To handle workspaces in i3 with eww widget.
This is first project in Rust, I created because I like to use i3 and https://github.com/elkowar/eww. However, eww and i3 didn't work out of box together, I wanted to avoid using bash jq and start my journey into Rust.
The idea is to set all usable workspaces in eww and use the i3tmsg to print out with awk the focused window.
git clone git@github.com:Ifnir/i3tmsg.git
cd i3tsmg
cargo build --release
cd target/release
copy i3tmsg to your script folder
Add this to your .config/eww/scripts folder
(deflisten workspace "scripts/i3tmsg")
(defwidget _workspaces []
(literal :content {replace(workspace, "sep", "
")})
)
i3tmsg can take arguments like icons
(deflisten workspace "scripts/i3tmsg s a")
For the eww.scss file
.works {
border-radius: 15px;
margin-left: 5px;
margin-top: 5px;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 5px;
font-size: 20px;
margin-right: 20px;
}
.focused {
color: #61AAD6;
}
.urgent {
color: #f00a0a;
}
.unoccupied {
color: #ff00ea;
}
.occupied {
color: #ffffff;
}
