`widget_defaults` settings get ignored.

The issue:

Hello, I wanted to set the font and the fontsize as a default for all widgets via widget_defaults, but it didn’t work. I expected it to work, because if I set the font in the widget itself it works, see the screenshot.

Version: 0.21.0

Config:

# statusbar config
from libqtile.config import Screen
from libqtile import bar, widget, qtile
import os, subprocess

# defaults
widget_defaults = dict(
  font="Ubuntu Mono Nerd Font",
  fontsize=18,
)

extension_defaults = widget_defaults.copy()

screens = [Screen(
  top = bar.Bar([
    widget.GroupBox(
      highlight_method = "line",
      background = colors[0],
      highlight_color = colors[0],
      block_highlight_text_color = colors[5],
      active = colors[1],
      borderwidth = 0,
      padding_x = 18,
      disable_drag = True,
      hide_unused = True
    ),
    widget.CurrentLayout(
      font="Ubuntu Mono Nerd Font",
      fontsize=18,
    ),
  ],
    size = 40,
    background = colors[0]
  )
)]

Thanks

If they’re not visible in config.py they’re not going to work.

You can import them from another file if you don’t want to define them in config.

There were no changes. Setting in bar.py is fine.

Your problem was when you tried Wayland with this commit: https://github.com/cronyakatsuki/dots/commit/43b3ad223e242ea364c60487bce75b504f1f3f40

You changed this line:

from bar import screens, widget_defaults

to this:

from bar import screens

That’s what broke it.
