Is there some app that lets you launch a simple text overlay?
Here an example with GTK and python https://github.com/wmww/gtk-layer-shell/blob/master/examples/simple-example.py

Wayland Vs Xorg : Pick your side
Ummm. .. not always the case that the client is at fault. For example the layer shell protocols of Wayland allows you to create desktop components like popup menus etc. Now the tricky part is established desktop environments like GNOME uses the xdg_surface, hence GTK only has binding or focuses explicitly on that. This has given others who wants to implement a layer shell like this gtk-layer-shell library has to do some hacking as workaround. As you see currently only tested to work with gtk3 2.24 26.while many rolling releases are already shifting gtk3 2.24.30. Some window managers or rather say status bar like waybar ( the most popular status bar project ) uses this library. And this creates problem for those wants to use any status bar that depends on tk layer shell library and are on recent updates on gtk. Gtk only sees xdg_surface, is not in a mood to support other libraries.

Announcing Relm4 v0.1
This may be a stupid question but would it be possible to use relm to make a panel or notification widgets for non gnome wayland desktop? I know this can be achieved through GTK layer shell however they do not support GTK4 because gnome want to support they layer shell protocol. Curios if you would gnome if this can be done another way directly with GTK4?

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.

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
