# Waybar
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
2023-09-05 13:39:20 +02:00
Waybar is a GTK status bar made specifically for wlroots compositors and
supports Hyprland by default. To use it, it's recommended to use your distro's
package.
If you want to use the workspaces module, first, copy the configuration files from
`/etc/xdg/waybar/` into `~/.config/waybar/`. Then, in `~/.config/waybar/config` replace
2023-09-05 13:39:20 +02:00
all the references to `sway/workspaces` with `hyprland/workspaces`.

For more info regarding configuration, see

[The Waybar Wiki](https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/wiki/Module:-Hyprland).

## How to launch
After getting everything set up, you might want to check if Waybar is configured to your liking. To launch it, simply type `waybar` into your terminal.
If you would like waybar to launch alongside hyprland, you can do this by adding a line to your hyprland configuration that reads `exec-once=waybar`
## Waybar popups render behind the windows
In `~/.config/waybar/config`, make sure that you have the `layer` configuration
set to `top` and not `bottom`.
## Active workspace doesn't show up
Replace `#workspaces button.focused` with `#workspaces button.active` in `~/.config/waybar/style.css`.
## Scrolling through workspaces
Since there a lot of configuration options from `sway/workspaces` are missing, you
should deduce some of them by yourself. In the case of scrolling, it should look like this:
```json
2023-09-05 13:39:20 +02:00
"hyprland/workspaces": {
"format": "{icon}",
"on-scroll-up": "hyprctl dispatch workspace e+1",
"on-scroll-down": "hyprctl dispatch workspace e-1"
}
```
## Clicking on a workspace icon does not work!
2023-09-05 13:39:20 +02:00
On the `hyprland/workspaces` module, add `"on-click": "activate"`. That's the purpose of
the `sed` command used before building Waybar: the default way to select a workspace by
clicking uses the `swaymsg`'s way, and thus it is required to edit
this function to make it work with `hyprctl`.
## Window title is missing
Follow the above instructions to make sure everything is working.
The prefix for the window module that provides the title is `hyprland` not `wlr`.
In your waybar config, insert this module:
```json
"modules-center": ["hyprland/window"],
```
If you are using a multiple monitors, you may want to also insert this module configuration:
```json
"hyprland/window": {
"max-length": 200,
"separate-outputs": true
},
```
# Eww
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
2022-08-13 18:25:43 +02:00
In order to use [Eww](https://github.com/elkowar/eww), you first have to install
2022-08-13 01:47:48 +02:00
it, either using your distro's package manager, by searching `eww-wayland`, or
2022-08-13 18:25:43 +02:00
by manually compiling. In the latter case, you can follow the
[instructions](https://elkowar.github.io/eww).
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
## Configuration

2022-08-13 18:25:43 +02:00
After you've successfully installed Eww, you can move onto configuring it. There
are a few examples listed in the [Readme](https://github.com/elkowar/eww). It's also
highly recommended to read through the
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
[Configuration options](https://elkowar.github.io/eww/configuration.html).
2022-08-13 18:25:43 +02:00
{{< hint type=important >}}
Read
[the Wayland section](https://elkowar.github.io/eww/configuration.html#wayland)
2022-08-13 01:47:48 +02:00
carefully before asking why your bar doesn't work.

{{< /hint >}}
Here are some example widgets that might be useful for Hyprland:
<details>
<summary>Workspaces widget</summary>
This widget displays a list of workspaces 1-10. Each workspace can be clicked on to jump to it, and scrolling over the widget cycles through them. It supports different styles for the current workspace, occupied workspaces, and empty workspaces. It requires [bash](https://linux.die.net/man/1/bash), [awk](https://linux.die.net/man/1/awk), [stdbuf](https://linux.die.net/man/1/stdbuf), [grep](https://linux.die.net/man/1/grep), [seq](https://linux.die.net/man/1/seq), [socat](https://linux.die.net/man/1/socat), [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/), and [Python 3](https://www.python.org/).
### `~/.config/eww.yuck`
```lisp
...
(deflisten workspaces :initial "[]" "bash ~/.config/eww/scripts/get-workspaces")
(deflisten current_workspace :initial "1" "bash ~/.config/eww/scripts/get-active-workspace")
(defwidget workspaces []
(eventbox :onscroll "bash ~/.config/eww/scripts/change-active-workspace {} ${current_workspace}" :class "workspaces-widget"
(box :space-evenly true
(label :text "${workspaces}${current_workspace}" :visible false)
(for workspace in workspaces
(eventbox :onclick "hyprctl dispatch workspace ${workspace.id}"
(box :class "workspace-entry ${workspace.id == current_workspace ? "current" : ""} ${workspace.windows > 0 ? "occupied" : "empty"}"
(label :text "${workspace.id}")
)
)
)
)
)
)
...
```
### `~/.config/eww/scripts/change-active-workspace`
```sh
#! /bin/bash
function clamp {
min=$1
max=$2
val=$3
python -c "print(max($min, min($val, $max)))"
}
direction=$1
current=$2
if test "$direction" = "down"
then
target=$(clamp 1 10 $(($current+1)))
echo "jumping to $target"
hyprctl dispatch workspace $target
elif test "$direction" = "up"
then
target=$(clamp 1 10 $(($current-1)))
echo "jumping to $target"
hyprctl dispatch workspace $target
fi
```
### `~/.config/eww/scripts/get-active-workspace`
```sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
hyprctl monitors -j | jq '.[] | select(.focused) | .activeWorkspace.id'
socat -u UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/hypr/$HYPRLAND_INSTANCE_SIGNATURE/.socket2.sock - |
stdbuf -o0 awk -F '>>|,' -e '/^workspace>>/ {print $2}' -e '/^focusedmon>>/ {print $3}'
```
### `~/.config/eww/scripts/get-workspaces`
```sh
#!/bin/bash
spaces (){
WORKSPACE_WINDOWS=$(hyprctl workspaces -j | jq 'map({key: .id | tostring, value: .windows}) | from_entries')
seq 1 10 | jq --argjson windows "${WORKSPACE_WINDOWS}" --slurp -Mc 'map(tostring) | map({id: ., windows: ($windows[.]//0)})'
}
spaces
socat -u UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/hypr/$HYPRLAND_INSTANCE_SIGNATURE/.socket2.sock - | while read -r line; do
spaces
done
```
</details>
<details>
<summary>Active window title widget</summary>
This widget simply displays the title of the active window. It requires [awk](https://linux.die.net/man/1/awk), [stdbuf](https://linux.die.net/man/1/stdbuf), [socat](https://linux.die.net/man/1/socat), and [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/).
### `~/.config/eww/eww.yuck`
```lisp
...
(deflisten window :initial "..." "sh ~/.config/eww/scripts/get-window-title")
(defwidget window_w []
(box
(label :text "${window}"
)
)
...
```
### `~/.config/eww/scripts/get-window-title`
```sh
#!/bin/sh
hyprctl activewindow -j | jq --raw-output .title
socat -u UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/hypr/$HYPRLAND_INSTANCE_SIGNATURE/.socket2.sock - | stdbuf -o0 awk -F '>>|,' '/^activewindow>>/{print $3}'
```

# Hybrid
Like Waybar, [Hybrid](https://github.com/vars1ty/HybridBar) is a GTK status bar mainly focused for wlroots compositors.
You can install it from the AUR by the name `hybrid-bar`.
## Configuration
The configuration is done through JSON, more information is available [here](https://github.com/vars1ty/HybridBar).
## How to launch
After configuring HybridBar, you can launch it by typing `hybrid-bar` into your terminal to try it out.
It is also possible to set it to launch at start, to do this you can add a line to your hyprland configuration that reads `exec-once=hybrid-bar`
### Blur
To activate blur, set `blurls=NAMESPACE` in your hyprland configuration, where `NAMESPACE` is the gtk-layer-shell namespace of your HybridBar. The default namespace is `gtk-layer-shell` and can be changed in the HybridBar configuration at
```json
{
"hybrid" {
"namespace": "namespace name"
}
}
```
