r/waybar

I recently switched my Hyprland config to Lua, and noticed my hyprland/workspaces module in Waybar stopped working. Turns out it works again if I use waybar-git from the AUR.

My question is: how long does it usually take for features/fixes in waybar-git to make it into the official Arch repos (pacman)?

I wrote a custom module for showing upcoming events in waybar. Currently, it supports only Google Calendar. I am willing to add more.

@define-color box_bg_color #FFFFFF;

#1,
#2 {
  background-color: @bg_box_color;
}

1

Problems = i tried writing in CSS but cannot get it to work, have to use "@define"

i want to make this local variable, how do i do that???

2

i cannot use alpha value, if i try rgba(0, 0, 0, 0), instead of #FFFFFF it doesent work (keep in mind rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) works for this document, just not when i write it like this (i think its because "@define-color" doesent track alpha so it tracks back to issue "1"

I created a little module for NordVPN on Arch over the last few days so I could monitor my connection more easily. Uses shell scripting and a systemd service to monitor the vpn connection and notify to let the user know when the connection drops or changes. Clicking the icon also toggles the connection. Figured it could be useful for anyone else who uses nord.

Repo and installation instructions are here: https://github.com/tr1stanm/nordbar

here's a demo of it being used.
