I’m using the default EnOs swaywm configuration, dotfiles.
My question is regarding the Idle Indicator on the bar. In it’s default state (e.g., at login), it is deactivated. I would like to change that default state to activated.
I can’t seem to find the corresponding configuration file/line defining that behavior. I’m sure I’m just overlooking it, but I’d appreciate any guidance/ direction to point me to it.
As always, thanks in advance,
Barry
In your /etc/sway/config file is the following:
### Idle configuration
#
# Example configuration:
#
# exec swayidle -w \
# timeout 300 'swaylock -f -c 000000' \
# timeout 600 'swaymsg "output * power off"' resume 'swaymsg "output * power on"' \
# before-sleep 'swaylock -f -c 000000'
#
# This will lock your screen after 300 seconds of inactivity, then turn off
# your displays after another 300 seconds, and turn your screens back on when
# resumed. It will also lock your screen before your computer goes to sleep.
Is this what you are asking about? If so, you can uncomment about 4 lines and it SHOULD? work.

Add the start-activated parameter to the module block in your Waybar config and set it to true.
"start-activated": "true"
It’s not in there by default, you’ll have to add it in. As for where to find it, a list of all possible config options for each module can be found on the corresponding page in the Waybar wiki.
For example:
Glad you could help him out, as I probably sent @bkaplan on a snipe hunt.

Thanks, @BluishHumility and @Pudge for your responses!
With one modification, and with great appreciation, the answer given by @BluishHumility is the solution. The modification (at least in my configuration) is that the boolean should not be enclosed within quotes. That is:
"start-activated": true
appears to be the correct entry.
Marking solved. Love this Community!
