# This is a fork!

This is my fork of [Waybar](https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar). It has a few
changes with the biggest being that it works with my fork or river (the Wayland
compositor). In fact, it will probably **not** work with vanilla river.

## Getting started

```bash
git clone https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar
cd Waybar
meson setup build
ninja -C build
./build/waybar          # run without installing
```

Waybar launches with a sensible [default config](resources/config.jsonc). To make
it yours, copy the default config and stylesheet into `~/.config/waybar/` and edit
them. The [Configuration](https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/wiki/Configuration)
and [Styling](https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/wiki/Styling) guides cover every
option, and [Examples](https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/wiki/Examples) has
ready-to-use community setups.

## Installation
