## Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
The llama bot is a discord bot made for the
|
||||
[Llama's Pyjamas community discord server](discord.gg/2fsar34APa).
|
||||
It is written in typescript and uses the
|
||||
[sapphire framework](https://sapphirejs.dev).

## Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
If you're into desktop customization, chances are, you're using (or used)
|
||||
[rainmeter][rainmeter]. In case you don't know what that is, it is by far the
|
||||
most popular desktop customization tool. Think of Windows 7 widgets on steroid.
|
||||
|
||||
However, rainmeter only works in the Windows Operating System. Which means Linux
|
||||
users like me have to look elsewhere for alternatives. Fortunately, there are
|
||||
projects like [conky][conky] and [polybar][polybar], so getting started should
|
||||
not be too difficult especially with the endless supply of ideas, references,
|
||||
and guides from communities such as [r/unixporn][unixporn].
|
||||
|
||||
When I first switched to Linux back in 2017, I was somewhat satisfied with my
|
||||
simple conky widgets, but I knew I had to eventually do something about its
|
||||
primitive configuration system that prevented me from making anything with
|
||||
complexity without looking like a card pyramid that could collapse at the
|
||||
slightest disturbance. So one day in December 2021, after finishing
|
||||
[The Rust Book][the-rust-book], I decided to make my own tailor-made system
|
||||
monitor as my first rust project.
|
||||
|
||||
## Challenges
|
||||
|
||||
### What framework to use
|
||||
|
||||
When I first started the project, I considered using [tauri][tauri] which is
|
||||
basically [ElectronJS][electronjs] but with rust & WebKit for backend and is
|
||||
much more lightweight.
|
||||
|
||||
However, that plan quickly fall apart when it turned out to be impossible to
|
||||
make a window that acted like it's part of the desktop (like the task bar)
|
||||
instead of a regular window without access to the lower level code. In technical
|
||||
terms, I wasn't able to mark the window as `_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DESKTOP`
|
||||
([FreeDesktop Documentation][freedesktop-docs]). This is now possible thanks to
|
||||
[tauri-apps/tao#522][tauri-always-on-bottom] PR being merged, but at the time,
|
||||
there was no simple and clean solution.
|
||||
|
||||
After going through different options, I ended up implementing everything from
|
||||
scratch using the [rust binding for gtk][gtk-rs]. This allowed me to simply set
|
||||
a `WindowTypeHint` ([GDK documentation][gdk-docs]) and expect everything to work
|
||||
flawlessly. This also allowed me to use powerful GUI design tools such as
|
||||
[glade][glade].
|
||||
|
||||
### Drawing graphs
|
||||
|
||||
Although GTK doesn't provide any usable built-in graph & chart components,
|
||||
developers can still implement their own using the
|
||||
[Cairo Graphics Library][cairographics] which is part of the
|
||||
[GTK architecture][gtk-architecture].
|
||||
|
||||
After reading some documentations and way more google searches than I'd like to
|
||||
admit, I was able to make a simple graph and bar component I was happy with.
|
||||
|
||||
## Future
|
||||
|
||||
Although the end result looks rather marvelous if you ask me, there are several
|
||||
rough edges I'd like to smooth out. For starters, it acts erratically on
|
||||
[Wayland][wayland] (getting a title bar all of a sudden, moving out of its set
|
||||
position, etc.), gets drawn over other window when switching workspaces, has
|
||||
higher CPU usage than other system monitors, has unpredictable CPU spikes, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
Which is why in the future, I'll be using [eww][eww]: yet another Linux widget
|
||||
system written in rust. The way it works is very similar to pomky behind the
|
||||
scenes (uses gtk, draws with cairo, custom components, all the good stuff), but
|
||||
it is better than pomky in almost every conceivable way. It is more configurable
|
||||
, more lightweight, more modular, and solves the previously mentioned issues.

Here are the past versions:

1. [https://github.com/developomp/setup-script-sh][setup-script-sh] - Third version written in Shell Script
|

2. [https://github.com/developomp/setup-script-py][setup-script-py] - Second version written in Python

## Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
wbtimeline is an experimental project made as an excuse to use [deno][deno]
|
||||
and [rust][rust]. The most notable thing about this project is that the frontend
|
||||
code is entirely written in the rust programming language by the power of the
|
||||
[yew][yew] framework.
