eww VS starship

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

Agreed, I use this in conjunction with Starship [1], both initialized specifically for Fish in the config. I love this shell so much.

starship is the new spaceship, yo

It seems like the Rust community is quite happy to support alternative shells. I’ve seen couple of projects, now, that support way more esoteric shells than I would expect, like ’xonsh’. Starship (https://starship.rs/) immediately comes to mind.

Until now I have been using bash on Windows with Starship as the prompt. The only reason I went with Starship, is that it was easy to setup and at the time I did not have much free time to devout to the shell/prompt configuration.

I'm staying on BitstromWera Nerd Font. Works great with Starship.

I use conditional includes for this, but I also add a single letter describing which Git identity I'm currently using to my PS1 so that it appears before $ in my shell prompt. This prevents me from committing code with the wrong identity, in case I'm using a git checkout that's anywhere not covered by the conditional include rules.

I use Starship (https://starship.rs) to manage my prompt, and wrote a short script that only runs if I'm somewhere in a git repo, and if so finds my Git user's email and looks up the corresponding letter in an associative array declared in my ~/.config/starship-zsh/.zshenv:

    git_email=$(git config --get user.email | perl -pe 'chomp if eof')
