there’s probably a lot to improve here, took forever to get this working, did not do a cleanup pass, jfc this took forever, replace tofi with your menu of choice, thought people should have this.
wishlist: change the icon based on volume level
I don’t like doing that because i’m working on nixos which already makes it complicated but i also have a script that fully sets up my entire system and that would add some complexity to that, plus i just have a strange aversion to making it a bash script purely because it would be the only common function in my setup that’s on a bash script
and it wouldn’t be that hard to convert it to one for future debugging anyway
I can see how that could be a hassle on nixos and if you don’t have more scripts
FWIW, I use chezmoi for stuff like this, I guess it might be easier to make it work with nixos by setting up chezmoi in HOME, instead of defining scripts directly
