Sway: Polybar?

[ghost]

This is not really an issue, but Polybar (sweetest thing ever) doesn't work with Wayland (I think). It shows up on top of other windows, and I'm not sure whether Sway could use polybar as the swaybar_command in the bar. How would I use them together?
If (!) it's not possible, is there any other bar I could use that incorparates some of the Polybar features (module-based output separation, individual module update times, underlines and overlines) that _does_ work with Sway?

This sort of thing is something I would like to support post-wlroots, but until then you're just going to have to sit tight.

i could get polybar work with this workaround [though not sure if its the right way]
sway config [bar portion]
#

Setting up polybar(s)

#
bar {
position top
i3bar_command i3bar -t
colors {
statusline #ffffff00
background #2c2b2a00
focused_workspace #b6a8a800 #3c3b3700 #b6a8a800
active_workspace #3c3b379900 #b6a8a800 #3c3b3700
inactive_workspace #3c3b3700 #99999900 #3c3b3700
urgent_workspace #90000000 #3c3b3700 #ffffff00
}
}

bar {
position bottom
i3bar_command i3bar -t
colors {
statusline #ffffff00
background #2c2b2a00
focused_workspace #b6a8a800 #3c3b3700 #b6a8a800
active_workspace #3c3b379900 #b6a8a800 #3c3b3700
inactive_workspace #3c3b3700 #99999900 #3c3b3700
urgent_workspace #90000000 #3c3b3700 #ffffff00
}
}

then in autostart programs i defined two bars [top and bottom]

now the issue is bar does not display workspaces, xbacklight and window title... ! any help ?

@rvc-2011 I don't think this is what OP meant by "polybar". See https://github.com/jaagr/polybar .

@codethief , you are correct. @rvc-2011 , I'm talking about https://github.com/jaagr/polybar.

@AravK , @codethief
perhaps this L I N K and this => S H O T
will show what you meant ? it is polybar(s) with workspaces displayed.

@rvc-2011 AFAIK Polybar can't split into pieces like in your link. Please don't tell me what I'm saying. Polybar is an application. The configuration in sway.conf is for swaybar, but that's not the same as polybar. What you're talking about is something different. Please show me some configuration for your "polybar" so I can tell you what I'm talking about.

Requesting thread lock. We should reopen this after wlroots, but I don't see any productive discussion coming out of it until then.
