Configuration to display waybar over tiled and fullscreen windows? #491

Open l3s2d opened 4 years ago

l3s2d commented 4 years ago

Is there configuration that will display waybar over all windows? Similar to how floating windows are positioned when "layer": "top" is set. This would be used in conjunction with killall -SIGUSR1 waybar to toggle the bar.

Here is the config to achieve this with swaybar:

bar {
    mode hide
    position top
    modifier none
}

bindsym $mod+m bar hidden_state toggle

Sorry for the offtopic, but @l3s2d could you please share some details on how to set this "layer": "top" for floating windows so that they appear on top of full-screen apps? I'm searching but seemingly can't find anything...

@maximbaz I think I was referring to how floating windows can appear under waybar when "layer": "top" is set in waybar's config. To my knowledge there isn't a way to accomplish what you're asking. Sorry for the poor wording!

I would be really happy to have this feature as well

Is this implemented? In the meantime, I'm using this in sway config file to show/hide it

bindsym --no-repeat $mod+q exec pkill -USR1 waybar

But the thing is when I hit $mod+q and waybar shows, containers resize. It would be good to have waybar overlay on top of containers, like how mode overlay works for sway-bar.

I'd love to have this too!

Is this what I'm experiencing when say, steam popups are partially covered by waybar?

if you set "layer": "overlay" waybar is rendered on top of fullscreen windows (at least in hyprland)

Does it still work when the bar is set to toggle.

On swaywm, it works until you setup waybar to be toggleable, at which point it doesn't show up in Fullscreen for some reason.
