  • Issues with a yellow line on top of Nerd Fonts symbols on polybar.
    2 projects | /r/linuxquestions | 21 Jan 2023
    I had recently run into a problem where a thin yellow line (and blue line on other symbols) was being drawn on top of a symbol (the symbol is the rounded half-circle from the aur package Nerd-Fonts-Complete 2.0.0-1), the line appears when it is being drawn on polybar on i3-wm and it's length varies when restarting the wm. I've tried installing the fonts directly from Powerline Extra Fonts, I've tried both the normal and the patched version and the problem persists with both. I use an old version of Nerd-Fonts-Complete for better compatibility with the other symbols. I've read this issue with a person having a similar issue in vim, I hadn't been able to glean much information though. This issue doesn't happen on my desktop computer, only happens on my T480s.
  • Patched font for filled rounded corners

    The most similar thing I could find by now are the rounded glyphs of powerline-extra-symbols, but those have two corners rounded of.

    its included in p10k, if you install that you can get them in your shell, or see the powerline-extra repo for the symbols. I highly recommend going witb p10k tho, way easier to maintain
  • how to make custom boxes?

    Everything on the bar is text (except for the tray and border), so the config probably uses powerline symbols in the modules to achieve this effect.
  • Polybar Modules with rounded corners?

    You can't get true rounded corners for it, but you can get something similar using powerline icons: https://github.com/ryanoasis/powerline-extra-symbols
  • how do i achieve this?
