Since this is your first foray into this world I’d suggest you look into nwg-shell. It’s a sway (and hyprland) based WM that brings some of the niceties of a desktop over to this WM world for you. It comes complete with a gui for setting all the configs, and 4 desktop options, plus the ability to change it to your hearts content. There’s a dock, an app drawer, wallpaper app, and tons of things to tinker with. It’s written in Go and Python and you can change pretty much anything however you want.

Hey folks! I recently installed labwc on a newly created user just to start fresh. no I have a simple (basic) config running, but a lot of questions too! Are there panels beside waybar to run? Can I have tint2? how do i set a gtk theme?
I know some people use sfwbar with labwc and are quite happy with it. There is also yambar but it doesn't support some things I personally need when using with labwc like a taskbar.
