Additional context

I found this issue from the Waybar repo. Mentions needing the ttf-meslo-nerd and ttf-font-awesome packs, but those are already installed. I ended up just pasting in the 🔆 icon and commenting out all of the "moon" icons in ~/.config/waybar/modules.json

Thanks for your feedback. I will check.

With the launch of swaync and the control center which includes the brightness control, I decided, as far as I can remember ;-), to remove the brightness module from waybar. Would the swaync slider work for you too?

[centifanto]

got it, no worries :) It would be nice to still see the brightness level indicator in the waybar if possible. If not, would you mind pointing me to where you defined it and I could try and pull it into my own custom config before you officially remove it?

EDIT: by define, I just assume that there is some other location that defines the actual utility that does the brightness actions as there is no script or app being called in the config or modules.json that I can see

thank you for the reply!
