Do you know of any good guide/tutorial on how to use eww? I tried with the official documentation but I couldn't understand it
Yeah the documentation is quite lacking, some examples would be useful, but if you go to their repo along side the examples they list there a tutorial to make a power menu that does a good introduction.
Some tips I found along the way
To be fair I don't blame them, idk why there is not such example in the wiki to begin with.
The workspaces are a bit hard to do, but you can just copy someone implementation or if you are using hyprland they provide it in the
Define colours on a separe scss file to change themes on the fly if you want so.
For Variables that you update manually like volume and brightness do a polling function (checking every x sec), just go to the shortcut you defined previously ( assuming you are using a wm ) and along side the command to change the volume/brightness run
