Hi friends, it’s been a minute since I shared an update here on this project.

Last time I posted about building a debug GUI in Rust with egui, and I enjoyed the experience so much that I decided to write a status bar for my tiling window manager using egui too!

There is a whole live coding video series which documents the creation of the bar, and I think in general the codebase has some useful tips on doing things with egui like loading custom fonts at runtime and enabling application-wide theming from colorschemes palettes like base16 and catppuccin.

Happy to answer any questions about the technology choices, the experience in general, rough edges etc.
