Before submitting report

• Ubuntu Version: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
• Logs Reviewed: Yes, reviewed logs in the Install-Logs directory.

Description

The Waybar layout window was not changing when executing shortcuts. Upon investigating, I found the .sh file required manual execution permissions. Additionally, an error occurred stating rofi was not found. Installing rofi via pip resolved the issue.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Execute the shortcut for changing the Waybar layout window.
2. Observe no action takes place.
3. Manually navigate to the ~/.config/hypr directory.
4. Try running the .sh file and encounter a rofi not found error.
5. Install rofi using pip install rofi.
6. Retry, and observe the issue is resolved.

Expected Behavior

Executing the shortcut for Waybar layout change should open the Waybar theme changer without requiring manual chmod or installing rofi.

Actual Behavior

The shortcut failed to execute. Manual chmod of .sh files and installation of rofi were required to resolve the issue.

Screenshots

No screenshots available.

Additional Information

This bug may occur due to missing dependencies or improper permissions for the .sh file. The documentation should mention these prerequisites to prevent similar issues.

Dear Maintainer,

I’ve identified an issue with the Waybar layout changer and proposed updates to the documentation:

• Add a note to ensure .sh files have proper execution permissions.
• Specify that rofi is a required dependency and must be installed.

Please review my pull request for these changes to ensure clarity for future users.

you need rofi-wayland and not rofi

[SAHILGAWLI]

wayland dependency is already satisfied

[JaKooLit]

im not talking about wayland dependency

rofi-wayland is different than rofi

although rofi will work, however, some rofi menus wont work
