Eww (ElKowar's Wacky Widgets, pronounced with sufficient amounts of disgust) Is a widgeting system made in [rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/), which let's you create your own widgets simmilarly to how you can in AwesomeWM. The key difference: It is independent of your window manager!

Configured in XML and themed using CSS, it is easy to customize and provides all the flexibility you need!

## Configuration
For specific built in widgets `<box>, <text>, <slider>, etc` see [Widget Documetation](@/main/widgets.md)
For specific built in widgets `<box>, <text>, <slider>, etc` see [Widget Documentation](@/main/widgets.md)
### Placing the configuration file
The configuration file and the scss file should lay in your `$HOME/.config/eww` folder. The xml file should be named `eww.xml` and the scss should be named `eww.scss`
The configuration file and the scss file should lay in `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/eww` (or, if unset, `$HOME/.config/eww`). The XML file should be named `eww.xml` and the scss should be named `eww.scss`
So the directory structure should look like this:
```
$HOME

### General issues
You should try the following things, before opening a issue or doing more specialized troubleshooting:
- Try killing the eww daemon with `eww kill` and run again
- If you're running with `-d`, run without `-d` to see output, or run `eww logs` to see the logs written by eww. These logs are stored in `~/.cache/eww.log`.
- use `eww state`, to see the state of all variables
- use `eww debug`, to see the xml of your widget and other information
- update to the latest eww version
- sometimes hot reloading doesn't work. restart the widget in that case
If you're experiencing issues printing variables, try to print them in quotes, so e.g.
```
onchange="notify-send '{}'"
```

## GTK
### Gtk-Themeing
### Gtk-theming
Eww is styled in GTK CSS.
To make theming even easier, it makes use of `scss` and then compiles that into CSS for you.
