[niri] Gruvbox Setup (lemmy.ml)

I was planning on having a gruvbox-ish red color as the window border, however at the moment I had to settle for this color because the GTK theme I'm using has a weird focus ring of its own and I'm yet to figure out how to get rid of it.

I think you have a shot at this with eww […] it's harder to work with

Uh huh! 😆 I was running i3 for like a decade before very recently, and a couple of years ago I got tired of the limitations of polybar and I basically rewrote all of its functionality and the modules and behavior I wanted beyond that, in eww widgets. Took me a few months to get everything the way I wanted to have it, with rich media control widgets and weather widgets and i3 workspace control and styling and, and, and.

It was super possible! But it was clunky for sure. Lots of supporting scripts and lots of strongly coupled integration of those scripts and manually refreshing eww state data in my i3 config bindings.

I've been eyeing Aylur's Astal widget system as well, but I'm a little hesitant that it'll be more of the same—configuration by programming (which is fine), with big gains in functionality, but with little gain in terms of appearance.

Yesterday I heard of https://quickshell.outfoxxed.me/ but have never tried it myself. They have some pretty decent examples of widgets on their homepage. I think they have their own little langauge called QML which appears to be turing-complete.

Maybe that's what you're missing.

Holy crap. That showreel carousel on their homepage literally made my jaw drop. No, literally made it drop.

Thank you so much for introducing me to that; that looks like it's exactly what I've been dreaming about doing to my desktop for the last 15 or so years.

I owe you a beer or something.
