Should module styles be "reset/zeroed" when there's a style.css available?

I'm fighting the hyprland/workspaces module as it seem to bring a whole lot of styling from outside my control.

Help me understand what's going on here. This aforementioned module seem to have a bunch of border-radius, fade on hover type animation an such. None of it is specified by me — how can I reset all of it? It's messing with the total height of my bar and it's a mess to guess what I need to counteract in order to "reset" the various properties to find out what's building up the total height..

I realize this is not a support forum which is why the point of this issue is to ask the question: should modules default to any styling at all when there's a style.css present under $HOME/.config/waybar/? I'd suggest: yes, they should all default to a stylesheet where all available CSS properties have been zeroed { margin, padding, border, *-radius, et cetera... }: { 0, none }.

To my mind this would make life soooo much simpler — or maybe I just lack CSS-skills :P

Have a good one!

Short version: It's inherited from the GTK theme.

Long version: See FAQ, #60 and #2549

Also a reason why most waybar styles.css you can find start with

* {
   padding: 0px;
   margin: 0px;
   border: none;
}

To make sure that we start with a clean layout, but you'll probably still end up having to deal with custom adjustments at some point.

I mean even some elements from HTML come with some built-in CSS 😂

EDIT:

Above mentioned along with min-height: 0; did the trick!

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I've got those properties figured yet there's still more thiccness to specifically workspaces than I'd like there to be and it's probably some property I can set in order to combat this.
