New

Custom URLs

The reddit, hacker-news and videos widgets can now have custom URLs for the comments if you prefer using, or host alternative front-ends. Example:

- type: hacker-news
  comments-url-template: https://www.hckrnws.com/stories/{POST-ID}

- type: reddit
  comments-url-template: https://old.reddit.com/{POST-PATH}

- type: videos
  video-url-template: https://invidious.your-domain.com/watch?v={VIDEO-ID}

(thanks for the idea @AlissonSantos95)

In addition, if you're hosting Glance on a VPS you may have noticed that the Reddit widget doesn't work due to Reddit blocking VPS IPs. As a workaround, you can now set a custom URL for the requests, routing them through an HTTP proxy. Example:

- type: reddit
  request-url-template: https://your-proxy.com/{REQUEST-URL}

(thanks for contributing @jarylc and for reporting the issue @Iliannnn & @imjuzcy)

Thumbnails for Reddit posts

You can now show thumbnails for Reddit posts (for the default style) using the new show-thumbnails property:

- type: reddit
  subreddit: technology
  show-thumbnails: true

Preview:

[!NOTE]

Thumbnails are disabled by some subreddits and aren't available for others due to limitations in Reddit's API but should work in most cases.

More control over the Weather widget location

Previously, you could only specify the city name and country for the location, however that made it impossible to set your location if the name of your city was used across multiple US states. You can now optionally select the state as the middle value:

location: Greenville, North Carolina, United States
# or 
location: Greenville, South Carolina, United States
# or
location: Greenville, Mississippi, United States

(thanks for reporting @mikesellt)

Additionally, you can now choose to show the state in the location using the new show-area-name property.

Opening links in the same tab

The bookmarks as well as monitor widgets now have a same-tab property for each entry which allows you to specify whether to open the link in the same or a new tab. Example:

- type: bookmarks
  groups:
    - title: Entertainment
      links:
        - title: YouTube
          url: https://www.youtube.com/
          same-tab: true

- type: monitor
  sites:
    - title: Jellyfin
      url: https://your-domain.com/
      same-tab: true

(thanks for the idea @Rinnray)

Hiding the arrow of bookmark links

You can now hide the arrow for each link in the bookmarks widget using the new hide-arrow property:

- type: bookmarks
  groups:
    - title: Entertainment
      links:
        - title: YouTube
          url: https://www.youtube.com/
          hide-arrow: true

Preview:

Icons for bookmark links

You can now add icons to bookmark links using the new icon property on each link:

- type: bookmarks
  groups:
    - title: General
      links:
        - title: Gmail
          url: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/
          icon: /assets/path/to/icon.png

Preview, combined with hide-arrow: true:

(thanks for the idea @Rinnray)

Additionally, you can now directly use Simple Icons for each bookmark icon using the si: prefix:

icon: si:gmail
icon: si:youtube
icon: si:reddit

[!WARNING]

Simple Icons are loaded externally and are hosted on cdnjs.cloudflare.com, if you do not wish to depend on a 3rd party you are free to download the icons individually and host them locally.

Changed

Stocks widget sort order

Previously, the stocks widget would order the stocks based on their price change for the day, placing the ones with the highest % change at the top. As this was somewhat unexpected and potentially confusing, it will now display stocks in the order which they were defined by default. To go back to the old behavior, use the sort-by property:

- type: stocks
  sort-by: absolute-change

(thanks for reporting @allardhs)

Fixed

• The stocks widget now displays the proper currency symbol for prices (thanks for reporting @Iliannnn)
