I am extremely pleased with how it looks. Initially, I was quite concerned about achieving a similar appearance and after two unsuccessful attempts, I felt defeated and abandoned the effort. However, thanks to the helpful individuals in the Matrix chat who assured me that achieving the desired look with Waybar was indeed possible, I decided to give it another shot, initially to prove them wrong. To my surprise, I was met with significant progress. While there are still some finishing touches and refactoring to be done, I plan to address these gradually as time permits. Currently, it is functioning perfectly and is user-friendly.

Wow, that is really nice looking. How is Wayland working out for you?

I've had a positive experience overall. While I haven't been involved in gaming lately, I can say that for my daily work and development tasks, the transition from Xorg to Wayland has been smooth and without any major drawbacks.

That’s good to know. I’ve been considering trying out Hyprland, but I’m worried about Nvidia drivers not working well, especially with gaming.

I thought so. That was also my main concern abt trying it out bcz I had an older nvidia gpu like 710 or something so that was completely incompatible but the newer ones should work good if not perfect. I can't vouch for that though cuz I am not using nvidia now.

Hi,

It's beautiful :)

Could you share the wallpaper ? I also really like the one illustrating the dot files page, could you share it too pretty please ? 8)
