Emacs Desktop Environment #2 - Improving the EXWM Experience

In this stream, we'll continue building the ultimate desktop environment using Emacs Window Manager (EXWM). This time we're improving the day-to-day experience so that you will feel more at home using Emacs as your desktop environment! We cover setting the screen background, Emacs transparency, setting up system keys, useful system tray applications, and displaying time and battery status.
