Performance

⌄	Do use	Not recommended	Notes
Kernel			auto-cpufreq + unplugged = might be unresponsive
Login shell	bash/zsh	fish	It's okay to use fish in a terminal - that's what I do

Setup

• This eww config only works in ~/.config/eww
• Start eww with eww daemon
• To open the top bar, run eww open bar (for linage branch, also run: eww open barbg)
• To open the Windows bar, run eww open winbar
• Open the overview and wait 10 seconds (for it to generate app search cache, or icons won't show properly)

Usage

• Music control with the leftmost button of bars: Middle-click for Play/Pause, Right-click for Next track, scroll to change volume
• To open the Overview, middle/right-click the workspace indicators or run eww open overview
• You can type to search in overview!

Search

• Type normally to search apps
• Type something beginning with a number and it'll be calculated (qalc is used for backend)
• >save THEME: Saves current colorscheme, with THEME as the name.
• >load THEME: Loads a saved theme. Available themes will be shown as you type.
• >music: Get colorscheme from current media thumbnail
• >wall: Get colorscheme from wallpaper located in ~/.config/eww/images/wallpaper/wallpaper (might take quite a while)
• >light: Remember to generate light theme for future schemes
• >dark: Remember to generate dark theme for future schemes
• >r: Reload (runs eww reload)
