  • eww bar with dwm

    I've never used eww, but I've seen some of the configurations (not in dwm) which use shell commands like wmctrl to change workspaces and such. I believe you could accomplish most of the things you need with dwm-ipc, which has a command-line utility called dwm-msg.

    If you want to use an external bar with dwm, you should take a look at dwm-ipc. That patch lets you receive tag information which you can pipe into lemonbar.

    If you want to set eww as your main bar you should probably check out the anybar patch. You'll definitely need to tweak your source code a little bit for gaps and other issues, but it's not that difficult.
