Configuration

Default values

• preferred_player: The player to use, if it's not available, it will use the first active player it finds. If it's set to "", it will dynamically choose the active player.

• default_album_art_url: The url of the default album art, it can be a local file (must start with file://) or a remote url (starts with http:// or https://).

• scrolling_label_speed: Speed of the scrolling for the song name in pixels per second.

• cava_visualizer_script: Path to the cava script, you can copy cava-config to ~/.config/dynisland/scripts and set this to cava -p ~/.config/dynisland/scripts/cava-config | awk '{print substr($0, 1, length($0)-1); fflush()}'

• use_fallback_player: If the preferred player is not available, use the next available player, if it's set to false, it will remove the widget if the preferred one is not available. (if the preferred player is "", this will be ignored)

Multiple widgets definitions

• windows: A map of window names to vector of configuration.
