<p>A functions inside will be interpret as JavaScript ones, any variables from main body is supported, thus the following function:</p>

{% highlight javascript %}
{% raw %}${{{% endraw %}
function colorCpu()
{
    if ($cpu > 90.0)
        return "<span style=\"color:#ff0000;\">$cpu</span>"
    else
        return "$cpu"
}
colorCpu()
{% raw %}}}{% endraw %}
{% endhighlight %}

<p>will show <code>$cpu</code> value in red if it is more than 90.0, otherwise it will be shown in default colour. Any calculations are also supported:</p>

{% highlight javascript %}
{% raw %}${{{% endraw %}
$down - $up
{% raw %}}}{% endraw %}
{% endhighlight %}

<p>will show difference between download and upload speed. Another feature provided by lambda functions is <code>$this</code> value which returns the last value of the lambda function. Here is a little more complicated example which will show running line "Artist - Title" with length less or equal than 20 symbols:</p>

{% highlight javascript %}
{% raw %}${{{% endraw %}
function runningLine() {
    var current = "$artist - $title";
    var index = current.indexOf("$this");
    if (("$this" == "") || ((index + 20 + 1) > current.length))
        return current.substring(0, 20);
    else
        return current.substring(index + 1, index + 20 + 1);
}
runningLine()
{% raw %}}}{% endraw %}
{% endhighlight %}

<p>Thus this feature may be used for example to show any custom values which will be calculated in runtime and to show different information depending on some conditions. But please keep in mind that such runtime calculation may increase CPU load.</p>
