doc/Event-naming-spec-0.0.0.md>`_.
|
|
|
|
There are two types of themes: *custom* themes and *device* themes.
|
|
They both use the same format but have different purpose. Custom
|
|
themes are meant to tweak feedbackd's output to the user's needs while
|
|
device themes are meant to cater for hardware differences. Feedback
|
|
themes use a JSON format that can be validated with
|
|
``fbd-theme-validate(1)``.
|
|
|
|
For details on how to create or modify feedback themes see
|
|
``feedbackd's documentation`` at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/feedbackd/feedbackd#feedback-theme.

|
Feedback types
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
To build a theme you can use several different feedback types:
|
|
|
|
- `Sound`: Plays a sound from the installed sound theme
|
|
- `VibraRumble`: A single rumble using the haptic motor
|
|
- `VibraPeriodic`: A periodic rumble using the haptic motor
|
|
- `VibraPattern`: A pattern specifying the rumbling of the haptic motor
|
|
- `Led`: A LED blinking in a periodic pattern
|
|
|
|
Sound feedback
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Sound feedbacks specify an event name from a XDG sound theme. Sound themes
|
|
are described in the ``Sound theme spec`` at https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/sound-theme-spec/
|
|
|
|
- `event-name`: The sound event name to use.
|
|
- `media-role`: The media role to set played audio stream. Defaults to `event`.
|
|
|
|
`Sound` feedback is usually used in the `full` profile section of the theme only.
|
|
|
|
VibraRumble feedback
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The `VibraRumble` feedback uses a single property
|
|
|
|
- `count`: The number of rumbles.
|
|
- `pause`: The pause between each rumble in ms.
|
|
- `duration`: The duration of the rumble in ms.
|
|
- `mangitude`: The relative magnitude of the rumble (``[0, 1]``).
|
|
|
|
`VibraRumble` feedback is usually used in the `quiet` profile section of the theme only.
|
|
|
|
VibraPattern feedback
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The `VibraPattern` feedback has these properties
|
|
|
|
- `magnitudes`: The relative magnitude of each rumble ``[0, 1]`` as array of doubles.
|
|
- `durations`: The durations of each rumble in ms as array of unsigned integers.
|
|
|
|
Both arrays must have the same length. `VibraPattern` feedback is
|
|
usually used in the `quiet` profile section of the the theme only.
|
|
|
|
Led feedback
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The `Led` feedback type uses two properties to specify the way a LED blinks.
|
|
|
|
- `color`: This specifies the color a LED should blink with. It supports the fixed color names `red`,
|
|
`green`, `blue` and `white` as well as values in the RGB HEX format (`#RRGGBB`) where
|
|
`RR`, `GG` and `BB` are two digit hex value between `00` and `FF` specifying the value of
|
|
each component. E.g. `#00FFFF` corresponds to cyan color.
|
|
- `frequency`: The LEDs blinkinig frequency in mHz.
|
|
|
|
`Led` feedback is usually used in the `silent` profile section of the theme only.
