Polybar

  • Config: polybar/.config/polybar/config.ini
  • Launch Script: polybar/.config/polybar/launch_polybar.sh (called by both i3 and Xmonad startup hooks).
  • Visuals:
    • Background/foreground sourced from Xresources with fallbacks.
    • Rounded corners (radius = 10), 24pt height, and a full-width bar to keep right-side modules (wifi menu, tray, power) visible.
    • Multi-font stack (Hack, FiraCode, JetBrains Mono) for icon coverage.
    • 3pt border and separators using the shared color palette.
  • Modules (Left → Center → Right):
    • date: primary clock.
    • battery: multi-stage icons with charging animation and warnings at 5%.
    • xworkspaces: active workspace highlight with color inversion.
    • pulseaudio: volume percentage with mute indicator.
    • filesystem: monitors /, /home, and /docker.
    • network: wireless status with ramp icons and SSID label.
  • wifi_menu: script module that renders 󰤨; hook it to Rofi or network helpers as needed.
  • tray: system tray offset with spacing to accommodate applets.
  • power_menu: custom script showing ⏻; left click opens the Rofi power menu (~/.config/rofi/powermenu/type-5/powermenu.sh), right click opens the legacy Wi-Fi menu script (~/.config/rofi.alopes/Rofi_Wifi_Menu.sh).
  • Interactions:
    • Network module hooks into ~/.local/bin/wifi-toggle on left click and relaunches nm-applet on right click.
    • Polybar IPC is enabled (enable-ipc = true) to support scripted reloads.
  • i3/Xmonad Integration: Launch binding Mod+P maps to the same launch_polybar.sh script in both window managers, so reloading the bar is consistent.
