when I configure "hyprland/workspaces" module, it doesn't render

I am making configuring my waybar, and when try to customize anything about "hyprland/workspaces" in CSS, it doesnt apply anything. My best guess is that it is something GTK related, but I have tried to launch using

GTK_THEME=Default waybar &

also with some other things. This doesnt happen with the clock element which i also have in there.
My config.jsonc:

{
    // "layer": "top", // Waybar at top layer
    // "position": "bottom", // Waybar position (top|bottom|left|right)
    "height": 30, // Waybar height (to be removed for auto height)
    // "width": 1280, // Waybar width
    "spacing": 4, // Gaps between modules (4px)
    // Choose the order of the modules
    "modules-left": [
        "hyprland/workspaces"
    ],
    "modules-center": [
        "clock"
    ],
    "modules-right": [
    ],

    "clock": {
        "format": "{:%H:%M}"
    }
}

My style.css

* {
    /* `otf-font-awesome` is required to be installed for icons */
    font-family: FontAwesome, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
    font-size: 18pt;
    margin-top: 2px;
    padding-left: 6px;
    padding-right: 6px;
    padding-top: 0px;
    padding-bottom: 0px;
    border-radius: 10px;
}
#waybar{
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
}
#clock{
    color: whitesmoke;
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.33);
}
#waybar #hyprland-workspaces,
#waybar #hyprland-workspaces button,
#waybar #hyprland-workspaces button.active,
#waybar #hyprland-workspaces button.urgent,
#waybar #hyprland-workspaces button:hover {
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.33);
    color: aqua;
}

This is a re-post from a different section of the arch forums

Please don't repost, you can request moving the old post with the report button bottom right.
It doesn't make sense to have two threads for the same issue, one will always be inferior to the other.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky
