[FEATURE] Multiple widgets in a single window? about eww HOT 6 CLOSED

You can easily use a <box> to achieve exactly that, no? as in, have 3 boxes that fill out their container with equal width, then have those align their contents left/center/right respectively

from eww.

Also note that the <widget> tag allows you to put anything inside, so you can put those boxes directly in the <widget> tag

Oh wow, I didn't realize I could use <box> within the <widget> tag! So to achieve what I'm looking for, I could do something like:

<windows>
    <window name="main_bottom">
        <geometry x="5%" y="75%" width="90%" height="25%"/>
        <widget>
                  <box class="main_bottom" orientation="h"  space-evenly="false">
                      <profile/>
                      <player/>
                      <launch/>
                      <weather/>
                      <system_info/>
                  </box>
          </widget>
      </window>
</windows>

Do I need to add <main_bottom/> after the </box>? Could I also put this <box> into the <def> block, calling it "main" and then place it in the <widget> block?

Not sure what you mean by the adding </main_bottom> after </box>, but yes, you could definitely also put it into def and use it in the widget block.

After thinking about it more, I realized that the last <main_box/> is indeed unnecessary. I thought it may be needed to tell the window to open that particular widget. Simply doing eww open main_bottom is sufficient.

As an aside, I just wanted to say thank you so much for creating/sharing this project. You're an absolute visionary for the r/unixporn community!
