Thanks for reporting. I won't be able to test/fix this for a few weeks (info in README) but I'll get to it at some point :)
I'll mark it as a bug until I can test
This is the priority in which GTK parses the CSS files. Swaync imports the user and the application CSS in a lower priority than ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
which is the intended behavior. Read this for more information.
What I could do is to change the application CSS priority to the same of ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
which other projects like Waybar already have done. This does mean though that you won't be able to override anything from your ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
file.
Making changes to global css and using swaync-client --reload-css does not reload the global css.
This only reloads the application CSS, not GTKs CSS.
Okay, interesting.
This does mean though that you won't be able to override anything from your ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css file.
Do you mean that if I have my application specific config, I won't be able to override that with the global config?
As far as I understand this is how it usually is, where the global config has some sane defaults and the application can do it's own thing.
I also use Waybar so I can test this with it too.
Waybar has the main window with name waybar
, label waybar
and style class background
.
I am able to have the main window background as transparent with this style.css
:
window#waybar {
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
}
So it somehow does prioritize application style.css
over the global gtk.css
. The same works when replacing window#waybar
with .background
.
As far as I know, I think it's common to use a global css in
~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
This should be loaded first, then
~/.config/swaync/style.css
should be loaded "on top of that", meaning if there are different values, then swaync css should be prioritized.I can't however get this to work.
I have this in my
~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
:I have this in my
~/.config/swaync/style.css
:The result I get out of this is the swaync window blocks everything in my visible screen.
Removing
.background
from global config and restarting swaync loads the swaync css correctly, with transparent colors.Side note:
Making changes to global css and using
swaync-client --reload-css
does not reload the global css.
