Hyprwwland

A simple sharing of my eww setup on Hyprland to serve as an example or basis for learning how to create your own desktop environment. Many thanks to @ElKowar for this awesome standalone widget system made in Rust. To be used without moderation.

In order to keep this clean, and being only an eww configuration, my dotfiles are on a separate repository Hyprwwland-dotfiles.
