feat: a waybar bar for DP-3, themed by udt and drawn with icons
Builds the bar from scratch as a consumer of unified-desktop-theme: the palette comes from there, the layout and the modules live here. No font glyphs anywhere. Every symbol is a real icon from the icon theme GTK already uses, which needs all three of waybar's mechanisms because no single one covers everything: the icon-theme config key for the taskbar and tray, `image` modules driving wb-icon/wb-lang for volume, microphone, presentation mode and the keyboard flag, and CSS background-image for the workspaces, the clock pair and the launcher. The workspace icons have to be CSS because format-icons takes text rather than paths, and faking the strip with eight custom modules would have cost click-to-switch and the active and urgent states. The language flag goes the other way: hyprland/language styles as #language with no per-language class, so the flag could not be selected, and it is an image module. Icons keep their own colours: 2466 of the theme's 5169 panel icons carry a hardcoded gradient and are not recolourable, which is the intended look here. The two icons the theme lacks are shipped instead, and the monochrome Slackware mark takes the udt accent at install time. vms_dots.sh and privacy_dots.sh lived only in ~/bin, in no repository at all. They are versioned here now, symlinked back, and their hardcoded state colours read from the palette. Installs alongside the existing bar rather than over it, so DP-1 keeps working while this one is tried on DP-3. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
