Perhaps on a seperate file which will be called from dwm and sway config using include?

Seems to relate to #351 - Handling phone-specific sway configuration

I put mine to the bottom via bar { position bottom } as I have the same on my laptop devices. That doesn't solve nothing as the round display corners strip some of the information when the on-screen keyboard is disabled.

With this configuration the notch and the display corners are an issue for the notifications, too.
The top-right part is hidden behind the round display corner, the top-left part hides behind the notch, you can't read anything.

Thus, SXMO indeed does need this issue to be resolved upstream.

I think this could be a part of the deviceprofiles. Check scripts/deviceprofiles from sxmo-utils

Notches are an annoying thing to deal with for whatever goes in their place:( With Firefox bars or whatever app you have open is not worth coding a gap for In the top bar with a device specific profile sounds like a clean solution:)

we could add a variable in deviceprofile, telling how many characters are hidden by the notch. e.g. NOTCH="9" would add 9 characters between battery and wifi symbol like this: sxmobar -a notch 35 ooooooooo

which would be written to sxmo_hook_statusbar.sh

That sounds like the easiest solution to me too. I do worry if sufficient space remains for all our icons then.

I'm pretty much sure we can configure a blank space in Sway. This avoid the problem, without being satisfying. Only the composer could handle this.

what has to be solved is; when for example running vlc player it adds a symbol on top right, which moves everything to the left and the inserted empty notch space should shrink by this amount.

we are still stuck on this. while the swaybar gaps only provide <amount>|<horizontal> <vertical>|<top> <right> <bottom> <left> there is no solution from the compositor so far. https://man.archlinux.org/man/sway-bar.5

as mentioned above we could add sensless symbols like sxmobar -a notch 22 <-NOTCH-> and disable the tray icons also in ~/.config/sxmo/sway => Status Bar: section and just below position top add tray_output none

Its a hack, but at least the stuff is visible.

I agree it's better to have a hack than nothing at all. I submitted a simple patch in line with the above: https://lists.sr.ht/~mil/sxmo-devel/patches/51596
