[Bear** with me, I want to share this cuz no one on my social circle is interested in this]

All jokes aside, I was really unhappy with all my attempts to customize polybar, so searching around I found this mad-man and decided to ditch polybar altogether for dunst and little scrips. I have to clarify, this is my first time using linux and tiling wm, so I have spent this last week trying to get it all together. It was H E L L to say the least, specially doing my on bash scripts for volume, brightness and stuff (you don't want to see that), but still, I'm extremely proud of myself and enjoyed every second of it, including the pain and frustration.

Some more details:

OS: Debian 12, net-minimal install

  • Wallpaper: Amazing artist on Pivix

  • Theme: None, I don't know how to change it desktop wide :'D, and picking colors for the terminal seems like a chore (haven't found color scheme)

  • G A P S: Always have it on 5 but 20 here for the vibe

That's it, thank you for reading! If you have suggestion for anything (linux noob here) to resources or how to keep learning this, pls feel free to share

Everything for the display real state, do you know if there is a way to do it on polybar?

i toggle this via a script that came with the [hyprland dotfiles](prasanthrangan/hyprdots: // Aesthetic, dynamic and minimal dots for Arch hyprland) i use. Technically it should work with polybar aswell if you know your way around in bash scripting.
