Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.
i3status-rust
- How can I make my i3bar like this?
-
Configuration of i3wm!!
If you want icons and clickable items on the bar you need to use something like https://github.com/greshake/i3status-rust
-
i3blocks - cannot get custom block to work at all
https://github.com/greshake/i3status-rust/tree/master/examples is about twice as good. The way i3blocks handles clicks is quite frankly kind of crap.
- I3status-Rust
-
Unable to set icons in i3status-rust - unknown field 'icons'
I assume you have installed latest stable version which is 0.22. The relavant config is https://github.com/greshake/i3status-rust/blob/v0.22.0/examples/config.toml
-
Upload and download speed for status bar
What's the version of i3-status you are using. As per their README, https://github.com/greshake/i3status-rust , there are two versions 0.22 and 0.3. Make sure you are using compatible versions according to your config.

I wrote an x11 tiling window manager inspired by DWM that I've been using for a few months now. If you're using x11 and want to try out a new tiling window manager I'd love your feedback!
Yeah, much better than the default i3status, it is well documented, you can check its screenshots and documents for more into. https://github.com/greshake/i3status-rust/blob/master/doc/themes.md

I really love Colemak, but I sadly rolled back to QWERTY because...
Setup is a Clevo laptop with an eGPU and 3 external monitors, running i3wm with i3status-rust. Keyboard is an Ergodone (chinese knockoff of ZSA's Ergodox EZ) with MX Browns and caps are a white and green set from AliExpress, that was basically the only DSA blank set for this keyboard I could find that would also have homing notches.

Is there a way to create a WM with winit?
writing an X11 window manager is ... extremely tedious. have a look at https://github.com/sminez/penrose .

[Media] shrs: a shell that is configurable and extensible in rust
Hey everyone 👋 ! I'm currently working on a rust library for building and configuring your own shell! It's inspired by projects like xmonad and penrose where the configuration of the program is done in code. This means that for example, instead of using Bash's arcane syntax for configuring the prompt, it can be configured instead using a rust builder pattern! The project itself is still at a very young stage, so there are plenty of bugs and unimplemented features. However, some things that are (partially) implemented are:

if I wanted to make a Tiling Window Manager in Rust, how would I go about it?

Its not opinion. Its fact
im not sure weather or not i should mention penrose an dwm here :D you can configure even more than with kde (and my setup ended up way beyond anything recognisable)

Building a Tiling Window Manager with Rust and Penrose
There are many existing tiling-window managers with i3 probably being the most popular choice for linux systems. These window managers can depend on extensive configuration files or in the case of dwm, git patching or C programming. Penrose takes a different approach in that Penrose is not a window manager. Penrose is a high-level rust library that you use to build your own window manager. This gives us many options for customization while also giving us all the advantages that come with writing rust code.

Mostly non-dynamic except for wm-specific actions. What kind of events are we talking about? I think that if we're talking about something that on a more low-level exposes x11 events penrose is a better bet. That being said, exposing something like:

Is there a good tutorial for writing an X11 Tiling Window manager in Rust?
You might find Penrose interesting. Basically a rust library that you can use to write your own X11 window manager without needing to deal with a lot of the lower level details of X11.
