Classic (full-length) waybar with elements in gnome-ish style.
Currently using Hyprpanel on my PC, because it “just works“ (at least as soon as you have all dependencies installed), and waybar on laptop. But I will probably switch to Quickshell once (or if) I have time for the whole process of “figure out how structure works“ → “figure out what I want“ → “figure out how styling works“ → “actually write bar“ → “why no worky :(“.

I found this recently and it’s great, it was plug and play for me. https://hyprpanel.com/
I used to use quickshell, now I use the waybar environment and the default configuration that comes with the HyDE environment works fine 
Of course, even if there were some problems, I fixed that part myself.
I use Quickshell. I have very low QML knowledge so i can only make very little widgets only by myself.
I use a rice with extremely unhinged code (it sends ai’s like 2 galaxies away or 22 quintillion sm64 pu’s away if u paste the total code with unhinged part) called hypryoshi3 (do NOT check the code comments and console.logs and commits pls i beg u 
)
edit: the forum has a md bug where if u do []() as md (or change style of text) it REPEATS if u do dat in plaintext??? if u wanna use markdown do not write md in plaintext or it will just repeat but the md textbox will not show that it repeated!!! if u wanna use md dont use the plaintext style
but plan on waiting my own in quickshell soon

I only have a problem with that my css knowledge is very basic and I develop a bit of not want to use, but is the more easy way
I’m using Dank Material shell, and I’m fine but that desire of doing something by myself, but it’s a bit difficult because I also use matugen for thematization. Dank material shell also has good templates and its system to terminal templates, so it’s more difficult for me to exit if it’s needed. I think I could begin to copy the good things and have independently to build something. I have the conflict of wanting to do something by myself and having something pre-done at least the advantage of Noctalia or Dank Material shell is that are isolated in certain sense and it doesn’t create problems with your own configurations.
just a simple waybar, it used to contain much more information but i feel like it just add clutter without much benefit so i remove most of it
Same, used to have a lot of widgets. Now just a simple bar to have one for the tray. Keybind to hide it too.
This is so well put together. It’s amazing.
yessss i have basically my entire OS built out in quickshell right now quickshell + arch bread and butter
I highly recommend quickshell you can build out all sorts of incredible stuff in it. My bars change per workspace (6 different color themes based off of the color palette of the wallpaper I chose for the 6 different workspaces). The code on the left flows and the squares/characters are animated as well quickshell loads the new color theme automatically upon workspace swaps. Then I have a pacman themed power menu in the top left, a claude icon that rolls through motivational quotes and triggers a special workspace dropdown for that workspace’s specific AI agent I configured. The wifi and bluetooth panels drop down and are fully functional as well. There is a spotify player at the top center then my top right is a syspanel bar that looks sick! The powermenu is my favorite i took some pacman ghost pngs with different eye directions and color coded them per workspace. The little claude icon chases the ghost around the power box and cycles through a list of phrases I gave it.
Nothing much just some default waybar
