crylia-theme VS tos-desktop-environment

If you want a usable rice with most features, link is the best for you imo. It is written using pure awesome, well for the most part.

I'm running pop os and it's because it's a part of this https://github.com/Crylia/crylia-theme and i foolishly assumed that i just had everything to make it because i have used make on other things before not realizing the differences between them

AwesomeWM provides an api to render graphs, that i know for sure, also, AwesomeWM can definitely create application launcher bars. It's just that most posts you see on r/unixporn that show off AwesomeWM aren't indicative of how powerful its API is, for example - here's an entire DE written with AwesomeWM: https://github.com/ODEX-TOS/tos-desktop-environment/

The thing about awesomewm that is so interesting, for those of us that are neurotic enough to truly even want this (like me) is that with awesome and nothing else if you dare, you can code out the rest of what would make up your ideal DE on the GUI side of things. With enough time, even rofi can be replaced by home-rolled lua modules. Sure its a lot of work and a lot more looking through other repos but you can do it and all you will really need to add in are the terminal programs to hook into the output of and a GTK theme. Until I finish my work on this topic, Tom Meyer's TDE part of his TOS is an excellent example of exactly that, he really has made an entire DE with just lua code and some terminal applications. Its excellent work, opinionated in the extreme but that's kind of the point after all.
