Status Bar

The ML4W OS includes a Quickshell based status bar. You can enable the status bar from the sidebar where you can also disable waybar.

The status bar will appear at the top of the screen. When you hover wth your mouse the collapsed bar will expand and show more modules.

The colors will be generated automatically from the wallpaper

Configuration

To configure the statusbar, please create the file ~/.config/ml4w-statusbar/statusbar.json and overwrite specific default values.

Here is an example with all available options:

/*
Default configuration file for the Quickshell Statusbar.
*/
{
    "bar": {
        "height": 40,
        "reservedHeight": 72,
        "enabled": false,
        "alwaysExpanded": false
    },
    "pill": {
        "collapsedWidth": 0,
        "expandedWidth": 680,
        "radius": 12,
        "animationDuration": 350
    },
    "modules": {
        "left":   ["workspaces", "terminal"],
        "center": ["launcher", "clock", "swaync"],
        "right":  ["updates", "battery", "powerprofile", "volume", "systemtray", "logo", "power"]
    },
    "border": {
        "width": 2,
        "colorTop": "",
        "colorBottom": ""
    },
    "opacity": {
        "collapsed": 0.6,
        "expanded": 0.8
    },
    "clock": {

        "dateFormat": "ddd, dd MMM"
    },
    "workspaces": {
