## Waybar
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
To start configuring, copy the configuration files from
|
|
`/etc/xdg/waybar/` into `~/.config/waybar/`. Then, in `~/.config/waybar/config`
|
|
|
|
To use the workspaces module, replace all the occurrences of `sway/workspaces`
|
|
with `hyprland/workspaces`. Addionally replace all occurences of `sway/mode` with `hyprland/submap`
|
|
|
|
For more info regarding configuration, see
|
|
[The Waybar Wiki](https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/wiki/Module:-Hyprland).
|
|
|
|
### How to launch
|
|
|
|
Type `waybar` into your terminal. In order to have Waybar launch alongside
|
|
Hyprland, add this line to your Hyprland configuration:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
exec-once = waybar
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Waybar also provides a systemd service. If you use Hyprland with [uwsm](../../Useful-Utilities/Systemd-start), you can enable it, using the following command.
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
systemctl --user enable --now waybar.service
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Waybar FAQ
|
|
|
|
#### Active workspace doesn't show up
|
|
|
|
Replace `#workspaces button.focused` with `#workspaces button.active` in
|
|
`~/.config/waybar/style.css`.
|
|
|
|
#### Scrolling through workspaces
|
|
|
|
Since 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
|
|
"hyprland/workspaces": {
|
|
"format": "{icon}",
|
|
"on-scroll-up": "hyprctl dispatch workspace e+1",
|
|
"on-scroll-down": "hyprctl dispatch workspace e-1"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Window title is missing
|
|
|
|
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 multiple monitors, you may want to insert the following option:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
"hyprland/window": {
|
|
"separate-outputs": true
|
|
},
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Eww
|
|
|
|
[Eww](https://github.com/elkowar/eww) (ElKowar's Wacky Widgets) is a widget
|
|
system made in Rust + GTK, which allows the creation of custom widgets
|
|
similarly to AwesomeWM. The key difference is that it is independent of window
|
|
manager/compositor.
|
|
|
|
Install Eww 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
|
|
|
|
There are a few examples listed in the [Readme](https://github.com/elkowar/eww).
|
|
It's also highly recommended to read through the
|
|
[Configuration options](https://elkowar.github.io/eww/configuration.html).
|
|
|
|
{{< callout >}}
|
|
|
|
Read
|
|
[the Wayland section](https://elkowar.github.io/eww/configuration.html#wayland)
|
|
carefully, otherwise Eww won't work on Hyprland.
|

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/).

## Hybrid
|
|
|
|
Like Waybar, [Hybrid](https://github.com/vars1ty/HybridBar) is a GTK status bar
|
|
mainly focused on wlroots compositors.
|
|
|
|
It can be installed using the `hybrid-bar` package from the AUR.
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
The configuration is done through JSON. More information is available
|
|
[here](https://github.com/vars1ty/HybridBar).
|
|
|
|
### How to launch
|
|
|
|
After configuring HybridBar, it can be launched by typing `hybrid-bar` into a
|
|
terminal. It is also possible to set it to launch at startup. To do this, add
|
|
this line to `hyprland.conf`:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
exec-once = hybrid-bar
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Blur
|
|
|
|
To activate blur for your status bar, have a look at [layer rules](https://wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Window-Rules/#layer-rules).
