More configuration options?

It's a really nice waybar module, the only crypto ticker for now, thanks a lot! The only throwback noticed is that it can be really space-consuming, especially if configured for more cryptos. I was thinking it with the main format with only a crypto (e.g. btc) and for a second one, like eth, using the "format-alt" (or the tooltip for even more). But I think you have to create every time as many variables as there are crypto added for these customizations, right? Sorry, I don't know Python for now, can't contribute concretely. :(

Hi @hertz0022 , thanks for the feedback!

Agreed, it does take a lot of space up. Better utilising the format-alt option is definitely a good idea.

Honestly, this script is pretty hacky and rushed. I may find some time soon to clean it up and make it more extensible first. After that refactor, I will definitely consider adding "layers", so you can choose if the ticker goes on the main "layer" or the format-alt "layer".

Would that satisfy your request?

As a "fix" in the meantime, I can recommend looking into the Waybar Group Module. This should allow you to play with some form of dynamically hiding modules that are revealed on mouse hover.
