Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I am using pywal which sets a custom colorscheme based on currently applied wallpaper. I have "reload_style_on_change" : true, in my waybar's config.jsonc file. It reloads the bar automatically whenever I change it's looks in style.css file or any imported css file in style.css file.

But I don't see any option do it. If this feature is present please help me configure it.

It's really annoying to run swaync-client -rs everytime I change my wallpaper.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like the solution to be something like waybar's.

Research direction
Examine waybar's source code for its style reload mechanism, then identify the corresponding file watching and CSS reloading points in SwayNotificationCenter's source to implement a similar feature.
