wob VS swaylock-effects

WOB (github) for volume/brightness/whatever bar.

Well I use wob for volume and brightness control. It’s an overlay bar which shows the current volume. As for the layout I just use the sway/language module on waybar

if anyone needs more idea for changing volume: https://github.com/francma/wob

if you followed the instructions on github (https://github.com/francma/wob) your socket should be located at $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/wob.sock

mkdir ~/git && cd ~/git git clone https://github.com/francma/wob.git cd wob

With Swaylock-effects you can use --grace and --fade-in to set some time to react. Hope it helps!

I am using the Fedora 38 Sway Spin and I want to change the swayidle behaviour, because I want to use swaylock-effects instead of swaylock.

I use swaylock-effects (github) instead of plain swaylock because I think it looks nicer, worth looking into for eye candy.

I know this is gonna be downvoted, but if you decide to move to sway in the future, you have swaylock-effects to do exactly that.

Might be possible to make it a custom effect for swaylock-effects

swaylock-effects on the other hand is designed for fancier stuff, has some built in, and has some hooks for custom effects which you could probably use.

Based on this issue, you're only going to get this from writing a script or something to do it, or try a fork like swaylock-effects or something.

I's working when i executing on a terminal. I've this https://github.com/mortie/swaylock-effects
