Title.

Have been using waybar.

Switched to noctalia but found it kinda an in-between solution - not really lightweight like waybar but not really a proper desktop.

Obviously I can just give LXQT a try but wanted to know other people's long term experience with it to see if it's worth the hassle of setting up.

I see that the config files are slightly different and are nicely separated.

One thing I saw on the download is that it appears to be configured for the last version of Niri. Does it still work with the updated Niri/does blur still work?

I was curious to try out ironbar but the one in the repo is over a year old and doesn't seem to work with Niri.

Digging further I found that someone had tried to update it a couple of months ago but there were compilation issues, someone saying that the evdev-rs crate is trying to build the library from a vendored source:

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/59520

I don't fully understand what this means, but is this issue unsolvable? Or just someone has to do a bit more work to edit things to make it use the host library.

Hey, I'm having this issue.

I have 2 window rules for Thunar, each assigned a different config.

floatingthunar is to open a floating, transparent, non-blurred instance.\

normal thunar is to open a regular tiled window.

However, when I open a window first as floating, then hit the keybind for the tiled, it automatically opens as floating even though I hit the tiled keybind.

Similarly if I open the first as tiled, it will open all following instances as tiled no matter what keybind I hit.

This doesn't happen with my other applications e.g. foot terminal.

Is it something specific to Thunar that is causing this issue?

window-rule {

match app-id=r#"floatingthunar"#

open-floating true

opacity 0.85

background-effect {

blur false

}

default-column-width { proportion 0.33; }

default-window-height { proportion 0.5; }

}

window-rule {

match app-id="thunar"

match is-floating=false

// 75% transparency to match your style

opacity 0.85

background-effect {

blur true

}

// Default width (optional, adjust to your liking)

// default-column-width { proportion 0.5; }

}
