polybar VS polybar-scripts

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

This doesn't directly answer your question, but probably has the pieces here for you to put together. I use this script for polybar using openweather API, there are a couple variations of this script in the repo too if you want more examples. Openweather API seems to work well though, you could probably modify it for you use case.

Yes, credits to the respective author. https://github.com/polybar/polybar-scripts/tree/master/polybar-scripts/easteregg-pornhub

https://github.com/polybar/polybar-scripts is a good resource for scripts, Google is a good resource for a lot of stuff. If you want simple see my dots I just show temp and conditions

I can offer this: polybar-scripts/battery-combined-udev

On a related note, there is a Github repo of common Polybar scripts (which is also available as an AUR package, polybar-scripts-git). It looks like you independently arrived at virtually the same script used for the updates-pacman-aurhelper module example.

I do use Pipewire and this https://github.com/polybar/polybar-scripts/pull/320/commits/3cfaa589a2f22c5269d16732d035c9f0fee60ff3 for Polybar
