NAME
       waybar-styles - using stylesheets for waybar

DESCRIPTION
       Waybar uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to configure its appearance.

       It uses the first file found in this search order:

       o   $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/waybar/style.css
       o   ~/.config/waybar/style.css
       o   ~/waybar/style.css
       o   /etc/xdg/waybar/style.css
       o   /etc/xdg/waybar/style.css

EXAMPLE
       An example user-controlled stylesheet that just changes the color of
       the clock to be green on black, while keeping the rest of the system
       config the same would be:

           @import url("file:///etc/xdg/waybar/style.css")

           #clock {
             background: #000000;
             color: #00ff00;
           }

   Hover-effect
       You can apply special styling to any module for when the cursor hovers
       it.

           #clock:hover {
             background-color: #ffffff;
           }

   Setting cursor style
       Most, if not all, module types support setting the `cursor` option.
       This is configured in your `config.jsonc`. If set to `false`, when
       hovering the module a "pointer"(as commonly known from web CSS styling
       `cursor: pointer`) style cursor will not be shown. Default behavior is
       to indicate an interaction event is available.

       There are more cursor types to choose from by setting the `cursor`
       option to a number, see Gdk3 official docs for all possible cursor
       types: https://docs.gtk.org/gdk3/enum.CursorType.html. However, note
       that not all cursor options listed may be available on your system. If
       you attempt to use a cursor which is not available, the application
       will crash.

       Example of disabling pointer(`Gdk::Hand2`) cursor type on a custom
       module:

           "custom/my-custom-module": {
               ...
               "cursor": false,
           }

       Example of setting cursor type to `Gdk::Boat`(according to
       https://docs.gtk.org/gdk3/enum.CursorType.html#boat):

           "custom/my-custom-module": {
               ...
               "cursor": 8,
           }
