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.

Waybar, how to show hour without leading zero?
GNU calls their extensions "equivalent to" things I'd have suggested trying ($_I or $-l), but I'm not sure if the equivalents are themselves GNU extensions, too. Regardless, reading this Waybar Github issue about %OI, I get the impression there was a regression at some point, in any case on March 27th 2022 someone says it "used to work fine until recently".

Persistent workspaces?
I think this has just been added to waybar (wlr/workspaces) to work in a similar manner to how it is in sway/workspaces. No need for fake empty terminals. Something was merged for wwlr/workspaces in the waybar github. See - https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/pull/2089.
