Its accent -was already `@lavender`, which is now the desktop-wide fallback, so the two -agree without changing either. - -The only change made here was the font: `styles/fonts.css` asked for -`Commit Mono Nerd Font`, a third family outside the Noto Sans / Inconsolata -pair. It now uses `Inconsolata Nerd Font Mono`. Monospace is deliberate for a -status bar: the content is dense, numeric and glyph-heavy, and proportional -text makes values jitter as they update. - -Every size in that file went up by 2px at the same time. Inconsolata is a -narrower face than Commit Mono, so matching the nominal size made the bar read -smaller; the bump restores the previous weight on screen. - -Waybar reloads CSS live, so `killall -SIGUSR2 waybar` is enough to apply a -change. - -## Note for whoever edits this next - -`~/.config/waybar/CLAUDE.md` documents a CSS load order ending in -`styles/modules-{center,left,right}.css` and `styles/states.css`. Those files -are no longer imported by anything: `style.css` pulls in `styles/main.css` -instead, which appears to have replaced them. They are still on disk. Editing -them has no effect, and one of them holds a stale `font-family` that looks -authoritative but is dead. +The bar is [waybar-theme-udt](../../../waybar-theme-udt), which lives in its +own repository and its own config directory, `~/.config/waybar-udt/`. This +project supplies only its colours. + +`theme.css` is generated here and copied there by `install.sh`, under a fixed +name that the bar's stylesheet imports, so switching scheme rewrites the file +the running bar already reads. There is no import to repoint and no per-scheme +filename. + +## What the bar asks for + +Seven names, and nothing else: + + @accent @main-bg @main-fg @hover-bg @hover-fg @outline @critical + +plus `@warning`, and the Catppuccin-named compat rows, which the bar's dot +scripts read indirectly: `waybar-theme-udt/install.sh` parses `green`, `teal`, +`mauve`, `overlay0`, `warning` and `critical` back out of the generated file to +write a shell fragment, because those scripts are bash and cannot read +`@define-color`. + +**There are no per-module colours.** The stock bar alternated module +backgrounds so it read as stripes, and carried a role per module to do it: +`workspaces`, `temperature`, `memory`, `cpu`, `time`, `date`, `tray`, `volume`, +`backlight`, `battery`, plus `charging`. The current bar draws every pill on +`@main-bg`, so all eleven had no consumer left and were removed from every +`roles-*.conf` and from `gen_waybar`. Re-adding one means a stylesheet that +actually references it. + +## The stock config is left alone + +`~/.config/waybar/` is still on disk and nothing launches it: hyprland's +autostart runs the new bar instead. Its stylesheets still reference the +per-module names above, which this generator no longer emits, so `install.sh` +deliberately does **not** write a theme into it. Writing one would leave it +referencing colours that do not exist, which is worse than leaving it exactly +as it was last known to work. + +## Reloading + +`killall -SIGUSR2 waybar` applies a CSS change, and the bar sets +`reload_style_on_change`, so rewriting `theme.css` reaches it on its own. A +change to `config.jsonc` needs a restart rather than a signal. |
