polybar-collection VS polybar

I have some examples in my polybar collection. You could use as a base to make your own theme.

You could check my collection, maybe you'll find something useful https://github.com/Murzchnvok/polybar-collection

I was in the same boat, the wiki seemed too much at first so I downloaded a few configs from others who had bars set up that I liked. After a while I still hadn’t gotten anywhere towards understanding how to make it “my own”. I then stumbled upon polybar-collection and everything just started to click for me. The configs and custom scrips are set up in an easy to understand framework, whereas all of the others I looked at were way over complicated. Take a look, I ended up building my own theme using this framework and feel much better about how to customize it to my needs.

I installed Polybar using the instructions here, but when configuring it I realized most of the modules don't show up at all. This is in my my config.ini:

You can find everything you need in this polybar collection. (btw I use debian)

Just a feel https://github.com/Murzchnvok/polybar-collection

just in case it doesn't work, verify your network name, just to see if it really is wlan0, also I have a nice collection that you can use as a reference or start point.

Used this idea, you can find some greatness here

Take a look in this collection.

Not a stupid question, that happened to me before. I personally would recommend Material Icons, but if you still want to use nf, you can just put a space before a after the icon. Something like this: %{T1} ICON %{T-}, you can find more info in polybar fonts, also you can check my collection.

I'd like to just be able to write a short shell script to check if an exit node is in use, and then pipe that output into polybar which I use anyway. The problem is that I can't find an option in the tailscale Linux CLI client that will show me whether I'm using an exit node or not. Is there a way to do this?

And I follow the step here. https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/763

I am on Arch Linux and I am using pywal to generate a colour palette from my wallpaper, which I then use throughout my system. In particular, i have a bash script which grabs these colours and uses them for polybar. The problem is that sometimes these colours do not have enough contrast, and the bar is hard to read. Is there any tool that would allow me to check the readability of my colours, and modify them accordingly, directly from my script? If not, how should I be approaching this issue?

Hello, currently I am trying to get polybar setup on XFCE. I was getting an error along the lines of "background_manager: Failed to copy slice of root pixmap" and according to this GitHub issue, the only solution is to try and set the background another way, like using feh. My only issue now is that it seems like feh isn't actually doing anything whenever I use it to set a wallpaper. I believe this could be because of a conflicting system in XFCE that sets the wallpaper, how can I disable XFCE wallpapers?

Refer to the "Formatting" section of the polybar wiki" (e.g. things like -padding, -margin, -spacing).

As per the docs https://github.com/polybar/polybar/wiki/Configuration it uses a ARGB convention

The short answer is you can't.

There are a few different solutions here, try them out : https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/433
