A simple waybar module to display the window layout of the current workspace, including the currently focused window. It uses the Niri's event-stream IPC.

Requirements

• Waybar with NerdFont configured
• jq

Installation

1. Copy the script into ~/.config/waybar/scripts/waybar-niri-windows.sh
2. Add it to your waybar config, eg:

  "modules-left": ["custom/waybar-niri-windows", "niri/window"],

  "custom/waybar-niri-windows": {
    "exec": "~/.config/waybar/scripts/waybar-niri-windows.sh",
    "exec-on-event": true,
    "return-type": "json",
    "format": "{}"
  },

3. (Optional) Style the module with CSS:

#custom-waybar-niri-windows {
    font-size: 15pt;
}

4. Restart waybar:

pkill -SIGUSR2 waybar
