As with the battery icons request, please can you expand on what's being requested? It looks like this is expected to work differently to that request and I need more detail.

Yeah, it's a little different from that request.

Basically, I want to have different icons for different devices, as well as one for when that device is muted,

I hope that clarifies things.

when there's multiple (like in the default) next to eachother it divides it between upper and lower bounds like the battery icon.

https://github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar/pull/1349 I think this fixes it, aside from the icon being per-device? @JakeStanger should this be closed?

I'm not sure if this is the right issue for this or if it'd be better as a separate issue - but coming from waybar I was able to set a different format when my sink was a bluetooth device, I routinely used this to see not only if my bluetooth device had connected, but if it has connected correctly and become my output device by showing essentially {icon}BT {percentage}% as my format.

I'm not sure if this could be implemented using profiles as they're implemented today, basically what format-bluetooth in the screenshot by @Kommynct is

That's not currently possible, which is why I've left this issue open
