Preset Configs
Particle
A dot-based preset for a lighter, pulsating visualizer style.
This preset switches Kwybars into particle mode for a softer, more ambient effect than standard bars. It uses the normal edge overlay geometry, so overlay.position = "bottom" renders along the bottom edge, top along the top edge, and left/right along vertical edges.

- increase
barsfor a denser particle field - move to
layer = "top"if the effect disappears into your wallpaper - use a theme with softer colors for a calmer ambient look
