The Cava GLSL frontend delegates the visualization of incoming audio data to the GPU via OpenGL.
|
|
|
|
There are some mandatory dependencies that need to be satisfied in order for Cava GLSL to be built and function properly:
|
|
1. epoxy library must be installed on the system
|
|
2. Vertex and fragment shaders from the original project must be used. They should be downloaded, and the file paths must be configured correctly in the Waybar Cava configuration:
|
|
1. [cava shaders](https://github.com/karlstav/cava/tree/master/output/shaders)
|
|
2. [libcava shaders](https://github.com/LukashonakV/cava/tree/master/output/shaders)
|
|
3. It is highly recommended to have a separate cava configuration for the Waybar Cava GLSL module and to use this as the `cava_config` in the Waybar configuration.
|
|
4. It is common for cava configurations to be placed in the `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` directory, including shaders as well. Consider keeping them in the `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/cava/shaders` folder.
|
|
|
|
Key configuration options:
|
|
1. `bars`. The more values the parameter has, the more interesting the visualization becomes.
|
|
2. `method` in output section must be set to `sdl_glsl`
|
|
3. `sdl_width` and `sdl_height` manage the size of the module. Adjust them according to your needs.
|
|
4. Shaders for sdl_glsl, located in $HOME/.config/cava/shaders. Example:
|
|
`vertex_shader = pass_through.vert
|
|
fragment_shader = spectrogram.frag`
|
|
5. Set `continuous_rendering` to 1 to enable smooth rendering; set it to 0 otherwise. It is recommended to keep it set to 1.
|
|
6. `background`, `foreground`, and `gradient_color_N` (where N is a number between 1 and 8) must be defined using hex code
