Tryfol

A custom Wayland bar written in Rust + GTK4.

Note: This project is a work in progress (WIP).

Modules to refactor

• Bluetooth
• Dbusmenu (Potentially useful resource)
  • Use custom widgets to reduce usage of Rc<Mutex<...>>
• Audio (PipeWire)
• Network (Netlink)
• "things.rs"

TODO List (excluding refactors)

• Full Bluetooth control (to replace blueman-manager)
  • Investigate where connection notifications originate (likely KDE, but may be Blueman or something else)
  • Don't forget to display battery levels somewhere
• Full network control (to replace nm-applet)
• Bluetooth: deterministically sort items
• Workspaces: show icons of contained windows ?
• Restructure tryfol as a workspace (use Varlink for IPC ?)
  • tryfol-...: crates for modules in backend/* that need to be shared between other crates
  • tryfol-bar: the bar itself
  • tryfol-daemon
    • SNI watcher
    • Bluetooth notifications
    • Auto-inhibit idle when media is playing (see wayland-pipewire-idle-inhibit, which is what I currently use)
    • Sound + notifications for plugging/unplugging the power cable
    • Battery notifications
    • Playerctl replacement (so the "current player" is consistent across keybinds and the bar)
  • tryfol-idle-inhibitor: small executable to manually inhibit idling, used to prevent swayidle from triggering after resuming from hibernation (run before sleep and terminate on resume, though it might not solve the issue)
• Show USB devices battery if available (logitech mouse)
• Use a consistent method of displaying errors (either all with Display or all with Debug)

Other known issues

• The Bluetooth module frequently triggers panics, though these are caught by GTK. This should be resolved after the module is refactored.
• Errors from the mpris module due to players disappearing. Those are not severe in any way, but I might refactor the mpris module to fix them at some point.
