I'm trying out a new video editor, so this video does not have any usual red arrows. I hope you enjoy this one! PS: let me know if you want an EWW widget making series

There is almost nothing out there for eww so more would be nice.

[@itstoxicqt]

Definitely! I've been wanting to make a dashboard in EWW

[@kenaibehling]

Continue with EWW videos! Your content is amazing!

[@MrAndrewKeyboards]

Bro! You have to continue with a full Eww tutorial! This is, by far, the most useful video ever related to Eww! There’s almost no documentation or info concerning HOW to make anything in Eww, and the language is a nightmare! So thanks a LOT! 🤘🏻 You’re the boss

[@ryoschinlot9153]

Wouldn't agree, you can learn a lot by just looking at the examples, and trying to craft something of your own. I must however agree with the fact that the documentation is flat..

[@MrAndrewKeyboards]

@@ryoschinlot9153 I tried several times and didn't understand a single thing even with those examples. Is not easy nor intuitive at all. And the documentation doesn't help neither.

[@flannn6]

i have no fucking idea why the hell elko decided to make a fucking new language for it. but the project is very good

[@elliotalderson6609]

​@@flannn6bro, we should thank him that it's not JS

[@tescomealdeals]

I totally agree. A huge problem I see in the Linux ricing community is that if you wanna move past the basics there’s almost an inescapable sea of assumed knowledge that makes it damn near impossible to get out of that intermediate stage of customisation. As much as I appreciate the developers of tools as powerful as eww they also need to stop pretending that “here’s a few examples you figure it out yourself lollllll” is good enough

[@gusslx]

Bro spies on me literally this morning I was thinking of replacing waybar and other stuff with eww! I'll let it slide if you do a full series tho ;) great vid as always

[@SimonLauer-qu9ns]

Another great one! The only thing that made me cry inside are your python naming conventions :P

[@makkusu3866]

Really good tutorial, notification demons and centers in my opinion are usually the hard part with tiling window managers, now I want to build my own with this stack

[@carinhadiscord2992]

this was awesome man, please continue with the series

[@elpitbullhouse]

Awesome video, thank you! I love your NixOS videos, btw! 😄

[@GabrielLima-gz8zg]

Your channel is a must. Very thanks

[@pavanbhat6396]

Eww is crazy... Once you understand it, you want to use it for everything

[@johannbauer2863]

Omg! I was thinking of doing this this week and now you made a video of exactly what I wanted to do! What are you? A magician?

[@paukone890]

Very great & interesting video 👍👍

[@ggorg0]

I tried writing a system panel/bar with eww, until I saw that you can't make a system tray.

[@vimjoyer]

I think I saw someone implementing a tray on EWW's github issues page

[@bavali0n]

Hi dude, I watched your video and wanted to try to do the same thing myself, but it's not working out, can you please help me? I'm using Python 3.11.6, the modules I'm using are: "dbus-python, PyGObject, jedi-language-server", I'm using the wayland version of eww, and I'm using the Arch distribution.

[@BTwoOne_]

Managed to solve? I couldn't do it here either

[@bavali0n]

@@BTwoOne_ The method in the video didn't work for me, but I decided to create a notification center by reading the dunst notification history with the command "dunstctl history".

[@BTwoOne_]

@@bavali0n But were you able to play notification history within a window eww? Could you share the code for me to analyze?

[@DimasPangestu-dx7hn]

I use Nix btw hehhehe...
