polybar_module_cava VS hideIt.sh

For the cava audio visualizer module you can see in the popup bar, you need a font that is able to display these unicode block characters, as well as cava installed on you system. You can find the repo for setup in you own bar on my GitLab.

Nevermind, I figured it out. It's working now! I edited my initial reply to clarify that there is a working version over at my Gitlab Repo :D

It's this script that I was thinking of re-writing but I wanted to be sure it's actually going to be worth the effort.

So, I have stumbled upon to this github repo few days ago hideit.sh and this YouTube video BSPWMGlass-Green which showcasing how you can move your mouse to where the bar is and that bar will appear and will disappear once you left that bar area and i think to myself "Hey, this is damn cool and will save me more screen space". I look around on google to see if there's a patch for something like it. All i found is hideit.sh script which is compatible for polybar only. I wish there's DWM patch out there that implements this feature and add compatibility for barmodules and extrabar patch. Edit: It would be better if there's a toggle for it in the config file where you can enable either only topbar who take the effect or the bottombar if you already have merged the barmodules/extrabar patch to DWM.

The automatic hiding/showing of the bar is handled by a script called hideIt.sh. This script is a very fancy and highly configurable solution for hiding / showing any system window by only knowing their name. I have modified this script quite a bit to be able to move my main polybar together with the system tray and to support my popup bar in terms of hiding it at the right moment as well as to support pinning.
