[Bug]: Waybar not working on fresh install

[jakobens]

Description

Waybar doesnt work any theme except Graphite Mono on a fresh install. Having the same problem as the guy in this thread #1174 but still cant seem to fix it.

Switching from Graphite Mono to any other theme results in a broken and practically unusable waybar.

try nuking ~/.config/waybar then reinstall HyDE

have this broken waybar when switching from another theme. this doesn't hapen if i switch from a non working theme to the other. still the same error when running waybar on, for example, decay green.

weird thing is that i can see working but maybe not intended version of the waybar right before this broken one appears. couldn't screenshot it because its a split second.

try to change the theme or just ./install.sh -r

already did the reinstall but just did it again, still the same. i installed another theme (Peace of Mind) and waybar still gives the same exact error.
