Genmon Habitica Computer Time Rewards

---

This readme is a work in progress.

---

This is an ensemble of scripts, written in python with the purpose of helping myself to keep track and regulate my time at computer. It's written for XFCE4-panel, and work with genmon plugin and gnupg.

To make it works you need to follow these steps:

Requirements

I'm running on Garuda Raptor (Arch-based), using i3wm and xfce4-panel.

XFCE4-panel

genmon plugin

gnupg

python 3.11

python-screeninfo

python-pynput

python-gnupg

install

• Clone the repo to your ~/scripts directory, to have the ~/scripts/habitica path

• Create a text file to replace the one named credenzialihabitica; content of file have to be these lines:

  your habitica api user id
  your habitica api key

  you can find Habitica api keys here

• Encrypt credenzialihabitica using gpg

• Add two genmon to your xfce4-panel with no label, and put these command to execute:

  Genmon 1 (left): python ~/scripts/habitica/timer.py

  Genmon 2 (right): python ~/scripts/habitica/goldmon.py

customizations

I wrote these scripts with my system in mind, so i'm thinking about some config-file to make customization easier, but until now, you can edit "goldmon_click.py" file:

• Edit the list of purchasable items:

  Edit goldmon_click.py, look at the voices list, and add/delete/edit existing ones with this syntax:

  setmenuvoice("Name of the reward", minutes, price)

  Here's an example:

   voices = [
   	setmenuvoice("Fooling around", 60, 5),
   	setmenuvoice("Not-so-fooling around", 60, 0.5),
   	setmenuvoice("Gaming", 60, 4),
   	setmenuvoice("TV serial or short film", 60, 4),
   	setmenuvoice("One entire film", 240, 5)
   ]

• Edit title of purchasable items popup:

  Look at the set_titolo function and edit the first argument like this:

  set_titolo("yourtitle", popup_menu)

• Edit the abort voice of the popup menu:

  Look for btn_z definition, and edit the create_button third argument:

  { "nome": "abort_text" }

  Here's an example:

   btn_z = create_button(
                     popup_menu
                   , root
                   , { "nome": "nevermind" } #here's the text
                   , "12"            # font size
                   , "#4E8392"       # fg color
                   , "#141414"       # bg color
                   , "#5B9631"       # active fg color
                   , "#141414"       # inactive fg color
                   )

  Same text formatting arguments apply to all menu voices in the btn_x call, in the same file. Other future format customizations will be in environment.py

Testing

I'm not so skilled in test-making, i tried my best. If you want to test in your system, you have to replace the gpg public key in the gen_test.py:

def get_public_key():
    return 'A0FCB5A27C1ED66B5BC6D030862A9198690C1B67' # replace with your gpg public key
