qtile-extras VS xmonad

I have tried to implement the Rect Decoration with the Systray widget. I am having some troubles. The Rect Decoration decor isn't actually filling in the Systray widget. I tried to follow a github issue that was solved here, but have had no success. I will paste what I have in my config below, along with a screenshot. Any help would be amazing!

This configuration uses Qtile extra package and one of my favourite picom fork for minimalistic look with rounded-corners

Have a look at this widget for an example: https://github.com/elParaguayo/qtile-extras/blob/main/qtile_extras/widget/network.py

All of these can be found in my qtile-extras repo. More info is also available in the docs.

This has just been merged: https://github.com/elParaguayo/qtile-extras/pull/55

You might want to take a look at my Wordclock widget (source code) as this is something that sets the wallpaper regularly.

As for the button effect, you can do something like this using widget decorations from my qtile-extras repo.

I'm one of the developers for Qtile. I've made a number of widgets and other mods for Qtile that aren't going to end up in the main repo so I've hosted them in a separate repo, qtile-extras.

The official guide and the archwiki do say that it's okay to just install it via pacman, but I've also found some issues on the official repo that strongly suggest against installing via pacman and to use stack instead, as sometimes pacman breaks dependencies.

Especially Haskell tools often live in proximity to nix as well, e.g., pandoc or xmonad.

Hey everyone 👋 ! I'm currently working on a rust library for building and configuring your own shell! It's inspired by projects like xmonad and penrose where the configuration of the program is done in code. This means that for example, instead of using Bash's arcane syntax for configuring the prompt, it can be configured instead using a rust builder pattern! The project itself is still at a very young stage, so there are plenty of bugs and unimplemented features. However, some things that are (partially) implemented are:

Daily, because xmonad

If the problem is as described in the reply linked below, then this isn't a fundamental issue, but just a matter of how sendMessage is written. In fact, the fix already exists in xmonad/432:2fff2a0.

There are a few other things I could mention, but there are more like side issues, and not relevant to my actual LaTeX setup. First and foremost—and thus perhaps noteworthy after all—is bibliography management with arxiv-citation (see here for more words). This is integrated very well with the XMonad window manager, which makes it even more of a joy to use.

The tl;dr is that this is a bug in steam, see https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/issues/423

And here is my Xmonad configuration
