    Interesting having no bar! I’ve got a question, how do you keep track of the time, keyboard layout (I use three), volume, workspace, and currently playing song? That’s what I use my bar for, but if I can replace it with other methods, then I might go bar-less too

      Time/date was the primary problem for me without a bar. I agree that keyboard layout would be useful to have visible at all times, I use only one however so it wasnt a problem. Other stuff I dont really need to see all the time IMO. I had a shortcut set to pop up a centered notification with time/date but that was a bit clunky to use in practice. Would be interesting to hear from barless people how they solve this.

        Ah ok. I remember I made a shortcut for time and date too when I tried going barless but I had the same experience as you, it was clunky.

    No bar, interesting! I also had no bar for a while, noticed I use the bar basically only for checking time. Most of the other usual bar info is pretty useless. How is your experience?
