    1. Stop wlogout from starting up multiple timesOpen

      So far this program is really great. My one gripe is that I can start it as many times as I want. I bound the start command to a key and it can just keep going. While I mitigated it by making pgrep check for it first, this should be the default behavior for this application.

    2. Maybe add some documentation?Open

      The manual has absolutely nothing relevant in it. Everything needs to be done via trial and error.

    5. [Feature Request] Spawn DirectionOpen

      While Hyprland opens the window from the center, the buttons fly into the center from the bottom-right corner. It would look much better if the buttons also spawned from the center. I'm not sure if I'm overlooking some CSS or if I missed the option for this, but would it be…

    6. Arm Processor SupportOpen

      When I use yay to install this on Arch Linux Arm image (using Armboot), I get a warning that says the package is not supported for my architecture. Can I still use it? I pressed "Install anyway". Will it cause any issues? Thanks in advance.

    7. action `hyprshutdown --post-cmd 'systemctl reboot'` doesn't rebootOpen

      My layout config: After I clicked the reboot button, it returned to SDDM. Expect to reboot. Running hyprshutdown --post-cmd 'systemctl reboot' in a terminal triggers rebooting, which is the expected behavior.

    8. wlogout creates a blank secondary fullscreen window that blocks the screen (hyprland)Open

      I'm using hyprland and running wlogout creates two windows. One is the actual wlogout, the other is a fullscreen blocker that looks like it's designed to obscure the screen on use. The issue is that this second screen is on top. I have tried correcting this with window rules in…

    12. Red Bars Instead of IconsOpen

      Hi everyone. I've used wlogout before on a previous install and didn't have any issues. This time for some reason it's not showing the icons, it's just giving the red bars. The CSS and everything is literally just the default, the icons and stuff are all in the correct files. I…
