Modules that don't produce any output are hidden by the controller
(don't have margins or separators).
The tray module should also do that for `format = <tray>` when there are
no icons.
This required the visibility handling to be tied to the module
visibility instead of being handled by the renderer.
Otherwise, the renderer would hide the tray (because the %{Pt} tag was
never sent) and the tray would not unhide when new icons appeared; it
can't differentiate between hidden because empty and hidden because the
module is hidden by the user (the latter is the reason the renderer does
hiding at all).
Fixes#3036
By default, we group workspaces by monitor with the help of
_NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT. However, some users may experience this as an
unpredictable "shuffling" of workspaces. While WMs could disable
advertising the property itself, it seems more sensible to handle this
at the level of polybar. Hence, introduce a new group-by-monitor
flag—defaulting to true—which can be used to disable this behaviour.

The `backlight` file seems to not receive modification events for
inotify (it does receive other events though).
These other events still trigger an update, but the value read is still
the old value because the events arrive just slightly before the file is
updated.
The new `poll-interval` setting will inject an event every X seconds to
force an update.
If the actual_brightness file is used, the interval is set to 0 and thus
turned off.
This does not add any more wakeups to the module, the inotify modules
wake up every second anyway and during that time, the interval is
checked.
Fixes#2835
The ewmh strategy has to be dropped because the
`_NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK` window may (at least in bspwm) appear
anywhere in the window stack.
To fix the overlapping monitors issue in #2873, we simply restack
against the topmost of these root windows.
Fixes#2972Fixes#2873 (again)
When using `get_screen_resources`, XRandR will query the hardware to
detect any change. This takes some time.
`get_screen_resources_current` uses the cached information and is
pretty fast.
In my case, the information is always already present in cache because
it was set by the program that did configure the screens (autorandr in
my case, but this applies to most frontends). As polybar is not used
to configure stuff, I think this is fine. There should be something
configuring the screen before polybar is able to use it.
However, maybe some people are using `polybar --list-monitors` just
after plugging a screen. It won't display the new screen in this case.
So, maybe this is not a good idea. It makes polybar starts
faster (500ms faster in my case when there are 3 screens plugged).
Also, I did this change because running `polybar --list-monitor` in
parallel with starting `polybar` (in a for loop for example), I get
some curious bug where my screens disappear and reappear. I don't need
this change as this was easy to fix by avoiding the parallel access to
XRandR properties, but maybe this would avoid other people running
into the same problem.
Your take!
Positions the bar window above the _NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK window
The generic restacking strategy now first tries the ewmh strategy, the
the bottom strategy.
Prints the output and exit code of 'i3 --get-socketpath' if it fails and
prints the socket path if the connection fails.

The tray should be vertically centered in the inner area of the bar.
Unequal top and bottom borders should not affect the alignment relative
to other text.
Fixes#2950
tray-padding determines space added before and after each icon
tray-spacing determines space added between icons (but not at the edge)
Both are an extent value and accept both pixel and point values.
The size accepts a percentage with offset relative to the bar height and
determines the width and height of tray icons.
Defaults to 66%
Does not affect spacing
Currently, we don't support 32-bit visuals and don't set
_NET_SYSTEM_TRAY_VISUAL
It is unclear what happens if the default visual (which is used as a
fallback if _NET_SYSTEM_TRAY_VISUAL is not set) is 32-bit.
In that case, we may need to explicitly use a 24-bit visual.
Not doign this. Using the desired background as the X window background
color would require us to always first check before using the pixmap or
cairo context.
The module has a poll timeout because it needs to periodically check if
it is shutting down. Otherwise, it would be stuck polling and the bar
couldn't shut down until the script produces a new line.
However, this causes the bar to wake up intermittently (currently
~40/s) due to the 25ms timeout.
Bumping this to 250ms still gives us timely shut downs and caps the
number of wake ups to 4/s.
This is only a stop-gap solution, ideally the script runner is
integrated into the main event loop and uses its polling handles which
don't have to wake up to check for a shutdown.
