dotfiles-2.0 VS eww

I'm using arch linux. I'm using xmonad, basically followed this. I think I was coding a display manager then I restared and it didn't poweroff. It was stuck, looked like it was frozen so I figured I would just hold the power button and hope nothing breaks.. well something broke.

This set of dotfiles has support for workspace displaying of xmonads workspaces in eww https://github.com/Axarva/dotfiles-2.0

Yeah it's axarva's config https://github.com/Axarva/dotfiles-2.0

I'm using arch for the first time. I'm using xmonad and I'm enjoying it:) Most of what I do is use the browser and emacs. I used this config https://github.com/Axarva/dotfiles-2.0 there is a nice video walking you through it in the github as well.

When I installed my window manager i installed a customized one from github, specifically this one https://github.com/Axarva/dotfiles-2.0

A tried to install https://github.com/Axarva/dotfiles-2.0 to answer my confusion about eww because I wanted to use it on bspwm

i am trying to install this: https://github.com/Axarva/dotfiles-2.0 but i fixed the issue by uninstalling the acpilight

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.

Reported and closed upstream: https://github.com/elkowar/eww/issues/712

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!

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.

Well actually there is https://elkowar.github.io/eww. I used it to make my config and also looked at other configs.

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.

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.

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.

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
