Updates

The update applet check if there are some update for your distribution and show the total count of it and the last 10 package to update. It creates a fifo file into ~/.local/share/be.shell/fifo/ directory.

Setting up the twolamerc section

First of all open the twolamerc file and check if the update thread is active (start_update = 1) under the twolame section; then move to the update section. Here you can choose the update_period after that the update thread will check again for updates.

Modify the format file

Copy or create a update.format file into your BE::Shell Theme directory, under a subdir called 'twolame' and modify it as you like. You could see a example of a update.format file into the examples directory in this repo.

Create the be.shell entry

Add to the be.shell file the update entry and add it to a Panel to visualize it.
