About

The aim of this project is to have a fully working shell (bar, desktop widgets, menus) for my own personal use.

Progress

Bar

• Workspace support (implemented for hyprland).
• Battery.
• Clock.
• System tray support.
• Music player support.
• More configurable theming.
• Support for different compositors other than hyprland (more modular).

Desktop

• Clock widget.

• Right-click context menu.

• Feel free to suggest more ideas.

Usage

1. Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/DerpDays/rgtkshell.git
2. Modify (or delete) .cargo/config.toml since it contains build arguments specific to my system.
   • If deleted, you can also delete rust-toolchain.toml and use stable rust.
3. Edit src/config.rs to your liking.
4. Run cargo build --release
5. The final binary will be located at target/release/rgtkshell

Note

If you aren't happy with the memory usage, you may try set this environment variable to force gtk4 to render using the old cairo backend.
