Lol, congratulations on deciding (where to go).

I'm not 100% sure, but it seems that, even if Go itself gets uninstalled, once compiled libraries remain somewhere, until the version changes. At least my testing laptop behaved this way. If I'm wrong, it would make sense to have Go installed directly.

@nwg Ok I compiled nwg-menu and nwg-drawer as promised.
The process took 15 minutes for nwg-menu and a few seconds for nwg-drawer on my system.

They both work fine, no issues at all.

Thank you!
Yes, as long as the gotk3 version remains unchanged, next builds of any gotk3-based package should go quickly. The question is whether 15 minutes at the beginning is acceptable. Let it stay as is until users start complaining.

Well 15 minutes are acceptable in my opinion. With newer hardware it might be less than 10 minutes.

About 10 on my Ryzen 7 3750H.

@nwg may I ask if there is really a reason for the 'All' button in nwg-drawer. The drawer automatically resets with backspaces so it seems just to take up space and time to move your mouse and press the 'All' button.
It also themes alongside the normal buttons and that makes it a bit annoying to theme because the padding looks normal for the buttons but too big for the 'All' button. See below.
Please tell me if I should open a issue on github rather than here.

Sorry, my bad: a lot of the drawer code comes from nwg-menu. I forgot to change a line, and the drawer kept on using the nwg-menu resources path. Apparently nwg-menu is not installed on your system.
It should look like this:
The code is hopefully fixed now. Please update the package and let me know if it helps.

nwg-drawer 0.1.3 released
Requested by @OdiousImp:
- Category buttons given the
category-buttonname property, for separate css styling.
See drawer.css.
AUR up to date.

nwg-bar 1st preview available
As mentioned some time ago, I'm gradually replacing the nwg-launchers commands with golang equivalents. This is the step 2 of 3.
Feel free to play with arguments. The button bar placement has been unified with nwg-dock, and should allow for some more flexibility. For instance if you'd like the bar to fake being pinned up to a wybar button:

Flexibility is always good, unless you fear that your application suddenly becomes filled with polka-dots by CSS styling

What would you say about the wrapper I'm working on? It displays a script output (refreshed) or a static text file content on the bottom layer. It's going to work on sway, as well as on other wlroots-based compositors. A long way from Conky, but it's always something.
6 Likes
Can't say much till I try it...
Conky is quirky and doesn't work on wayland, and is probably overweight for most of what it's used for (often just like you show).
Just my thoughts...for free, and worth every penny!

On sway it makes little sense, apart from what you see in the picture - for beginners. But on floating managers - why not? Should look not bad on r/unixporn.

Since it takes text (does it recheck at intervals) from a file, it could be fed by a script (as you kinda alluded to). Never underestimate the uses of that
This use case is odd even more, but it was the reason I started working on this code. A sway user from Brazil, who uses sway bar-less, asked for a solution to display time in their co-workers’ time zones. They wanted to get rid of four clocks hanging on the wall behind their desk. 
The content source is a script executed once a second.
