Eww (ElKawor Wecky Widget)

Eww is a highly customizable widget system for Wayland/X11. It supports CSS or SCSS for theming. SCSS is recommended since it has more features and flexibility.

Add the following line to the configuration:

toml
[links]
# ...
"colors.scss" = [
  # ...
  "~/.config/eww/colors.scss"
]

INFO

You need to generate colors for these configuration files to be created. Run:

bash
rong video path/to/image/or/video

Apply

Create the Eww style file at ~/.config/eww/eww.scss and import your color variables:

scss
@import "colors.scss";

* {
  all: unset;
}

.widget {
  background-color: $background;
  color: $onBackground;
}

Reload

Eww auto reloads styles on change. But if you're generating for the first time you need to run:

bash
eww reload
