## Tips
Tips (do after installation)

-You can use a systemd service or autostart Arctyx with Hyprland by adding it to your config.

-Position the launcher icon using Hyprland rules if needed.

-Adjust paths inside .sh files if your directories differ.

-Add keybinds in Hyprland config to toggle eww open & eww close for convenience.

-Avoid autostarting popups; use scripts or keybinds for more control.

-Plan a fallback “kill switch” if widgets hide before quitting EWW.

# Make sure eww is installed and running
eww daemon &

# Change directory to eww
cd ~/.config/eww
