This set-up has been transferred over from Hyprland and onto Mango and has been worked over bit by bit as I use it. I've got no solid idea about the overall look I wanted, but it seems it came together quite decently.

The main bar and widgets are made with Quickshell, but the desktop widgets are made with EWW. Desktop widgets still not quite complete though as two of the widgets are still stubs.
