# Shelly Shelly is a plugin that uses the [Shelly Arch Package Manager](https://github.com/Seafoam-Labs/Shelly-ALPM) to display package update information in a bar widget. ## Plugin | Field | Value | | ------- | ---------------------------------------------- | | ID | `joshuaslate/shelly` | | Entries | Service: `update_poller`; bar widget: `shelly` | ## Requirements Install the Shelly Arch Package Manager (>= v3.0.0) from the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/shelly). The `shelly` command must be available on `PATH`. Verify the correct version is installed by running `shelly --version` in a terminal. It should return a version number >= 3.0.0. Test that it works by running `shelly list updates all` in a terminal. If it returns a list of packages, then it is working correctly. ## Usage Add the `shelly` widget from Noctalia's widget picker. It periodically checks for available Arch package updates and shows their count and names in the bar tooltip. Click behavior is configurable: open Shelly's graphical interface, run `shelly upgrade all` in a terminal, or do nothing. The `update_poller` service owns the periodic checks and can notify you when new updates become available. ## Settings | Setting | Type | Default | Description | | ---------------------- | -------- | ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `interval` | `int` | `300` | The interval (in seconds) between update checks | | `notify` | `bool` | `false` | Whether or not you want to receive notifications when there are new package updates available | | `color` | `color` | `on_surface` | The text color for the bar widget | | `bar_label` | `select` | `count_and_label` | The label to display in the bar widget when there are updates.
