Waybar
Waybar is a GTK status bar made specifically for wlroots compositors.
To use it, it's recommended to either use the AUR package waybar-hyprland-git
, or compile manually with the USE_EXPERIMENTAL
flag enabled.
To compile manually:
Clone the source, then do:
sed -i 's/zext_workspace_handle_v1_activate(workspace_handle_);/const std::string command = "hyprctl dispatch workspace " + name_;\n\tsystem(command.c_str());/g' src/modules/wlr/workspace_manager.cpp
meson --prefix=/usr --buildtype=plain --auto-features=enabled --wrap-mode=nodownload build
meson configure -Dexperimental=true build
and finally:
sudo ninja -C build install
If you want to use the workspaces module, it's called wlr/workspaces
.
For more info regarding configuration, see The Waybar Wiki
eww
In order to use eww, you first have to
install it, either using your distro's package manager, by searching
eww-wayland
, or by manually compiling. In the latter case, you need to
have cargo
and rustc
installed, then follow the instructions.
Configuration
After you've successfully installed eww, you can move onto configuring it. There are a few examples listed in the Readme, we highly recommend you to also read through the Configuration options.
NOTE: Read the wayland section carefully before asking why your bar doesn't work.
