privacy

Shows when your microphone, camera, or screen is being captured, based on PipeWire stream links. Each input type has its own icon that switches between an “off” glyph (idle) and an active glyph (in use). Hovering the widget lists the applications currently using each device.

Setting	Type	Default	Description
hide_inactive	bool	false	Hide idle icons, and hide the whole widget when nothing is being captured
icon_spacing	number	4	Spacing between the indicator icons in pixels (0–48)
active_color	string	"primary"	Color role (or fixed hex) for an icon while that device is in use
inactive_color	string	"outline"	Color role (or fixed hex) for an idle icon (when hide_inactive is off)

Global microphone, camera, and screen-share filters live under [shell.privacy].
