  • EWW – Linux Widget System allowing you to design custom desktop UI
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 31 Aug 2024
  • Widgets: which are the alternatives?
    2 projects | /r/awesomewm | 23 Nov 2023
    I'm trying to get the most out of my OS (Arch with X11 and Awesomewm), but I'm stuck with the widgets. I would like to create/use some utilities like an interactive calendar, small TODO list, dropdown menu, etc. but using the awesomewm widgets is too difficult and limiting. I found eww but it seems as difficult as the former widgets.
  • eww fails to compile
    1 project | /r/Gentoo | 15 Oct 2023
    Reported and closed upstream: https://github.com/elkowar/eww/issues/712
  • How do I autostart Eww bar inside the hyprland.conf file?
    1 project | /r/hyprland | 8 Sep 2023
    The reason, why eww would not start, is because i compiled it myself with rustup according to the official documentation (https://elkowar.github.io/eww/) and not by the AUR. After installing it with the AUR it workes in Hyprland. So in conclustion: If you wanna use Eww on Hyprland, use the AUR method and not the method on the Docs!
  • Sway/workspace by Eww
    1 project | /r/swaywm | 30 Jun 2023
    Are you as mystified as me? I'll save you the google search: eww is Elkowars Wacky Widgets a standalone widget system made in Rust that allows you to implement your own, custom widgets in any window manager.
  • Eww is hard :(
    1 project | /r/hyprland | 17 Jun 2023
    Well actually there is https://elkowar.github.io/eww. I used it to make my config and also looked at other configs.
  • changing profiles
    1 project | /r/hyprland | 11 Jun 2023
    I'm guessing one could use [eww](https://elkowar.github.io/eww/) to create buttons/widgets. And the buttons could dispatch commands to any of the wallpaper/theme changing applications to actually execute the change.
  • Get workspaces information (to integrate with Eww)?
    1 project | /r/xmonad | 9 Jun 2023
    I'd like to get informations from xmonad on all the currently active workspaces and which one is the current workspace. Possibly I'd like to format that information into a JSON object for better integration with Eww, which I'm using as a status bar.
  • How to get the groups in use via the Command-API
    1 project | /r/qtile | 2 Jun 2023
    Hi all, I'm trying to configure a bar with eww (https://github.com/elkowar/eww) and I' stuck getting the workspace widget to work.
  • calendar

    No, as far as I know. I personally use eww and toggle a calendar when clicking on a time widget. I'm using the config in this repo
