snackbar

Usage

1. Build with earthly, guix, or make

• earthly +build

• make build

• building with guix requires either my guix channel or the package manifest and some basic modifications

  • install from channel:
    • guix build snackbar
  • install from manifest
    • git clone https://github.com/michaeldelago/delaguix
    • guix build --load-path="$(pwd)/delaguix" snackbar

Installation

If using guix and either using my channel or building locally:

1. Install package

   $ guix install snackbar
   

If using guix and artifacts from most recent CI run:

1. Authorize the signing key of the build server

   $ sudo guix archive --authorize < etc/guix/signing-key.pub
   

2. Install downloaded nar file

   $ guix archive --import < home/runner/work/snackbar/snackbar/snackbar.nar
   

Else:

1. Move executable from build/snackbar to ~/bin/snackbar

   $ mv ./build/snackbar ~/bin/snackbar

2. Configure sway

   ~/.config/sway/config:

   bar {
       position top
       status_command while ~/bin/snackbar; do sleep 1; done
   
       colors {
           statusline #ffffff
           background #323232
           inactive_workspace #32323200 #32323200 #5c5c5c
       }
   }
   

3. Reload sway (default $mod+shift+c)
