My Applications

Waybar

Overview

This is my Waybar Solution for clean, minimal settup for hyprland. it contains everything I wanted from waybar. as for other needs/wants like volume control im using swaync which i open from waybar. To add the Blur to waybar please see below.

Workspaces

I configured the worspaces so that if there is content on a workspace, the dot will be darker. this is so you can keep track of the content you have open!! Inspiration from Gbar

Expanding waybar

See below screenshot. I have included a way for you to be abloe to hide and reveal certain widgets that you dont necessarily need all the time. you can add and remove widgets in ~/.config/waybar/config under group/expand

• Network Widget

  • I configured the Network widget so that it doesnt display your IP. That was default for some reason??
  • The network widget opens to nmtui in kitty

• Hyprpicker Widget

  • This is the only custom widget I have. it allows you to use hyprpicker, displays the vallues when hovered over, and coppies the hex value to your clipboard.

Hyprland Help

Apps Fuzzy or Blurry?

This may be because they need to be run with Wayland or are Electron Aplications

• The solution I found is to add the following to /usr/share/applications/{app}.desktop after exec=/app/executable/app
• Works on Spotify Discord

--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland --uri=%U

• NOTE This gets removed if the app is redownloaded! Im not sure how to make this a global thing. I have tried and failed. Help?

Notes
