en paper true paper awesome-widgets, pytextmonitor Migration Awesome Widgets (ex-PyTextMonitor) to version 2.0 migration-to-v2
![broken-computer](/resources/papers/broken-computer.jpg)
Some significant changes occur in the version 2.0 (really, I didn't do anything which can break your desktop!) and user API was rewritten. This paper should help to migrate from older PyTextMonitor versions (<1.11.0) to new one (>2.0).

New features

Firstly, a series of new features, including:

  • New widget - Desktop panel. It shows desktop list and select the active one. It can switch to the selected desktop by mouse clicking. Also it may set selected panels hidden.
  • New tags - hddfreemb, hddfreegb, memusedmb, memusedgb, memfreemb, memfreegb, swapfreemb, swapfreegb. And there are new tags related to new features - desktop, ndesktop, tdesktops.
  • New graphical tooltip - battery. It is twin colour (the colour depends on AC status).

Significant changes

Secondly, there are some changes because of which the old settings will not more work. They are:

  • The main widget was rewritten to С++, so the project was renamed to Awesome Widgets, and the main widget was done to Awesome Widget
  • Configuration of battery and AC files was moved to DataEngine.
  • The labels was removed. Now the widget is a single label. You may set up text in the special browser.
  • According to removal of the label, tooltip should be configured separately.
  • Align of text now can be configured only by using HTML tags.
  • According to fields combining several tags were renamed:
    • custom (time) -> ctime
    • custom (uptime) -> cuptime
    • time (player) -> duration
