⚙️ Troubleshooting

1. Polybar modules not working? : Try changing variables (For example in battery module from BAT1 to BAT0).
2. Screen flashing black : Try changing picom config.
3. Scripts not working : Maybe try to edit shebang.
4. MPD not working : Check if any other program is using port 6600 (http://127.0.0.1:6600/).
