I only want a handful of "apps" with windows I open. But I also want a little wifi thing in the corner I can click on. I want a spotify thingy in the topbar with the current song title and a pause button. When I hit the volume up button on my keyboard I want a little thingy to pop up to graphically display how the level is changing. And so on ad infinitum. Oh an I also don't want to configure the custom optimimal indicator for each case.

I tried a few stripped down options but it turned out a full GNOME environment that I barely use works best.

This is all trivially easy to setup in any environment.
It's all solvable, but it isn't trivial (for me). Every little thing requires a bunch of googling, evaluating, and setup. For example, I'd have to decide what kind of network picker I prefer, which isn't a choice I ever want to have to make: https://www.reddit.com/r/swaywm/comments/ck66cz/question_how...
