  • Inter-process Communication between two programs on Linux.
    3 projects | /r/rust | 12 Jul 2023
    I have done the exact same thing but for X11, feel free to take a look at the project if you want here, I was very happy with the communication between the client and the wm.

    If you are looking for more beginner friendly things I'd advise against a wm. I'm writing one and while it's fun it can get pretty challenging at time

  • X11 programming: x11rb or rust-xcb ? What's the difference ?
    3 projects | /r/rust | 10 Feb 2023
    rust-xcb and x11rb. As a bonus there is also breadx that is less popular but seems to have async support (although not sure how useful that would be).
  • Alternatives to Cairo for 2d graphics for X11
    2 projects | /r/rust | 23 Aug 2022
    Yeah, I would like to use just Cairo, but the documentation to get it working with the xcb crate is just atrocious, in particular I am running into this issue with the latest rust-xcb bindings that requires an unsafe cast potentially. https://github.com/rust-x-bindings/rust-xcb/issues/200
  • Rbacklight: Xbacklight Written in Rust
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 25 Feb 2022
    Just like in xbacklight, which uses the xcb library, I used the rust-x-bindings crate(https://github.com/rust-x-bindings/rust-xcb/tree/v1.0.0-beta...).

    rbacklight comes with more features than xbacklight,like formatting output, using different value modes, etc.
