eww VS spicetify-cli

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

There's spicetify, which you can use to remove podcasts from and customize the UI of the desktop client:

Anyone wondering, I'm using Spicetify on my computer together with some extra extensions to get what the image shows. It works for both Windows & Mac and it's pretty easy and free to set up. If it's highly requested, I can fix a guide on how to fix this. Otherwise, most stuff can be found on https://spicetify.app/docs/getting-started and install lyrics-plus https://github.com/spicetify/spicetify-cli/tree/master/CustomApps/lyrics-plus via the terminal to get the translated lyrics for bare minimum.

Here is Spicetify: https://github.com/spicetify/spicetify-cli

The Spicetify theme is Dribbblish (Beach-Sunset). I looked through the GitHub repo and funnily enough, the only mention of Star Wars that I could find is a commit that was supposed to disable the easter egg...

What about spicetify? It is FOSS and has an adblock extension which works flawlessly

If your on desktop use SpotX, or you cant use Spicetify, the only downside of spicetify is that you cant queue songs unless you already have premium but atleast its highly customizable.
