Guys, what panel is used on this screenshot of Hyprland?
These circle indicators look amazing

I know there are foot users here.
What could be wrong when I cannot type ^ , ~ , ¨ , ´ , ` at the foot terminal?
All those are some accent characters. I can type those characters in vt and in st.

This happens on every instance of foot and has happened since I needed to do a complete reinstall (because a silly rm -fr / kinda incident).

Did you recreate .config/foot/foot.ini after the reinstall?

I haven't updated my foot in a while (git version) but it says it 1.15.1, haven't updated to see if things changed.
When you compile foot, are you saving the logs, and have you looked at them to see what it's doing?

I really don't remember if I did get to copy it or if I created a new one.
Anyways:

Conky now works under wayland (native)
1.19.6 version in gentoo repo mostly works, but the just released 1.19.7 version looks sweet.

Uses layer panel protocol so is a "hidden" window, like wallpaper and *bar.

Hyprland can be relicensed https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/pull/4915

Anyone had their sfwbar being ignored by compositor window placement?
I did a big update.
Update went smoothly:

wayfire

sfwbar

wayfire:

2024-04-27T12:53:42 >>> gui-wm/wayfire-0.8.1-r1
2024-07-20T07:01:52 >>> gui-wm/wayfire-0.8.1-r2

sfwbar:

2024-04-27T13:07:33 >>> gui-apps/sfwbar-1.0_beta14
2024-07-20T06:14:01 >>> gui-apps/sfwbar-1.0_beta15

I suspect that something changed in sfwbar so that now it is floating and windows are placed under it.

I guess I'm pretty alone in this, but just in case someone else has had the same problem...

I guess I need some GTK special adjustment to make the bar... solid/non-floating.
I currently have these styles applied to the bar element:

Now we have the first Wayland compositor to be tree-cleaned:
gui-wm/hikari

Latest Hyprland doesn't depend on wlroots anymore.

I walked away from hyprland when they started up with the whole hyprlang stuff and their own renderer,
plus I wasn't liking some of the dependencies and I really didn't use much of the gee-whiz effects.

I've gone back to labwc (really starting to look a lot like openbox) with wayfire as a backup.

And I walked away from sfwbar. Its configuration seemed too complex.
I now use yambar. I have created a "applications menu" there, which will actually launch nwg-bar to display applications with their icons.
The drawbacks?

Many config files for a simple bar
nwg-bar seems to use webkit-gtk to render stuff -_-

I wonder if it was possible to use something like lavalauncher in place of nwg-bar... I'd need some way to make lavalauncher diappear after click or when mouse cursor leaves the area.

How do people here have their application tray implemented?
I mean most of the wayland bars don't have tray support. I don't know if it's necessary anymore. I mean I could just write a script for, say, bluetooth status.

So should I even bother with tray? Because I only now notices that I lost tray when I switched to yambar from sfwbar. :D

waybar supports tray.

I used to use tray for instant knowledge if any message in chats is waiting for my attention

For me, the only app I regularly use, that could use the tray, is deadbeef, and I could never get it to work well with waybar's tray.
Tray isn't that useful, IMO, there are very few apps that even use it.

I know waybar has a module for bluetooth, I believe that many of the wayland *bars do.

I use i3bar-river with i3status-rust; that doesn't have a tray though. I don't really use any applications that need the tray. Steam uses the tray but also runs without it. For me, tray isn't useful.
