Alexays/Waybar ? reverse-engineered prompt

Reverse engineered prompt

Build me a customizable status bar for Wayland desktops that works well with Sway and other wlroots based compositors.

I want it to show the usual things people expect in a desktop bar, like workspaces, focused window info, clock, system tray, audio, network, battery, memory, CPU, and a few other small widgets, with support for custom scripts too. It should come with a sensible default config and stylesheet, but make it easy for someone to copy the files into their home config folder and tweak the look and modules without digging through the code.

Please make it feel polished and practical, with good styling support, clear module settings, and clean docs for setup and customization. If you need to check current Wayland or GTK docs while wiring things up, go ahead and look them up online.

Are you gonna build this?
