Next minor hurdle: my #ironbar is hidden by default, and I can toggle it on when I press a key. Not currently sure how to do the same with #waybar.

I can set mode to invisible, but I need "Sway IPC" to toggle it visible, I guess? But that seems to require Sway, and I don't use Sway.

I guess I can just stop/start the systemd service with a keybind. It's not like there's anything in my waybar config that would require it to be running all the time.

I've been using #ironbar for about six months now, and it works.... mooostly fine, but there are a couple of pain points:

The #niri workspace indicator updates by polling, so it can get out of sync, which is a bit annoying.
I can't restrict the music module to a particular player
The network module doesn't seem to respect on_click

So I gave #waybar a go, and it addresses the pain points above. Yay!

Except, I want to display the bar only on my main screen, which waybar can do. But I also want to display the active niri workspace on both my screens, and that is something waybar can't do.

I guess it is time to see if I can write a patch.

Today my Wife saw my desktop setup, with my new information bar and notification are and whatnot, and she demanded I set up her laptop the same way ASAP.

So not only will she have a #NixOS laptop, but it will be running #Niri, #Ironbar, #SwayNotificationCenter, and a number of other niceties.
