Waybar is a highly customizable Wayland bar.

Waybar can be installed from both configuration.nix and Home Manager:

❄︎ /etc/nixos/configuration.nix or ~/.config/home-manager/home.nix

programs.waybar.enable = true;

Waybar can be configured using options found on the Home Manager Appendix. You can also find configuration options under home-manager/options/programs/waybar on mynixos.

❄︎ ~/.config/home-manager/home.nix

programs.waybar.settings.main = {
  modules-right = ["clock"];
};
# programs.waybar.style = "";

Alternatively, you may configure using JSONC (and CSS) file(s) by:

❄︎ ~/.config/home-manager/home.nix

xdg.configFile."waybar/config.jsonc".source = ./waybar/config.jsonc;
# xdg.configFile."waybar/style.css".source = ./waybar/style.css;

Please refer to the default configuration (config.jsonc and style.css) and wiki for further information on configuration.
