[BUG] Systray updates about eww HOT 5 OPEN

Could it be because you have set :space-evenly and :prepend-new as strings? They are supposed to be bool values, according to the docs:

https://elkowar.github.io/eww/widgets.html#systray

Does it work if you change it from "true" to true?

I tried and that's didn't help. As I know it's string with boolean type converts to the boolean under the hood. Also I using string variations in other places and everything is ok.

P.S. Sometimes it works. But when it is working most cases it is when you add something into the tray after opening(another words in my case systray just don't restore already opened apps).

I'm experiencing something similar. I have 3 programs that use the systray: nextcloud client, keepassxc and udiskie. Out of those, only nextcloud client shows in the eww systray, but if I enable systray in dusk (fork of dwm), all three show. I'm still testing, trying to figure out what are the differences in the notification of those three and will post my findings later this week.

What does happen, then? You say it doesn't work properly. Does something happen? An error message when you type eww reload?

Nothing happened, just normal behavior. I can see systray container in gtk devtools, but it has 0 width with no content. It should at least show the nm-applet which is enabled every time after boot/reload.
But if I try to add width and colors to the space it will be visible. So I think it's enabled, but doesn't want to show the data about current apps.
