  • sway version 1.9

• Configuration File:

    status_command status.sh
}

.local/bin/status.sh

#!/bin/sh
printf "{\"version\":1}\n"
printf "[\n"
while :; do
    printf "["
    printf '{"full_text":"Hello, World!","urgent":true},'
    printf "],"
    sleep 1
    printf "["
    printf '{"full_text":"Hello, World!","urgent":false},'
    printf "],"
    sleep 1
done

• Description:

Status line block contents have additional margin when the block is urgent. A block with the same content is thus wider when urgent. With the above example the block oscillates.

As far as I can tell there are some checks for block->urgent that change margins (ie. here). Not sure why this is wanted or expected. Can't setup a dev environment to check, though. Sorry!
