Waybar is a highly customizable Wayland bar for Sway and Wlroots based compositors. Its configuration is done in JSONC with styling in CSS.

Install the waybar package.

For the icons of the preconfigured modules a font like otf-font-awesome is needed. Some standard modules need further programs to function properly. Those are visible through error messages from those modules.

There are some good explanations in the Waybar Wiki.
