Line

This preset is the straightforward full-width Kwybars setup. It is a good default if you want something easy to understand, easy to tweak, and close to the standard overlay style.

monitor_mode = "primary"
layer = "background"
position = "bottom"
full_length = true
height = 480
anchor_margin = 20
margin_left = 20
margin_right = 20

[visualizer]
layout = "line"
line_mode = "continuous"
bars = 44
bar_width = 20
gap = 14
framerate = 60
bar_corner_radius = 18
color_mode = "gradient"

Good Starting Tweaks

increase height for taller bars
set layer = "top" if you want the visualizer above more desktop content
switch line_mode to split and add line_split_gap for a centered split layout
swap the colors or use theme = "tokyo-night" if you want a faster themed setup
