Hello everyone, this is my first post on this forum.
I've been using Garuda for quite a while now, started from KDE Dr4gonized and now switched to the Sway edition.
I've been ricing for a bit and I noticed there was wob francma/wob already preconfigured for us, which is very nice but it never worked for me, even with multiple install on several other machines I own.
It's not a big of a deal since it's not breaking the system, but I was wondering why it wouldn't display any bar when changing my brightness or sound.
I noticed those lines in the ~/.config/sway/config.d/default/autostart_applications
exec mkfifo $SWAYSOCK.wob
exec tail -f $SWAYSOCK.wob | wob --border-color '#ffdcbb8c' --background-color '#cc3a3a3a' --bar-color '#ffdcbb8c'
After some little test, I got this error :
$ wob --border-color '#ffdcbb8c' --background-color '#cc3a3a3a' --bar-color '#ffdcbb8c'
wob: unrecognized option '--border-color'
Usage: wob [options]
-c, --config <config> Specify a config file.
-v, --verbose Increase verbosity of messages, defaults to errors and warnings only.
-h, --help Show help message and quit.
-V, --version Show the version number and quit.
It seems like those parameters are non valid. Probably because there was an update to the wob app after the last Garuda Linux Sway ISO and configurations.
What I did is quite simple :
- First, i installed wob again, just to be sure.
yay -S wob
- I changed the lines under #Wob section in the ~/.config/sway/config.d/default/autostart_applications file :
# Wob
exec mkfifo $SWAYSOCK.wob
# THIS DOESN'T WORK. --border-color etc. not valid
# exec tail -f $SWAYSOCK.wob | wob --border-color '#ffdcbb8c' --background-color '#cc3a3a3a' --bar-color '#ffdcbb8c'
exec tail -f $SWAYSOCK.wob | wob
- Create a wob.ini file in the ~/.config/wob folder. Writting nothing in it will just make wob use its default config values, however since the person put efforts designing the default look, here is the config file using the provided colors from the commented wob command :
background_color = cc3a3a3a
bar_color = ffdcbb8c
border_color = ffdcbb8c
- The bar is now working as intended.
I'm not considering myself as a professional, this may maybe not be the best solution or the solution that the maintainers would do, but I wanted to share that to try to help people which may find this issue one day.
Anyway, I'm loving the Garuda Linux Sway experience, not planning to change anytime soon.
My inxi just in case :
