Unfortunately, if you want to get this working now, you've only got 2 options: 1) editing the source code 2) create a new version of the widget module and import that instead of the current module. The problem is this line: https://github.com/qtile/qtile/blob/v0.16.1/libqtile/widget/gmail_checker.py#L39 The variable "fmt" clashes with a variable in the underlying _TextBox class. This makes the widget crash as it's loading (hence qtile doesn't start). If you change the variable name to something else (e.g. displayfmt) and also update lines 57 and 59 then it should work. I'll submit a pull request to get this fixed in the main repo. On Monday, 7 December 2020 at 17:17:07 UTC elParaguayo wrote: Just doing some testing but I think I've found the problem.

It only worked for me after creating an app password (got error messages about invalid credentials before that). I appreciate that this isn't the issue with the widget but it's still interesting (to me, at least!). On Mon, 7 Dec 2020, 09:22 elParaguayo, <[email protected]> wrote: Kai, Apologies! I hadn't seen that your email showed that the code worked. My phone just showed your first line "I'm not using it, so I leave that up to OP." and hid the rest. Now that we know it's not a security issue, we can do some more digging. On Monday, 7 December 2020 at 08:00:07 UTC elParaguayo wrote: I did say it was a guess! I haven't used Gmail via IMAP for a very long time and I have seen posts in other groups where security changes have caused issues. However, your experiences are clearly more recent than mine so I think OP can safely disregard my comment.

I don't understand how you arrived to that conclusion since your commands did work without the slef. part. I also use IMAP against Gmail with offlineimap, Neomutt and Thunderbird on a daily basis. -- Kai Stian Olstad -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qtile-dev" group.
