A wayland status bar written in pure rust. Aimed at tiling window managers.

Code may not be idiomatic rust. This is my first rust project.

Unless you plan to contribute or look at the code, ignore this repository. The application is not useful yet.

rustbar aims to provide a status bar that is highly configurable, performant and pretty. Bars like waybar, i3bar, polybar seem to focus on more simplistic components: a date is just a date, and changing it should be done through the configuration.

This project aims to go further than that and provide an experience more like plasma's taskbar, or windows' taskbar, where components offer the functionality to edit them in the GUI itself, etc.

Assuming you have git, cargo and gtk-layer-shell installed:

git clone https://github.com/zeroeightysix/rustbar cargo build --release target/build/rustbar 

(cargo run in development)
