Haha! I've not only managed to make a bar for #CoW ( #fvwm for #Wayland ) using only cowpager and cowbuttons, I've managed to script it so each output has it's own independent bar too. The scripting could probably be tidied up and there is more than likely an easier way to achieve the same thing but it works for me. 😉
Dotfiles are here if anyone is interested?
