dotfiles VS Waybar

I forgot to link to my dotfiles, I edited my comment.

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
