From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

i, a simpleton, have succeeded in placing cava within my waybar. But i, a simpleton, have succeded in making cava a solid bar when audio is playing. is there a way to adjust this ? should i remove some of the icons in the modules section of my waybar config? would that even help? am i to just shout into the void?

tldr: cava make too big. Me unhappy.

Try increasing the height of the bar to some insane value. Just to make sure it’s not cava being unable to scale down.

so, funnily enough, the icons stayed the same size when i increased the bar height. https://imgur.com/2tnjRZ2

Interesting. Well it was worth trying I guess.

i just tried it in plasma and it works fine. i use waybar with sway on the same computer. so maybe its a sway problem?

[–] tekato@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Doubt it’s a sway problem. You got it to work with waybar in plasma, or just in a terminal? Anyways, my setup is also sway+waybar so I’ll try to use cava later today.

i just tried it in sway and it works!

but now the whole section in waybar is upsizing & downsizing with the music. * shrug emoji

Lol. It’ll work eventually.

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 1 points 1 month ago

Here's hoping.

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 1 points 1 month ago

I will try that.
