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.
-
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
- Does anyone know how to build this with EWW?This is an awesome wm rice, actually,but I can't figure out how to make it.Also,I want to build it with EWW in hyprland. Source:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dkpcEeKk0E&t=3

Is it just me or it nix becoming more common
https://github.com/elkowar/eww is another example
- Microsoft is to enable Rust use for Windows 11 kernel

Eww: Programmable Widgets for Linux
> The key difference: It is independent of your window manager!

Is Linux More Customizable Than Windows?
Note it's not even up to date so, for example, if you feel waybar isn't sufficiently blingy, you can swap it out for something like eww
-
How do I go about adding a login screen and power menu to my Hyprland setup?
For power menus and stuff like that, people generally use rofi (there's a fork for wayland), or eww, which is more recent. Waybar could also work I guess.

New to awesome, have a few questions
Widgets are typically obtained by either using widget collections, such a Vicious or Bling, by "extracting" them from other people's repos or by just writing them yourself. Note that, to customize awesome, you really do want to learn how to use the widget system, as otherwise, you'd be missing out on one of awesome's greatest strengths. Also, no, it doesn't matter which distro you use. They are almost always distro independent (except for maybe something like a package update notifier or something, as that really can't be done distro independently). It does however matter whether you use the stable release (4.3 as of now) or the current git master, as stable is about 3 years old while the git master is in very active development. Some of the cooler widgets may only work on the git master branch.

animations
Javacafe01 - evidently he has archived his repo, guess NixOS is getting to him. He is also the primary developer behind Bling which also implements Rubato, but in such a way as to take esoteric to new heights if you aren't used to making sense of the big foot scat that is awesomewm configurations.

simple horizontal tile
https://github.com/BlingCorp/bling/blob/master/layout/vertical.lua works for me
-
Desktop Pager
This question is asked from time to time. Recently I seen some very good try to implement it. I think it was in Bling. Check the tag preview widget there.

How can I have a "master/stack" layout no awesomewm?
Anything is possible! Bling is an external module for AwesomeWM and has utilities like tabs and tabbed containers. Also, OP, I think we have the exact layout you are looking for. Checkout the mstab layout.
-
Why has it been so long since the last awesome update, and when can we expect to see the next version to be released?
What exactly are tabbed layouts? I've never used i3 but when I looked it up it seemed like this module does essentially the same thing. Layout machi can be used to manually create layouts. I haven't used it yet but I've seen a lot of cool features.
