[wofi] how would I go about making this?
So, using this github issue as a reference, I'm trying to make a wofi menu that appears when a bluetooth file transmission is sent to my PC from my phone (or any other device for that matter).

Transparent or/and non-interactive notifications
I currently use mako for the notifications. When I play Strategy Games (Mouse is all over the place) and a notifcation pops up, the mouse gets stuck on the notification message until I click it.

Any software that can get me pop up windows when doing certain stuff?
I use avizo as a volume indicator, mako for notifications generally.

Is there some app that lets you launch a simple text overlay?
I guess some standard notifications app like https://github.com/emersion/mako doesn't suffice, as it isn't related to a window?

Thoughts over MicroOS aftering giving a try
mako is a Wayland notification daemon from one of the principal Sway/wlroots devs, and is currently provided with openSUSEway. It's pretty minimalist, but so are most things in the Sway/wlroots ecosystem.

Notification daemon priority
Is there any way to force dbus to use a specific notification daemon? On one of my systems, I run both Plasma and Sway. The latter obviously doesn't have a notification system, so I'm using mako. As far as I can tell, mako automatically launches when a notification is fired, however this causes an issue with Plasma. Plasma seems to be shutting down its own notification daemon in favor of anything else that's running, and I'm not sure if there's a way to prevent it from doing that

Toggling floating windows for thunderbird notification
I don’t use Thunderbird, but does it support using FreeDesktop notifications e.g. that would work with Mako? Some applications will fall back to their own windows if there’s no notification daemon running.

Making Certain Programs Transparent Instead of Making Whole Terminal Transparent
So, I use stuff like cava (audio visualizer) and btop in my Alacritty Terminal (BSPWM to run cava, i had to use terminal right and cava launches in terminal, I wanted to know whether i could run my cava or btop or any other terminal application transparent without making my whole terminal transparent.

Need help understanding termux!
It's acctually really simple and really useful, I usually use it to ssh tunnel to my main pc and start a VNC server to control from anywhere. You can also code in basically any programming language like you would do on a linux machine. You can use CLI tools to, for example, download yt music and play it, you can even use cava in it. You can play with netcat, use those stupid terminal programs to run tetris with sed on the terminal or more, run a server on your phone or even run lightweight desktop environment locally to run even GIMP or firefox (though it's very resource consuming and even newer phones can't handle it properly). Theres even proot-distro which allowes you to contain a basic linux distro on your phone and launch an instance of it (gui included if you want).

Old timey radio refurbishing - and a side quest- unsure how to go about it
3) In progress: a Philco free-standing radio housing from the 40s. I'm using one of Parts Express' boombox kits for the audio, and a Pi (with a long, narrow TFT) running https://github.com/karlstav/cava where the radio frequency display used to be. This also would be a nice candidate for a solution like the one you shared.
- I wish iTunes still had the graphical EQ. (iTunes 9.2.1) 😢 I could watch it all day.

[qtile-extras] New Visualiser widget
The widget needs cava to run. Currently you can customise the size of the widget, number of bars, colour and spacing between bars. You can also stop and start the widget (via stop(), start() and toggle() commands) so the script isn't running all the time.
