polybar-themes VS awesome-wm-widgets

I did try other kernels and what worked with me is to basically create a custom arch install. There seems to be a specific kernel/driver combination that works well with the WiFi/Ethernet drivers on my board and I can't just force some wifi drivers on the current kernel (I think 81.ucode is the latest one for the wifi but its using a version lower than that which I've already tested by force loading). For now I'm very much thankful that you can basically study and copy Archcraft's code/packages/configs (and my backups as well) and set it up on my custom arch install though it did take a few hours but I probably managed to restore 90% of my previous setup as everything is already on github. As a bonus, I did use u/adi1090x polybar-themes as well (https://github.com/adi1090x/polybar-themes) and study to integrate that pywal effect and basically add and integrate that on top of the default themes. But its just too cumbersome to edit one by one rather than having an already available distro so I'm still hoping for a permanent fix if any of you guys have an idea.

Sorry man I woke up to exam announcement lol, here is the Conifg I am using for polybar: https://github.com/adi1090x/polybar-themes

If you want to replace some components, you could get polybar instead of the XFCE panel and rofi as the app launcher. Aditya Shakya (/u/adi1090x) has great collections of themes for polybar and rofi.

I am currently using Debian 11 with openbox and my polybar powermenu isn't fully working shutdown, and restart are the only two that are working logout and sleep are not working and the polybar config is weird I try to edit the config and it just doesn't work I've been trying to make the polybar be on top of my screen but it just stays on the bottom. I am currently using an already made polybar called colorblocks https://github.com/adi1090x/polybar-themes and I want to get rid of some modules as well.

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.

Hello, I am new to Linux (using Mint rn) and very new to Awesome. I installed Pavel Makhov's awesome-wm-widgets pack since that seems very cool and widely used. While the arc portion of the widget works perfectly fine, the actual charge isn't showing in the middle of the arc. Here's what I mean.

I am a noob to awesome wm, and have tried several times to get the widgets from https://github.com/streetturtle/awesome-wm-widgets to work. I am not understanding the directions, and whenever I try it always throws me errors that i cannot figure out. Can anyone give me detailed instructions on how to setup these up?

Check tips & tricks section here, there are two tutorials on widget creation: https://pavelmakhov.com/awesome-wm-widgets/ You can also have a look at the source code of https://github.com/streetturtle/awesome-wm-widgets

> What widgets are you referring to that you found to have leaks?

I'll cite myself here: https://github.com/streetturtle/awesome-wm-widgets/issues/11...

I've had similar issues wherever GTK interacts with awful.spawn . Hence my GTK + awful.spawn.easy_async = extremely leak-prone

Here's another affected library [1]: https://github.com/deficient/volume-control

[1]: No bug under the main repo because they're considering it as a framework bug. See here for discussion: https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/3584#issuecommen...

You can try this widget: https://github.com/streetturtle/awesome-wm-widgets/tree/master/logout-menu-widget

u/BaigGam3rss I still have some work to do to make my own widgets but you probably start with the documentation [1][2]. And then look at some other projects that use Awesome API to build widgets (ex: [3][4][5][6][7]).
