8 months ago Hello, wms, whether bspwm, qtile, xmonad, hyprland, etc., are just simple wms and you have to spend many hours adding and configuring things to make them a usable and "complete" environment for use.
In this case, polybar, the bar that almost all my themes use, does not have a native module for Bluetooth. However there are many modules for polybar out there like this one https://github.com/msaitz/polybar-bluetooth
However there are better options like "blueman"
Once installed, you have to add it to the bspwmrc file so that it starts at startup, you would only have to add if I'm not mistaken this line at the end of the bspwmrc file
blueman-applet &
Of course, first you must activate the service sudo systemctl enable blueman
And so every time you log in you will have the Bluetooth icon in your system tray. Im not use bluetooth and im possibly mistaken but here the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Blueman
desktop environments like gnome or kde, xfce activates the services, and add the accesibility to the program whatever they use to bluetooth, That's why they tend to be heavier because they add everything, even what you don't use or what you don't even know exists. That's the magic of WMs, you add whatever you need. but of course it requires more effort and a little more knowledge.
"Hi, how are you? I'm new to Arch and this environment. I've been testing your files on a virtual machine and I've liked it a lot. I'm considering using it as the main system on an old laptop, but I'm not sure if there's any module or way to enable, disable, and sync Bluetooth to my headphones. I hope you can help me with that. Also, I'm not sure if there's a way to support your work. I'd like to donate money without offending your work."
