sys-widget (v0.2) — Rust GTK4 Conky-inspired system widget Hey everyone, I’ve been working on a small side project called sys-widget — a lightweight system widget written in Rust, inspired by classic Conky-style desktop widgets, but built with modern GTK4.
sys-widget is a lightweight system widget written in Rust, inspired by Conky.
It uses GTK4 for rendering and is designed for desktop environments supporting modern Linux graphics stacks (Wayland/X11 depending on setup).
0.2.0 (Early Development Release)
This is an early-stage release. Expect breaking changes, missing features, and ongoing improvements.
- System monitoring widget (CPU-focused foundation)
- Built with Rust for performance and safety
- Uses GTK4 for UI rendering
- Inspired by classic Conky-style desktop widgets
- Preloaded themes:
- Default
- Glass
- Dark
- Light
sys-widget includes basic built-in themes to quickly match different desktop aesthetics. More customization options are planned for future releases.
This project is in very early development.
APIs, configuration formats, and UI behavior may change frequently.
- Linux (recommended)
- GTK4 runtime
- Rust toolchain (for building from source)
cargo build --release
