🎑 Widget Setup

In order to use the widgets you need eww which you can get from here.To install eww to your system you will need rust toolchain nightly. Once you have it you can follow these steps:

git clone [email protected]:elkowar/eww.git
cd eww/
cargo build --release

Once it has been built, you can run it directly form the directory or in order to use it system wide copy the bin to your $PATH

cd eww/target/release
chmod +x ./eww
cp eww ~/$PATH (in my case its ~/.local/bin/)

After you have it in your path you can run eww by entering:

eww daemon (to start the eww daemon)
eww windows (lists available widgets)
eww open widget-name (to open a single widget)
eww open-many widget-name1 widget-name2 widget-name3 (to open multiple widgets)

🎨 ColorScheme

Eh, I decided to call it Oblivion. Sounds cooler. Light Scheme is in the works too.

📝 Some notes:

• The widgets are for my screen i.e 1366x768 so if it looks weird you will have to adjust them to your screen size.
• SLim is maintained no more. But that doesn't mean it won't work. Still, keep that in mind that it doesn't recive any updates or bug fixes.
• You will need picom-git in order to get the rounded corners. Or you can use some other forks.
• The menu icons and some widget icons will not appear. Its not a bug but rather the icons I use are from a paid icon pack (Candy icons) so I can't share those. You will have to use other icons or get the icons from playstore.

If you encounter any issues please let me know. And if you wanna help me with a install script that would be fantastic cuz I don't know much scripting 😢.
