[River] WIP, just started. Pretty much just done the bar.

Is that waybar ? I saw the video from Isaac Freund on youtube I really liked the bar that he had on his setup, I wanted to emulate that on my setup.

Yep, waybar. Much better than polybar as you can customise it with css

Could you maybe share the configuration files ? I was trying to emulate the box type of waybar for my river setup. I wanted to know how you got that border outline in that color.

communism OP , 4 months ago

For the border it’s just css. In your style.css:

<span style="color:#323232;">window#</span><span style="color:#795da3;">waybar </span><span style="color:#323232;">{
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  </span><span style="color:#0086b3;">background-color</span><span style="color:#323232;">: @background;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  </span><span style="color:#0086b3;">color</span><span style="color:#323232;">: @foreground;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  </span><span style="color:#0086b3;">opacity</span><span style="color:#323232;">: </span><span style="color:#0086b3;">1</span><span style="color:#323232;">;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  </span><span style="color:#0086b3;">border</span><span style="color:#323232;">: </span><span style="color:#0086b3;">1</span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#a71d5d;">px </span><span style="color:#323232;">solid @accent;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>

(where those are variables representing my waybar colours, you can ofc use literal values instead)

Many thanks. I did some experimenting yesterday and found out about it. Thank you nonetheless.

To get neofetch to display river and not sway make sure that you have either lsof or fuser packages installed and it should display river then. See lines 1902-1903 from this link.

Hm, I have lsof installed. Wonder why it’s showing Sway then. Not a big deal, I won’t waste time trying to get it to show

To determine the current WM in Wayland, neofetch first tries getting the process connected to the current Wayland display. If that fails, it checks all running processes against a hardcoded list of known WMs (which includes river).

In practice, it seems to prefer the value of XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP, but idrk, neofetch is magic.

You might’ve seen people use fastfetch, which should just get it right, but is also magic, tho at least c and not bash.

wdym “just started”, it looks like you’re done

communism OP , 4 months ago

I’m showing you the parts I’m happy with—a lot of programs are not customised! Also, it’s a placeholder wallpaper & neofetch theme, etc

backhdlp , 4 months ago

you just like me frfr (I’d post here if I’d customize my bar)
