OK. Got it working.
Put this in your config file:
from libqtile import qtile
@hook.subscribe.startup_complete
def create_win_count_hooks():
hook.subscribe.client_killed(wincount_kill)
hook.subscribe.client_managed(wincount)
hook.subscribe.current_screen_change(wincount)
hook.subscribe.setgroup(wincount)
wincount()
def wincount(*args):
try:
win_count = len(qtile.current_group.windows)
except AttributeError:
win_count = 0
qtile.widgets_map["window_count"].update(win_count)
def wincount_kill(window):
try:
win_count = len(qtile.current_group.windows)
except AttributeError:
win_count = 0
if win_count and getattr(window, "group", None):
win_count -= 1
qtile.widgets_map["window_count"].update(win_count)
Then create a TextBox widget in your bar:
widget.TextBox(name="window_count", text="")
