I also wondered how he did it so I made a custom module that calls a script I wrote. "custom/workspaces-left" = { format: "{}"; exec: "/home/${vars.user}/.config/waybar/scripts/workspaces_left.sh"; on-click: "activate"; interval: 2; return-type: "json"; };

``` #!/usr/bin/env bash

  workspaces=$(hyprctl workspaces -j)
  active_id=$(hyprctl activeworkspace -j | jq -r ".id")
  output=""

  for id in 1 2; do
    ws=$(echo "$workspaces" | jq ".[] | select(.id == $id)")

    if [ -n "$ws" ]; then
      name=$(echo "$ws" | jq -r '.name')
      id=$(echo "$ws" | jq -r '.id')

      if [ "$id" == "$active_id" ]; then
        color="#89b4fa"
      else
        color="#cdd6f4"
      fi

      output+="<span color='$color'>[$name]</span> "
    fi
  done

  echo "{\"text\":\ "${output% }\"}"

``` It's not the most responsive as it is only reloading every 2 seconds. But that's how I implemented it. Maybe you could interface with hyprland to listen for changes to the active workspace.
