Hmm.. Doesnt happen with me. What is your polybar version? Try running polybar --version and let me know the output.

EliasTheDev commented 2 years ago

Yeah sure! I got this output:

polybar 3.5.7

Features: +alsa +curl +i3 +mpd +network(libnl) +pulseaudio +xkeyboard

Okay, so i just tried this on my arch with i3 and it worked without any problems. What i feel is there is some problem with polybar. Like, when you were installing/building it you might have encountered some problems or it seems this could be a problem with your compositor because to use this bar you need picom with glx backend so just check if you are running any compositor in the background like picom or any other. I REALLY FEEL THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPOSITOR SO DO WHAT I SAID ABOVE AND LEMME KNOW. thanks

EliasTheDev commented 2 years ago

Appearently, it was the compositor - picom - who was causing the main issue. But sadly, we have another issue:

notice: Parsing config file: /home/enigma/.config/polybar/config.ini
error: Undefined bar: example

Umm no. This is not exactly an issue here but you are doing it wrong. Instead of running polybar this way run it from the launcher.bash script provided so ./launcher.bash

EliasTheDev commented 2 years ago

Yup! this worked perfectly fine. Thanks for your time!

Gald to know. Would you like to share a screenshot of how it is looking on your setup. Just curious and i like to see the result after helping someone out.

EliasTheDev commented 2 years ago

I'm not gonna say it's awful. But unsatisfying, probably because I didn't install material design font on my machine

Here it is

nothingButSyntaxError commented 2 years ago

Hmm looks like you are missing a font or 2. Alright then. Looks good. I am gonna close the issue since the problem is solved.
