Theme configuration for feedbackd
---------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The feedback provided to the user for an event is determined by the
currently active feedback theme.
Each theme consists of up to three profile sections named `full`,
`quiet` and `silent` containing event names and their associated
feedback. They can reference another theme via the `parent-name`
element to avoid repetition.
The events in the theme are named according to the
`Event Naming Specifiaction
<https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/agx/feedbackd/-/blob/main/doc/Event-naming-spec-0.0.0.md>`_
Feedback themes use a JSON format that can be validated with
``fbd-theme-validate(1)``.
For details on how to create or modify feedback themes see
``feedbackd's documentation`` at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/agx/feedbackd#feedback-theme
Feedback types
--------------
To build a theme you can use several different feedback types:
- `Sound`: Plays a sound from the installed sound theme
- `VibraRumble`: A single rumble using the haptic motor
- `VibraPeriodic`: A periodic rumble using the haptic motor
- `VibraPattern`: A pattern specifying the rumbling of the haptic motor
- `Led`: A LED blinking in a periodic pattern
Sound feedback
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sound feedbacks specify an event name from a XDG sound theme. Sound themes
are described in the ``Sound theme spec`` at https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/sound-theme-spec/
- `event-name`: The sound event name to use.
- `media-role`: The media role to set played audio stream. Defaults to `event`.
`Sound` feedback is usually used in the `full` profile section of the the theme only.
VibraRumble feedback
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The `VibraRumble` feedback uses a single property
- `count`: The number of rumbles.
- `pause`: The pause between each rumble in ms.
- `duration`: The duration of the rumble in ms.
- `mangitude`: The relative magnitude of the rumble (``[0, 1]``).
`VibraRumble` feedback is usually used in the `quiet` profile section of the the theme only.
VibraPattern feedback
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The `VibraPattern` feedback has these properties
- `magnitudes`: The relative magnitude of each rumble ``[0, 1]`` as array of doubles.
- `durations`: The durations of each rumble in ms as array of unsigned integers.
Both arrays must have the same length. `VibraPattern` feedback is
usually used in the `quiet` profile section of the the theme only.
Led feedback
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The `Led` feedback type uses two properties to specify the way a LED blinks.
- `color`: This specifies the color a LED should blink with. It supports the fixed color names `red`,
`green`, `blue` and `white` as well as values in the RGB HEX format (`#RRGGBB`) where
`RR`, `GG` and `BB` are two digit hex value between `00` and `FF` specifying the value of
each component. E.g. `#00FFFF` corresponds to cyan color.
- `frequency`: The LEDs blinkinig frequency in mHz.
`Led` feedback is usually used in the `silent` profile section of the the theme only.
