Sway productivity tips
I've been content with my sway configs (dpgraham4401/.dotfiles) for about 2 years, but maybe it's time to see what else is out there. I'm looking for tips/programs/widgets/anything that you've added to your sway setup that you use all the time and has either made your setup more productive or more enjoyable. open floor, links to configs welcome.

How to accept text input in swaynag?
Not the best example but If you look at my waybar configs, at the very bottom, there's a Waybar power button that uses swaynag. You can substitute those flags (number of buttons, text, colors) for variables.

Icons for waybar
If using font-awesome as an icon, I don't believe you can make the icon bigger without making the text bigger. https://github.com/dpgraham4401/dotfiles-sway/tree/master/.config/waybar

Widgets: which are the alternatives?
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
Reported and closed upstream: https://github.com/elkowar/eww/issues/712

How do I autostart Eww bar inside the hyprland.conf file?
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
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 :(
Well actually there is https://elkowar.github.io/eww. I used it to make my config and also looked at other configs.

changing profiles
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)?
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.
