Waybar is a highly customizable status bar for Wayland compositors, built with GTK and C++ for Sway and other wlroots-based compositors like Hyprland, River, and Niri. It provides modular widgets for system monitoring, connectivity, audio, and compositor integration, styled via CSS.
Use cases
- customize a status bar for sway on wayland
- show battery cpu and memory usage in a wayland panel
- get workspace indicators for hyprland
- display network and bluetooth status in a top bar
- replace i3status on wayland with a configurable bar
- style a desktop status bar with css
When to choose
- you use Sway, Hyprland, River, Niri, or another wlroots-based Wayland compositor
- you want a highly configurable, CSS-styled status bar with many built-in modules
- you need deep compositor integration like workspaces, window titles, and input language
When to avoid
- you are on X11 rather than Wayland
- you want a zero-configuration bar that works out of the box
- you use a desktop environment like GNOME or KDE that ships its own panel
