Examples
An example user-controlled stylesheet that just changes the color of the clock to be green on black, while keeping the rest of the system config the same would be:
@import url("file:///etc/xdg/waybar/style.css")
#clock {
background: #000000;
color: #00ff00;
}
Hover-effect
You can apply special styling to any module for when the cursor hovers it.
#clock:hover {
background-color: #ffffff;
}
Setting cursor style
Most, if not all, module types support setting the `cursor` option. This is configured in your `config.jsonc`. If set to `false`, when hovering the module a "pointer"(as commonly known from web CSS styling `cursor: pointer`) style cursor will not be shown. Default behavior is to indicate an interaction event is available.
There are more cursor types to choose from by setting the `cursor` option to a number, see Gdk3 official docs for all possible cursor types: https://docs.gtk.org/gdk3/enum.CursorType.html. However, note that not all cursor options listed may be available on your system. If you attempt to use a cursor which is not available, the application will crash.
Example of disabling pointer(`Gdk::Hand2`) cursor type on a custom module:
"custom/my-custom-module": {
...
"cursor": false,
}
Example of setting cursor type to `Gdk::Boat`(according to https://docs.gtk.org/gdk3/enum.CursorType.html#boat):
"custom/my-custom-module": {
...
"cursor": 8,
}
