# Status Bars
|
|
|
|
Launch your bar with `exec-once=`.
|
|
|
|
## Waybar
|
|
|
|
Waybar is a GTK status bar made specifically for wlroots compositors.
|
|
|
|
To use it, it's recommended to use the AUR package `waybar-hyprland-git`,
|
|
or compile manually with the `USE_EXPERIMENTAL` flag enabled.
|
|
|
|
### Compiling Manually
|
|
|
|
To compile manually:
|
|
|
|
Clone the source, cd into it, then do:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
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](https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/wiki).
|
|
|
|
### Waybar popups render behind the windows
|
|
|
|
In `~/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.focus` with `#wroskapces button.active` in `~/.config/style.css`.
|
|
|
|
## Eww
|
|
|
|
In order to use [Eww](https://github.com/elkowar/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 can follow the
|
|
[instructions](https://elkowar.github.io/eww).
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
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). We
|
|
highly recommend you also read through the
|
|
[Configuration options](https://elkowar.github.io/eww/configuration.html).

Read
|
|
[the Wayland section](https://elkowar.github.io/eww/configuration.html#wayland)
|
|
carefully before asking why your bar doesn't work.
