swankybar

Sway + Waybar custom plugin to toggle Adaptive Sync from Waybar.

Made this custom plugin because Sway with adaptive sync on causes my monitors to flicker, so I only want to use it when gaming. But I can never remember the magical invocation and swaymsg --help is not very helpful.

Static-linked Haskell release binary lovingly built with Nix flakes! See flake-static.nix.

Requirements

• Sway
• Waybar > v 0.9.5
• (Optional) DBus notifications through org.freedesktop.Notifications
• A font with the following Glyphs: 󰓦 󱆢 󰓨 󰓧

Installation

1. Download swankybar-as
2. chmod +x swankybar-as
3. Add this to your Waybar config (usually in ~/.config/waybar/config)

"custom/swankybar-as" : {
  "format": "{}",
  "format-alt": "{}",
  "on-click": "PATH/TO/swankybar-as toggle", // UPDATE THIS
  "on-click-middle": "PATH/TO/swankybar-as toggle --all", // UPDATE THIS
  "on-click-right": "PATH/TO/swankybar-as", // UPDATE THIS
  "return-type": "json",
  "tooltip": true,
  "exec": "PATH/TO/swankybar-as", // UPDATE THIS
  "exec-on-event": true,
  "interval": 60 // Set this to whatever you like
}

Installation on NixOS

Add to a NixOS config with

pkgs.haskellPackages.callPackage

For example, the v0.1.0.0 release in my config looks like this:

let swankybar = pkgs.haskellPackages.callPackage (pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
    owner = "vkraven";
    repo = "swankybar";
    rev = "16efddc0acc8e1c010e5a7fed6794b0a1d01f461";
    sha256 = "Xwp5r9j1Vu0W+x3bNAdTw0/wjmIAtuk6iBYgBhcSOJg=";
}) {};

...


environment.systemPackages = [

 ...
 
 swankybar
];

Or, in an overlay:

self: super: 
{
  swankybar = super.haskellPackages.callPackage (super.fetchFromGitHub {
    owner = "vkraven";
    repo = "swankybar";
    rev = "16efddc0acc8e1c010e5a7fed6794b0a1d01f461";
    sha256 = "Xwp5r9j1Vu0W+x3bNAdTw0/wjmIAtuk6iBYgBhcSOJg=";
  }) {};
}
