[Feature Request]: Networkmanager-applet about hyprland-dots HOT 21 CLOSED

that was the answer to the other person. I added it to my setup, it works, but I just noticed an Issue, you can only add wifi networks manually in the connection editor, available networks are only shown when clicking on the system tray icon.
I'll have a look wether i can find a workaround or a better gui

from hyprland-dots.

Is not this what you are looking for?

from hyprland-dots.

yeah but there is now way to connect to a new wifi network this way, is there? I checked the modules file and there are no on-click events, so its only visual feedback right

from hyprland-dots.

You can hover over Available networks and it'll show you "the available" and not hidden networks.
To add a hidden network you can click "Connect to a hidden Wi-Fi network"

from hyprland-dots.

I have been trying to do but I couldnt figure out a standalone gui for network manager. If you have or if you know a project, pls let me know

from hyprland-dots.

The module available on most layout just shows that I am disconnected, hovering over the icon just shows the text disconnected. Clicking on it doesn't do anything. Is that different for you?

network": {
    "format": "{ifname}",
    "format-wifi": "{icon}",
    "format-ethernet": "󰌘",
    "format-disconnected": "󰌙", 
    "tooltip-format": "{ipaddr}  {bandwidthUpBytes}  {bandwidthDownBytes}",
    "format-linked": "󰈁 {ifname} (No IP)",
    "tooltip-format-wifi": "{essid} {icon} {signalStrength}%",
    "tooltip-format-ethernet": "{ifname} 󰌘",
    "tooltip-format-disconnected": "󰌙 Disconnected",
    "max-length": 50,
    "format-icons": ["󰤯","󰤟","󰤢","󰤥","󰤨"],
},

There is now way to interact with it thats why I proposed adding smth like this:
"on-click": "nm-connection-editor"

from hyprland-dots.

@JaKooLit idk how independent that is but I used nm-applet. Only annoying thing is that once you use it it stays in the tray, same as bluetooth

from hyprland-dots.

nm-connection-editor is part of nm-applet, the page where you can select the wifi etc

from hyprland-dots.

Im fully aware of that

a favor then, I am not on my system now, can you add this then and see if that is working?

rofi-network-manager:
https://github.com/P3rf/rofi-network-manager?tab=readme-ov-file#features

On Tumbleweed it was available as package, otherwise there is a script as well.
Does close with escape, not the hyprland keybind for closing windows. Has a different look too, but I'd say its definitly better than not having any gui.

Yes. Clicking on it brings up this menu.

Clicking on Edit Connections then brings up this.

from hyprland-dots.

interesting, that looks quite good. like the nm-applet menu in nicer. Could you have a look at ~/.config/waybar/configs
and share the "network" code? would be great :)

from hyprland-dots.

right there is no on click event, but clicking on it brings up the menu? Weird. Anyways, I am on NixOS with network manager enabled. And I do use a lot of other packages. Maybe that's related?

"network": {
    "format": "{ifname}",

    "format-ethernet": "󰌘",

    "tooltip-format-ethernet": "{ifname} 󰌘",
    "tooltip-format-disconnected": "󰌙 Disconnected",
    "max-length": 50,
    "format-icons": ["󰤯","󰤟","󰤢","󰤥","󰤨"]
},

from hyprland-dots.

hmm thats weird. maybe its not the network module but a different one? the name should be in the config as well. (this time actually in the config file and not the modules one i messed up the names lol)

from hyprland-dots.

It's the "tray" module. Can't find where it's defined though.

from hyprland-dots.

Ah that makes sense. Thats some networkmanager gui that gets started somewhere on ur system and then sits in the tray, this works for me as well. But i had to set it up manually. So would be great if there was a way to do it with the network module directly, eg with the rofi-network-manager.

from hyprland-dots.

Yes, then another network manager applet would be redundant, since both would show up in Waybar.

from hyprland-dots.

yes but then it should at least be installed and executed on startup, I didnt have any way to configure my wifi at first (on the cli ofc but I didnt know how to, that was kinda discouraging after installing)

from hyprland-dots.

Yes, installing additional system components is out of scope for this discussion. User should do it themselves.

network manager applet is set to be installed and added in startup. It should show in tray module

Previously, I have the impression that on the network waybar module, there is a gui in which, if you click it, the network-manager applet pop up would appear... I dont know if thats what you wanted... maybe it is possible, maybe its not. but I have not tried

from hyprland-dots.

Okay great, idk for some reason it didnt show up for me, whatever.
