This page contains the base configuration options for Ashell.
It allows you to configure things like the log level, the monitor(s) used to render the status bar, and the bar’s position.
All these configurations are defined in the root of the toml file.
Log Level
The log level controls the verbosity of logs.
You can set it to a general level like debug, info, warn, or error,
or specify fine-grained control to enable logs from specific modules
in the codebase, e.g., ashell::services::network=debug.
See more about log levels.
This configuration requires restarting Ashell to take effect.
Log Examples
Set the global log level to debug for all modules:
log_level = "debug"
Set the log level for the ashell module only:
log_level = "ashell=debug"
Set the log level to warn for all modules, info for Ashell modules,
and debug only for the network service:
log_level = "warn,ashell=info,ashell::services::network=debug"
To understand all possible module names you can use, check
the source code.
The src folder is the root of the ashell module, and every directory
or file under it declares a module or submodule.
For example, the file src/modules/media_player.rs maps to the module ashell::modules::media_player.
Don’t confuse Ashell features (called “modules”) with Rust modules
(defined with mod.rs or in files).
In this configuration, we're referring to Rust modules.
Outputs
You can configure which monitor(s) should display the status bar.
It can render on all monitors, only on the active one (the focused monitor when Ashell starts), or on a list of specified monitors.
Output Examples
Render the status bar on all monitors:
outputs = "All"
Render the status bar on the active monitor:
outputs = "Active"
Render the status bar on a specific list of monitors:
outputs = { Targets = ["DP-1", "eDP-1"] }
Position
You can set the position of the status bar to either Top or Bottom.
Position Examples
Set the bar position to the top:
position = "Top"
Set the bar position to the bottom:
position = "Bottom"
