Hello, I have installed this rice from a fresh minimal arch install via the install script. I followed all the steps from the readme, but several things are not working yet.
Even after looking at several issues, with the top bar, I couldn't resolve my issue of not seeing it at all. The System menu showcased in your youtube viedeo like this:

Does not show up (how is it started/configured?)
trying to send a dummy notification just gives me this error:
notify-send "message" "more message"
-> GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name is not activatable

The Screenshot tool acts really weird with 2 monitors, it . Is this known? Do I need to edit a config file for this? Here are my monitors if they are causing the issue.
monitor=DP-1, 2560x1440@165,1920x-200,1
monitor = HDMI-A-1, 1920x1080@144, 0x0, 1

The player works great for web play, but on native spotify the album cover doesn't update at all. Also is it supposed to start automatically, because I only got it working after launching it manually with ags.

Not sure if this has something to do with anything named above, but cava doesn't actually show the sounds currently played and only shows something that seems to be a placeholder.

This project is amazing and I would love to get it to work. Is there a Discord server for issues and discussions about this?

Anyway, thanks in advance. I am somewhat new to linux and especially ricing, so I hope this issue isn't too stupid, but after taking a look at some of these issues, I believe, the standart isn't too high for questions.
