@Samueru-sama, please checkout to 'fix/issue10' branch, compile and run (without integrating it in polybar). And run polybar without |
HI, sorry but I'm not sure what is the output of cargo run, you mean this? Without ixwindow running in polybar: Also worth mentioning that this version compiles automatically when running the install script, I just tested that one just in case me manually building did something wrong but the result is the same, the icon is behind the bar still. |
|
No, I want to see the output of "cargo run". It should print window info to the terminal. I need to see it. |
Ok, there's an error at the end: |
|
First move |
ixwindow.toml was always there. But I just repeated the test using the one from this branch and it still gives the same error. Also I'm sorry I did not understand what you meant at the end, I'm really bad at this. It is worth mentioning that my i3 session is started using startx instead of a display manager, maybe that could be the issue because just like how cargo run can't find the toml file I have to manually point ixwindow to its config file when running it. |
|
Okay, what is printed when you specify config?
|
|
|
Can I see your polycar config? (to be more specific, config of your bar, i.e. I don't need the definitions of modules) |
To enable ixwindow I just replace xwindow with ixwindow in the main bar. |
|
According to this: https://github.com/polybar/polybar/wiki, you should add to your config: override-redirect = true
wm-restack = i3To be more specific, you need Let me know how that works out for you. |
|
In order to have the desired behaviour, I would have to check if polybar was generated with The reason we need to deal with this is recent update: I want icon to be under the floating windows, for example, when I hover them over icon ... And I value this feature much more, than not forcing |
|
And if that solves the problem for you, then answer the following: why you are not satisfied with the positioning of the icon? (write desired behavior and actual behavior) |
Alright that way it 'works' but now i3 is not reserving space for the window, meaning that there is no gap between polybar and the window:
|
The issue is specific to my configuration, because I display my workspaces and window title on the center of polybar, the icon has to move alongside as the size of the center modules grow/shrink. For example the center of my bar can be a tiny as this: Or as big as this: I mean you can already see that the scratchpad window titles are taking the space of where the icon would be in the last image. |
|
About gap between polybar and windows: I think you can do it in i3 configuration. There was thing called |
|
About icon position: again, draw, where you want icon to be displayed ... On the right of your module? (right now it is displayed on the left). I mean, run ixwindow (so I can see how it is displayed on your system). And draw on the same picture desired place for the icon |
Or, alternatively, just use version of |
My gaps are already set, setting override-redirect = true prevents i3 from adding gap to the bar, and wm-restack = i3 doesn't help.
Right next to the window title, here:
That position changes depending on the number of workspaces active among several other things, just in case I'm not requesting for that to be fixed, I realized that it wouldn't work on my setup after i managed to get it display the icon. |
|
About polybar gap -- I already said that I have no interest in fixing this bug, because it would require some time and am I not really interested in this right now, since I am not even using i3wm for that matter. And it seems for me that it's just easier to get it working via About icon position: it is possible to fix it without much of a headache. But I think the problem with the image you sent me is simply changing |
If certain options in polybar's bar config are not specified, bar can overlap the icon.
|
Okay, I am going to merge this PR due to most of the problems stated in the issue are resolved. If you want me to implement certain features, please open new issue. |
