Where Is the Taffybar Config File?

Taffybar keeps its bar layout in a Haskell config file under the config home on Linux. Path and rebuild pattern.

Last updated

Taffybar is configured in Haskell with one taffybar.hs file in the config home. Bar widgets, layout and styling hooks live there as code. There is no graphical settings screen.

That code design makes bars endlessly flexible and plain text portable. Copy the file and every panel matches. Compile errors after moving point to missing Haskell dependencies rather than paths.

Where Taffybar stores this, by platform

Linux
~/.config/taffybar/taffybar.hs

Bar layout and widgets as Haskell code in one file. Styling rides in a sibling CSS file. Recompile or restart the bar after copying.

Frequently asked questions

How do I move Taffybar settings?

Copy taffybar.hs to the same relative path on the new machine. Bar layout, widgets and styling travel with it. Recompile or restart the bar after the move so the new binary picks up the file.

Where do I configure widgets?

In the same taffybar.hs file with widget constructors and CSS hooks. Each widget block names its data source and refresh interval. Test changes by restarting the bar rather than the session.
