I am on Ubuntu 23.10, x64 machine, everything up to date and using Wayland.

I am enjoying waybar a lot and playing with configuration I managed to obtain two different bars, one on the top and one on the bottom.

Problem is: the top one eludes windows (i.e. maximizing a window does not cover it) while the bottom one does not (i.e. maximizing a window covers it completely).

My waybar config is the following:


[
  {
    // Basic infos
    "name": "header",
    "layer": "top",
    // Disposition
    "modules-left": [
      "custom/launcher",
      "cpu",
      "memory",
      "custom/media",
      "network"
    ],
    "modules-center": [
      "tray"
    ],
    "modules-right": [
      "backlight",
      "pulseaudio",
      "clock",
      "battery"
    ],
    // Built-in modules
    "pulseaudio": {
      "tooltip": false,
      "scroll-step": 5,
      "format": "{icon} {volume}%",
      "format-muted": "{icon} {volume}%",

        ]
      }
    },
    "network": {
      "tooltip": false,
      "format-wifi": "  {essid}",

      "on-click": "/usr/bin/plasmawindowed org.kde.plasma.calendar"
    },
    "cpu": {

    ],
    "modules-center": [],
    "modules-right": [

    ],
    // Custom modules
    "custom/bandtui": {
      "format": "",
      "on-click": "konsole -e 'sudo bandwhich'"
    },

      "on-click": "konsole -e s-tui"
    },
    "custom/tuipt": {
      "format": "",
      "on-click": "konsole -e tptable"
    },
    "custom/tuitext": {
      "format": "",
      "on-click": "konsole -e lvim"
    },
    // Integrated modules
    "bluetooth": {
      "on-click": "plasma-open-settings kcm_bluetooth"
    },
    "disk": {
      "format": "{path}   {percentage_used}%",
      "on-click": "pcmanfm-qt"
    }
    // Modules below this line are not yet added and should be considered WIP
  }
]

What am I missing? I also tried adding "exclusive" and "layer" options, without any result

I tried googling and editing that file with both "exclusive" and "layer". I would like the bottom bar to be also able to elude windows.

I did some testing with using two Waybars, and I believe you also need to insert "layer": top into the section of your configuration pertaining to the bottom bar, not just the top. Currently, it assumes you aren't passing the "layer" option to the second bar.
