title: Migration Awesome Widgets (ex-PyTextMonitor) to version 2.0
|
||
short: migration-to-v2
|
||
---
|
||
<figure class="img"></figure>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).

## <a href="#new" class="anchor" id="new"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>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).
|
||
|
||
## <a href="#changes" class="anchor" id="changes"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>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`
|
||
