How to disable some itens in Waybar?
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.

Waybar, how to show hour without leading zero?
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".

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

Persistent workspaces?
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.

Is there any bar for Sway similar to the panels of KDE / Xfce / Gnome2 / Windows ? I wish to always see on my screen which windows I have open, shown and focused.
It's possible I most bars/panels, I reckon. The screenshot comes from nwg-panel.
