For reasons, I’ve been neglecting to write about what I’ve been doing. I’ll catch up at some point, at least with the more interesting parts. But, ignoring the “why, ” let me at least explain the “what” (you can play detective and figure out the hardware).

Unsurprisingly, this is #VoidLinux with #niri, #waybar, #mako for notifications, and #fuzzel for the app launcher. Besides browsers and graphics editors, I only have a couple of GUI programs installed.

I have a #sway and #waybar question for all you #CSS folks.

So I have configure the battery module of the waybar configured. At the top of the file I have the following

#waybar {
background: transparent ;
background-color: alpha(@base, 0.75);
[...]
}

Which makes a nice semi-transparent bar except for...the battery when it is in the warning state, and only during the warning state. Regular and critical state remain semi-transparent, but warning get this ugly black background...

I solved the problem by adding the following lines

#battery.charging {
color: @green;
background: transparent ;
}

#battery.warning:not(.charging) {
color: @yellow;
background: transparent ;
}

#battery.critical:not(.charging) {
color: @red;
}

Notice the critical not changing that does not need background: transparent ;

So I have a working bar, but I really does not know why or how this is giving me a weird behaviour.

Do any one of y'all know what why how where? :battery_full: :battery_medium: :battery_low: :battery_empty:

Tried setting up nix plasma-manager today.

Just added a basic config now. Powerdevil and panels are yet to be added. For panels I think I should use something like #waybar or something else. (Suggest some waybar like thing which is both lightweight and aesthetically good).

Also anyone using #nix #plasma-manager? Would love to see ur configs if possible for reference😅.

And also trying the #xremap tool for shortcuts management 😅
