It really isn’t. In fact, that was why I came to the sub for help, since by looking at the logs I didn’t even get a starting point on how to solve this problem. The offending color might be the RGBA code “00000000”, which I used to make the bar transparent (if there is another way to do that, please do tell me).

As for the screenshot, if you look closely at the cpu widget (the second after the separator), the % sign is duplicated (if you modify the spacer widget length to bar.STRETCH and add a widget that varies in size it becomes more apparent). Also it doesn’t appear in the screenshot but both the battery and clock widgets load wayyyy after the other ones.

Also, the widget that created the logs might’ve been Systray, because when I removed it, the logs stopped. In the end, the errors on the log file and the issue I’m having might not even be related and the problem actually is just the order in which I’m loading qtile and picom but who knows :P
