Description

nwg-bar is a Golang replacement to the nwgbar command (a part of nwg-launchers), with some improvements. Aimed at sway, works with wlroots-based compositors only.

The nwg-bar command creates a button bar on the basis of a JSON template placed in the ~/.config/nwg-bar/ folder. By default the command displays a horizontal bar in the center of the screen. Use command line arguments to change the placement.

In the other systems

The newest version among them is 0.1.6, as upstream numbers it.
