NAME

waybar-styles - using stylesheets for waybar

DESCRIPTION

Waybar uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to configure its appearance.

It uses the first file found in this search order:

  • $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/waybar/style.css
  • ~/.config/waybar/style.css
  • ~/waybar/style.css
  • /etc/xdg/waybar/style.css
  • /etc/xdg/waybar/style.css

EXAMPLE

An example user-controlled stylesheet that just changes the color of the clock to be green on black, while keeping the rest of the system config the same would be:

@import url("file:///etc/xdg/waybar/style.css")
#clock {

background: #000000;
color: #00ff00; }

Hover-effect

You can apply special styling to any module for when the cursor hovers it.

#clock:hover {

background-color: #ffffff; }
