Hi,

Waybar is a configurable status bar for wlroot based wayland composers.

This is a first pass to make a port of it. Many modules will not work
or not be full functionnal under OpenBSD, as I've not tried yet to
patch them to adapt to OpenBSD' network. battery or backlight status
code for example.

If anyone want to help...

A presentation of waybar features under Linux:

To enable waybar in sway use :

bar {
    swaybar_command waybar
}

in ~/.config/sway/config.
