Eww not opening?

[greed-d]

Distro : Arch WM : Hyprland

I'm pretty new to eww and followed the steps you told but it spawns errors when trying to open the bar

2023-10-25T06:22:25.040Z INFO  eww > Initializing Eww server. (/run/user/1000/eww-server_aa08eec3e14d83d6)

and doing eww open bar gives this error

failed to open window `bar`

Caused by:
    No window named 'bar' exists in config.
    This may also be caused by your config failing to load properly, please check for any other errors in that case.

Sorry for the silly question :(

What's your eww version? Looks like it's pretty old. The $EWW_TIME magic variable was added in May iirc.

eww --version gives :

eww 0.4.0 d58d91de78d2b9984a1bbb8314be197bc0e283dc

I installed eww today, if that helps

[fufexan]

Yeah that's more than a year old. You may want to use eww-git from the AUR.

[greed-d]

I compiled the eww myself and I think I got all the deps but I could be wrong but it is like this

[fufexan]

Did you link one of the css/colors-{dark,light}.scss to css/colors.scss? Looks like the css is incomplete. You can find more in eww logs.

[greed-d]

Yessir but still not complete :(

[fufexan]

Not complete in what sense? I don't see anything missing. Oh, blur? You need to add these in your Hyprland config:

$layers = ^(eww-.+|bar|system-menu)$
layerrule = blur, $layers
layerrule = ignorealpha 0, $layers
layerrule = ignorealpha 0.5, ^(eww-music)$
layerrule = ignorealpha 0.5, ^(eww-calendar|system-menu)$
layerrule = xray 1, ^(bar)$

that what's my sys info looks like

compared to this

yours is league better

and even the right of the bar looks like this

vs yours

Sorry for the annoyance I'm causing :sweat:

Those are old versions, but I didn't have time to change the screenshots. You can get them from the commit I added those screenshots in. Easier found that way, as I don't version my config. For the bluetooth, I assume you don't have an adapter, so that's why it's not showing. If you do, there's an issue with the script.
