[BUG] Eww uses monitor model instead of a serial about eww HOT 5 OPEN

Having the same issue, after suspend/resume or reboot eww sees the monitor order differently which puts my bars in the wrong location. wayland-info and hyprctl monitors always shows the correct info, order is not changed there.

I have tried using the JSON monitor matcher but specifying DP-1/2/3 doesn't seem to do anything, only matching the monitor model is working but as I have 3 screens and 2 are of the same model this is a problem.

Making matching possible on display port, e.g. DP-1/2/3 would be a nice solution and I guess according to the docs this should be working so this probably is a bug?

Yea, I've noticed the issue that monitor specifications on wayland are kind of annoyingly meaningless. I haven't yet figured out how to get any more specific info through GTK, though -- if anyone has any ideas or would be willing to tackle an implementation of a fix for this, I'd love that!
GTK doesn't give me all that much info about the underlying wayland monitor, and I'm unsure how much details I can get about the monitor in a standardized way on wayland either way :/

I'm not that experienced with the wayland protocol and gtk, but it seems that migrating to gtk4 would atleast allow to get the monitor information in an easy fashion.
Would it be feasible to migrate? Is a migration even wanted?
If so, I'd could try to implement the migration, but someone with more experience should most definitely look at it thoroughly and it would most likely not be backwards compatible to the gtk3 based config.

There is some discussion and a proposed fix for another bar here:

Aylur/ags#363

Maybe this could help you? If I can do anything to debug this, let me know.

should be fixed by 510b824, we use the deprecated api directly now :D
