HM Module faulty

[Mikilio]

Builds but doesn't run because it expects defaults

What doesn't work? Please be as precise as possible. e.g.: "gBar crashes on hovering the RAM sensor module. No other modules are affected."

Steps to Reproduce

Use the hm-module as described in README.md and start bar from terminal

Expected behavior

Bar should start

Solution I browsed the Code and saw that absolute paths like /usr/share etc. are being used. These paths don't exist so the executable can not find any installed files by gBar. Abiding by XDG specifications and using environment variables like XDG_DATA_DIRS.

Information about your system and gBar

• OS: NixOS
• Desktop environment Hyprland
• commit sha256 if possible 1279d3e2fb35b5df01fa86b77fa5d8d2bfa3274e

Yeah, I don't check XDG_DATA_DIRS, but I do check XDG_DATA_HOME. This is the reason the first one doesn't work but the second does. (The HM writes to extraCSS to .config/gBar/style.css) The second one asserts, because you executed the wrong command. You want gBar bar 1 for the bar. gBar 1 is not a valid command.

Though thinking about it I probably want to add a check for XDG_DATA_DIRS

Actually, I might make a PR for that if it helps :) Thanks a lot for gBar!

If you want to make a PR, that would be awesome!
