[Feature Request]: Equivalent for Windows 11's action center? #1023
Comments
I believe this is in the project plans using Eww |
Yeah, the simplest thing we can do to get close to that is to use swaync, and waybar doesn't have anything close to that. Obviously eww, or ags which i think is better, can do that style and functionality pretty much exactly, but the config language is definitely not easy to write and implement. |
I hit a roadblock with Eww as it doesn't seem to play well with multiple monitors on Wayland. I can't get the widget to open on the monitor that my mouse is on. From what I read from their docs, Eww's config language, yuck, doesn't play well with Wayland. On X11 the widget can autodetect the monitor if its monitor setting is ommitted, but on Wayland you have to specify it, and there doesn't seem to be an option like "monitor on which my mouse is currently on". I've asked on their GitHub's discussion forum about it, but I got no answer. SwayNC is starting to look like the only option for now, at least for my dual monitor setup. |
I did want to replace dunst with swayNC, but was a bit lazy to refactor the scripts... I'll do it now :) |
Thank you very much! |
I've no clue how I do want multiple styles like this to switch between... |
Are ags and eww in plans? |
I mean, this has kind of just been sitting here, but it exists: https://github.com/users/prasanthrangan/projects/1?pane=issue&itemId=37812508 |
But I gotta say @prasanthrangan your waybar is very nice and gotta say the action center is fire |
So is the plan for eww of swaync? Well sway NC is customizability is top notch. It's really flexible I didn't mess around with it . And dunst is kinda a har to configure in my opinion. And there is eww which frankly I have never used.soo what is the plan currently? |
Hi @prasanthrangan @Haraven @Skerse I made the theming for Swaync ready for all the themes I could found for HyDE (official & non-offcial). My first time playing with Official themes:Catppuccin Latte:Catppuccin Mocha:Decay Green:Edge Runner:Frosted Glass:Graphite Mono:Gruvbox Retro:Material Sakura:Nordic Blue:Rose Pine:Synth Wave:Tokyo Night:Non Official:Hack The Box:Windows 11:One Dark:MacOS:If this is acceptable I would love to submit a PR but I need a couple of things to know:
|
Holy moly this is fire |
Wow, we need a PR for this. This is great |
@Gl00ria Long time no see! What a beauty 😍. PR please 🥺 |
Hey @Gl00ria , its been a while... and this looks dope! |
It's awesome but i like the layout that @prasanthrangan send but this feature come in this repo than layout also improve in future 😃 |
Hello, Yeah I came with surprises lol. The PR's made regrading the SwayNC |
Are they putting this into practice now? Can I switch utilizing |
not yet |
Feature Request
Description
A feature I've been looking for is having one unitary menu which opens up when I press the Waybar icons for: speaker, microphone, brightness, battery, wifi or bluetooth. In my opinion, this helps manage those settings a bit easier, since it's all in one place.
Use Case
For me this would be useful to have since it gives you one single entry point for managing the most common settings for your device. Currently, you rely on keyboard shortcuts and/or separate menus for each setting. This is of course very practical and it offers a clear separation of concerns.
But there's something to be said about having a simple menu where you can enable/disable wifi and bluetooth, or adjust speaker and microphone volumes, or see battery % and adjust brightness accordingly. All of these are individual use cases that for me make sense as a way of grouping settings together.
Proposed Solution
I don't have a tehnical solution in mind, but my proposal is to have something like Windows 11's Action Center:
or like SwayNC's configs (example taken from here):
Alternatives
I've considered switching from Dunst to SwayNC just to get that action center, but many of Hyprdots' scripts seem to rely on sending Dunst notifications.
To address that, I've considered refactoring the scripts and using a generic notification script that picks between Dunst, SwayNC or Mako depending on what's available, but it's clearly a time investment.
I've also considered trying to write an action center like that from scratch, but that's even more of a time investment.
