Hey again, just wanted to let you know that the issue I have seems to
be related to scaling. If I set scale to 1 in sway config, it works as
expected. With other scaling factors (1.5x or 2x)  is very difficult
to unhide the launcher.

Regards Jens

It sounds like the deep work you are talking about may well address this issue too, and for now I think I will postpone the bar setup and revisit this some time in the future. I wish you all the time and energy to focus on any of the projects you wish to develop further :)

This narrows it down quite a bit, very helpful. Thanks!
