nwggrid does not stick to consistent icon theme about nwg-launchers HOT 4 CLOSED

However, I observe different behaviour when I launch nwggrid using my custom keybind (ALT_L+R) and when I activate it via a custom waybar module. Both execute the same command pkill nwggrid || nwggrid (so I can toggle nwggrid on and off), however only the waybar module will display with my icon theme.

I am barely familiar with the NixOS, unfortunately. The described behaviour is likely to be caused by GTK_THEME having different values. You could check it by prepending env > /tmp/env.txt || to your keybind command and then grepping specified file for GTK_THEME.

On a side note: you may want to spawn nwggrid-server at startup and then issue nwggrid -client to display grid window -- it's much faster than spawning a new instance each time. This would not let you use your keybind to close the window, but you could use Esc. I can implement closing the window by nwggrid -client, if it is important for you.

Feel free to try #213, it does exactly that.

The problem turned out to be that waybar would set the GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE variable in its environment, but this was not set in the environment of Hyprland. I have since made sure that my Hyprland also has this variable so that icons are consistent.

With the topic of the being able to toggle nwggrid -client on and off from one keybind, I will look into #213. For now, as my icon issue is solved, I am closing this issue.
