If you experience transparency or rendering issues:
WGPU_BACKEND=gl hydebarThis forces OpenGL instead of Vulkan.
Currently relies on hyprland-rs for:
- Active window information
- Workspace management
- Keyboard layout
Support for other compositors is planned but not yet implemented.
hydebar evolved from ideas initially explored in the ashell project. The current architecture benefits from those early prototypes.
