Wifi menu dosent render with the correct width and height

[mooncoffee1]

it has a weird form in the left corner of the screen and with wrong width and height

the wofi theme its not the problem ig, i tried without the style.css

[fearlessgeekmedia]

I'm not sure what might be going on. Which Wayland compositor are you using? I haven't even done anything with wifi4wofi in a bit since I don't even use it myself anymore (part of the reason I haven't done any work on it lately) but I can definitely investigate a bit more.

[mooncoffee1]

im using sway, but on hyprland it was the same, idk whats the problem

[fearlessgeekmedia]

OK. I will take a look at it.

[fearlessgeekmedia]

OK, I'm at a little bit of a loss here. I didn't think I'd need to ask, but which Linux distribution are you running?

Since it's happening for you in both Sway and Hyprland, I don't think I'll need those versions but give those to me just in case, too.

I'm here on Hyprland on NixOS Unstable Branch and it's working fine for me.

Which Wofi theme is that, too? Just so I can replicate what you've got on my system.

[mooncoffee1]

im on arch linux, on sway-1:1.8.1-1 version, and the wofi theme its catpuccin theme from catppuccin's official github

[fearlessgeekmedia]

OK, thanks! I'm on it!

[mooncoffee1]

thank you!

[fearlessgeekmedia]

Just to be sure, what does your ~/.config/wofi/wifi look like? I don't think that's the problem, but I just want to be sure.

[mooncoffee1]

Config for wofi-wifi-menu

position values:

1 2 3

8 0 4

7 6 5

POSITION=3

#y-offset
YOFF=10

#x-offset
XOFF=-65

#fields to be displayed
FIELDS=SSID,IN-USE,BARS,SECURITY

[fearlessgeekmedia]

OK, thanks. Just tested it out and that doesn't seem to be the problem. I will keep investigating.

[fearlessgeekmedia]

Where did you get the catpuccin theme for wofi, btw? Becasue I cannot find it on the catpuccin github.

[mooncoffee1]

its this one https://github.com/armanslce/wofi/tree/main/src/mocha/flamingo

[fearlessgeekmedia]

Awesome! Thank you!

[mooncoffee1]

this is smth that appears when i run the script, if it helps,
(wofi:40981): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 19:34:55.470: gtk_widget_set_size_request: assertion 'height >= -1' failed

[fearlessgeekmedia]

That happened with the original script I forked it from too. Not the problem , in this case, though.

So I installed the catpuccin theme. My YOFF=17 and XOFF=0. XOFF=-65 put it partially off of the screen for me.

But that's not what is happening for you. Your window size is just not quite right. I just did a temporary work around where it forces the height to 500px. I will need to work on the script further to make this more customizable. I'll have this pushed in a bit.

[fearlessgeekmedia]

OK, pull the latest and let me know if it fixes the issue for you.

[mooncoffee1]

strange, the same thing

maybe i dont have a package installed, or smth, idk whats the problem

[fearlessgeekmedia]

I'm not sure. It seems to me that there might be something in some configuration keeping it from being 500px but I'm not sure what it would be.

Do you have something that's common in both the Sway and Hyprland configurations that might possibly be effecting it? Just a guess.

[fearlessgeekmedia]

Actually I'm finding the height setting I'm putting in seems to have no effect on my system too. Investigating further.

[fearlessgeekmedia]

So it seems there's something going on your system's configuration (probably something with the compositor configs themselves, both Sway and Hyprland) and I don't have that going on here, so I can't really replicate the issue.

So until I know more, I won't be able to fix this specific issue. Perhaps someone else might know what's going on with it.

I did fork the script and worked on it initially while on Arch Linux, and I don't think the distribution is the issue, even though I'm not on Arch anymore.

[mooncoffee1]

got back to hyprland still the same, but any other wofi menus working perfectly, like wofi drun, wofi emoji, and wofi calculator, idk why this menu isnt working properly ;(
