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.

Any software that can get me pop up windows when doing certain stuff?
Well I use wob for volume and brightness control. It’s an overlay bar which shows the current volume. As for the layout I just use the sway/language module on waybar
