Install

git clone https://github.com/Harsh-bin/waybar-config.git
cd waybar-config
chmod +x ./install.sh
./install.sh

This is important: configuration relies on the Foot terminal,

      "custom/countdown":
      {
          "exec": "~/.config/waybar/scripts/countdown/countdown.sh",
          "return-type": "json",
          "format": "{}",
          "interval": 3600,
          "on-click-right": "foot bash ~/.config/waybar/scripts/countdown/countdown.sh interactive", # change this to your preferred terminal
          "on-scroll-up": "~/.config/waybar/scripts/countdown/countdown.sh scroll-up",
          "on-scroll-down": "~/.config/waybar/scripts/countdown/countdown.sh scroll-down"
      },

and also the todo.sh script used by the custom/todo module. you must either install it or update configuration and a single line in todo.sh to use a different terminal emulator.

Tweaking the config.json to your need

Example: Change the browser used by the custom/chrome module

• Open the file config.jsonc and edit custom/chrome

"custom/chrome":
{
	"format": "",
	"tooltip": true,
	"tooltip-format": "Browser",
	"on-click": "google-chrome-stable",
	"on-click-right": "chromium",
	"on-click-middle": "brave"
}

• Edit the on-click, on-click-right, or on-click-middle commands to your preferred browsers. For example, to make left-click open firefox, right-click open brave, and middle-click google-chrome change it to:

"custom/chrome":
{
	"format": "",
	"tooltip": true,
	"tooltip-format": "Browser",
	"on-click": "firefox",
	"on-click-right": "brave",
	"on-click-middle": "google-chrome-stable"
}

Apply the same edit pattern to other custom/* modules.
