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.
-
How to get the groups in use via the Command-API
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.
-
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

X11 is dead, switch to Wayland
I am personally waiting for Waymonad. https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad
-
With rise of wayland, are simpler window managers dying?
It takes time, but the teams behind wlroots etc are doing good work to make sure that wms managed by smaller teams can exist. There are even clones for your specific wm on wayland. See https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad
-
switching from awesomewm to a wayland compositor
In addition, there was the last commit in 2019. Thus, it can be assumed that the project is dead and therefore nothing will change on the current state. And according to https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad/issues/44, there are probably not enough people who would actively participate in a fork.
-
I was in a stream and I realized what is still lacking from Linux Gaming to be mainstream
Ideally xmonad would be ported/xmonad devs would be working on waymonad, but I doubt it will happen. Waymonad seems to be abandoned.
-
Cool Desktops Don’t Change
Nice to see Qtile on Wayland. But I'm personally waiting for xmonad on Wayland.
-
A tiling desktop environment is now available for Bullseye
I wouldn't count on it, as Waymonad has not seen active development since 2019 and the Haskell bindings to wlroots have not been updated since 2019 as well. There is a fork, but it has not been active since September 2021. Also, it was based on wlroots, not sway.
-
How hard would it be to make my own window manager?
That's what the XMonad fans are using: https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad lets you write your Wayland compositor in Haskell, is analogy to the way XMonad lets you write your X window manager in Haskell.
-
I would not give up haskell for hiring purposes. I think it will exponentialy rise through the roof in a year or two [2012]
Unfortunately it was abandoned https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad/issues/44
- Is there a successful Wayand wm that is close to xmonad?
-
Little advice, please.
regarding keeping an interest, waymonad has been dead for something like two and a half years but according to startrack it's still getting people giving him stars so i don't think you should worry about it.
