Waybar VS manjaro-sway

If I understand https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/wiki/Configuration correctly, what is to be displayed is defined in a JSON file that can be located in one of the directories mentioned.

GNU calls their extensions "equivalent to" things I'd have suggested trying ($_I or $-l), but I'm not sure if the equivalents are themselves GNU extensions, too. Regardless, reading this Waybar Github issue about %OI, I get the impression there was a regression at some point, in any case on March 27th 2022 someone says it "used to work fine until recently".

hope it helps. source btw: https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/issues/2177

{ config, pkgs, ... }: { wayland.windowManager.sway = let patchedWaybar = pkgs.waybar.overrideAttrs(prev: final: { patches = [ (pkgs.fetchpatch { url = "https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/pull/2134.diff"; sha256 = "1hzdv3b8zzps50pdcb8pj9cxwaix4q2d4gsqb9dl9vflgl429hq3"; }) ]; }); in { enable = true; config.bars = [{ statusCommand = "${patchedWaybar}/bin/waybar"; }]; };

See this issue. CSS and only new properties in config are reloaded when SIGUSR2 is triggered.

I think this has just been added to waybar (wlr/workspaces) to work in a similar manner to how it is in sway/workspaces. No need for fake empty terminals. Something was merged for wwlr/workspaces in the waybar github. See - https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/pull/2089.

Ah, well in looking at their git, it appears some do have fallback font issues. See here - https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/issues/215

I added a really short example for a keyboard configuration to our support document: https://github.com/manjaro-sway/manjaro-sway/blob/main/SUPPORT.md

Your best bet is checking the Manjaro Sway GitHub at https://github.com/manjaro-sway/manjaro-sway You can search the Issues to see if anyone else is running into the same error or check the FAQ.

If you want to see how nicely configured Sway looks like, then download the Manjaro Sway into your Ventoy2Disk formatted usb and try it by booting in Live mode: https://manjaro-sway.download/

Thanks for the honorable mention of Manjaro Sway edition! I always look a little towards nix, void an Solus too, but loosing the aur would be to big of a sacrifice for me.

Yep, though I tend to use Sway.
