Estoy intentando desarrollar un selector de panel, en el cual se puede elegir entre Tint2 y Polybar … no soy experto en desarrollo de software, solo me anime a intentar crear algo para esta hermosa distro, dejare el link del repositorio del proyecto, y quien quiera ayudarme, bienvenido sea,
PD: esta es mi primer participación en el foro, espero tengan paciencia, saludos
Welcome, @NitroSk8, to the forum!
It’s always great to see personal projects come to life. Keep on doing that…
Testing the script: What i found so far…
Selector de Paneles window after choosing either Tint2 or Polybar.Polybar Configuration window.To install mabox-panel-selector directly after building PKBUILD, use the following command:
makepkg -fi
Or…
Alternatively, add the following line to complete process:
sudo pacman -U mabox-panel-selector-0.1.0-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
I’m considering using Polybar alongside Tint2.
Since I’m not very familiar with Python, I decided to experiment with your idea using a Bash TUI instead.

tint2rc=$(cat "$HOME/.config/tint2/tint2-sessionfile")

# Check ~/.config/polybar/config.ini [bar/mybar] for the right value.
