Hey, not elenapan (obviously) but as they've been busy to my knowledge I'm gonna look into how this might be done for now. If they come back with a solution before that then cool.

as a note:
As these are, to my knowledge, still primarily their personal dotfiles anything they don't use generally is just commented out and needs to be enabled for each user that wants that feature. So rather than a full feature update for this for everyone, it's more likely that either you'll have to add in the specific parts yourself or a new bar theme would be uploaded where you'll have to uncomment the features that you wish to use.

Anyway I'd say give me a few days of utterly breaking these dotfiles and I should have some option for you.

You should just be able to drop in this as a replacement for .config/awesome/bars/ephemeral.lua

If you've already made changes to that file, check out lines 130-136 and 296

Hi @ceuk Great Working Hack.
I tried changing the required files and was have a new space for time 😃 but the time doesn't update in the bar. 😞 It only updates the time on startup and whenever I reload the awesome setup.

That's odd, maybe it's just not refreshing very frequently? You could try manually setting the refresh rate to 1 by adding it to line 130:

- local clock = wibox.widget.textclock("%H:%M")
+ local clock = wibox.widget.textclock("%H:%M", 1)

Hey, sorry to bother you but is there any chance you could update that link. Thanks!
