nwg-panel




This application is a part of the [nwg-shell](https://nwg-piotr.github.io/nwg-shell) project.



**Nwg-panel** is a GTK3-based panel for [sway](https://github.com/swaywm/sway) and [Hyprland](https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland) 

Wayland compositors. The panel is equipped with a graphical configuration program that frees the user from the need to 

manually edit configuration files.











Currently, we have a dozen of modules, and we don't plan on many more. Many minor tasks that users request a module for,

may be easily done with [executors](https://github.com/nwg-piotr/nwg-panel/wiki/modules:-Executor).



- **Controls module**: basis system controls like brightness slider, volume slider (w/ per-app sliders), battery 

level w/ low level notification, system processes viewer, user-defined custom items, user-defined drop-down menu 

(which is the power menu by default)

- **Brightness slider**: a separate brightness slider for use per monitor; features backlight via ddcutil.

- **Clock**: system clock w/ a calendar popup built in

- **Custom button**: a user-defined graphical/textual button you could bind an action to. By default, we use one as the 

application launcher button

- **DWL tags**: deprecated and no longer supported; will be deleted in the future

- **Executor**: a useful module that executes user-provided code and displays the output in the panel as an icon and 

text; see Wiki for more info

- **Sway taskbar & Hyprland taskbar**: highly customizable modules to display a label with an icon for every running 

window, together with some more info (workspace number, split orientation on sway, X-widows marker); right click opens 

a menu that allows to move windows between workspaces, toggle floating and fullscreen, and also close windows.

- **Sway & Hyprland workspaces**: display labels to navigate between workspaces with a marker for non-empty ones; next

to the labels there's a field with currently focused window details

- **Menu Start**: module provides integration of the XGD-style [nwg-menu](https://github.com/nwg-piotr/nwg-menu)

- **Openweather**: displays weather forcast from OpenWeatherMap and weather alerts from weatherbit.io for given locations.

- **Playerctl**: displays an icon and a label of the currently played tune, together with back / play-pause / forward 

buttons

- **Scratchpad**: displays info on current scratchpad content and allows to open scratchpad windows 

- **SwayMode**: a simple indicator of a sway mode other than "default"

- **Tray**: SNI system tray module

- **KeyboardLayout**: keyboard layout switcher, between values defined as `xkb_layout` (sway) or `kb_layout` (Hyprland).

Use commas to separate values, e.g. `pl,us,de`.
