Hotspot styling?

[clanktron]

Is it possible to directly style the hotspot? In the repo there seems to be a hotspot.css but upon adding that to my config folder it doesn't seem to be used. I also tried styling the hotspot in the style.css like so:

#hotspot {
    background: #FFFFFF;
}

Right now it just ends up being styled however I style the window. I use the autohide feature and its annoying to have the hotspot stay as a black bar on the side of the screen.

You could edit /usr/share/nwg-dock/hotspot.css. However, it'll be ovewritten at the next package update.

Would you be open to reading a hotspot.css from the xdg_config folder? I could throw together a PR sometime soonish if you didn't want to bother adding the feature yourself.

Well, if I wanted people to edit it, I wouldn't had made a separate, hidden css file. :)

[clanktron]

okay...is there some technical reason you don't want people changing it?

I don't necessarily need to have custom css for the hotspot if you don't want that I guess, but I would like to make it invisible one way or the other. Is an adding flag for this a better option?

It should be invisible by default. Isn't it on your side?

window {
  background-color: rgba (0, 0, 0, 0);
  border: none
}

It is not, it takes on whatever color I set the dock window to be...but upon seeing the error here it looks like the issue is probably the nixos package not including the hotspot.css file.

the nixos package not including the hotspot.css file

I was just going to ask about it. Make your own file and place where needed.

Yea, I'll open an issue in nixpkgs for it. Thanks for your quick responses!
