Conversation
Wrap the date module's time string in a %{A1} action tag pointing at a
new calendar.sh, which launches the Google Calendar PWA when a browser
has installed one and falls back to calendar.google.com otherwise. PWA
desktop entries are found by Name= rather than filename, since browsers
name them <browser>-<app-id>-<profile>.desktop.

Make the polybar date/time display clickable to open Google Calendar, with intelligent fallback to the web version.
Summary
Adds a new
calendar.shscript that intelligently launches Google Calendar, preferring the installed PWA (if available) over the web version. Wraps the polybar date display in a click action to invoke this script.Changes
New script:

The script uses
grep -listo search desktop entry files for the PWA by its display name rather than filename, since browsers install PWAs with non-deterministic filenames likechromium-<app-id>-<profile>.desktop. This makes the solution robust across different browser and profile configurations.https://claude.ai/code/session_01NSrjNbSF3Pt7SDZkoh6DiH
