Any Pop!_os Users? I built a an extension for Cosmic Desktop which shows you your current layer
Disclaimer: about 99% vibe coded. Make of that what you will.
This project flashes a custom tweak to your vial-based QMK keyboard which allows an applet to read and display the current layer. Cosmic Desktop only for now.
Maybe this helps you, maybe you take it as an inspiration to create your own display for your desktop environment.
