+      Eww (ElKowar's Wacky Widgets) is a widget system made in Rust which lets
+      you create your own widgets similarly to how you can in AwesomeWM.
+      The key difference: It is independent of your window manager!
+      It can be configured in yuck and themed using CSS, is very easy
+      to customize and provides all the flexibility you need!
