updated bar to my preferences

[tripleducky]

added:

1. interactive volume widget
2. systray
3. launcher buttons

slightly improved:

1. spacing for battery and time indicators should be more consistent on more computers.

didn't fix:

1. the focused window title. It never worked for me and I didn't want it so I never got it working.

I figure these features are pretty commonly used so if you want to share them with others feel free.

Hey, thanks for the PR! Sorry for the delay in responding, I somehow missed the notification for it.

This looks great, and I'd happily merge it with some changes.

Note that since I probably won't use your config, I'll mention you as the maintainer for it, in case someone reports an issue.

the focused window title. It never worked for me and I didn't want it so I never got it working.

Ah, that was my bad. I changed the way focused window properties are exposed in qml-niri, but forgot to update the simple-bar example. It's fixed now in 1a667c9.

For future reference you can use the fancy-bar example, since that is the config that I use regularly myself.

Please leave the original README intact, and add your config to the "Examples" section, following the same format as "Simple bar".

You can use the README in your config directory for custom information and instructions.

I'll do that as well for my own examples, and remove some things from this main README.

Please leave the original simple-bar example intact, and add your config in a new root directory. I would like to keep the "simple" example, well, simple 😄.

Give it some unique name that ends with -bar. Maybe tripleducky-bar?

"Please leave the original simple-bar example intact, and add your config in a new root directory. I would like to keep the "simple" example, well, simple 😄. Give it some unique name that ends with -bar. Maybe tripleducky-bar?" Yeah I thought about this literally like 5 minutes after I submitted the pr, tbh. Like obviously, you would want simple-bar to remain simple. Duh. I'll try to get to this sometime this evening tomorrow or something. In any case, I don't know if I mentioned it already, but thanks for making your stuff available. It really was exactly what I was looking for.
