A ready-to-use status bar for Wayland compositors such as Hyprland, Niri, MangoWC, and other wlroots-based setups, written in Rust with the iced GUI library. It ships batteries-included modules (workspaces, system tray, media player, notifications, CPU/RAM/network stats, audio, brightness, Bluetooth, VPN, power menu) with hot-reload configuration and an IPC socket for scripting and keybindings.

Use cases

  • status bar for hyprland
  • wayland compositor top bar
  • niri status bar
  • wlroots desktop panel
  • rice my linux desktop with a status bar
  • system tray and notification center for wayland
  • ready-made wayland bar without writing scripts
  • linux bar with media player and quick settings

When to choose

  • You use Hyprland, Niri, MangoWC, or another supported wlroots-based Wayland compositor and want a working bar out of the box
  • You want workspaces, tray, media, network, audio, brightness, and power controls bundled in one bar instead of assembling many scripts or plugins
  • You value hot-reload configuration and flexible theming such as transparent islands, custom radius, margins, fonts, and per-monitor layouts

When to avoid

  • You are on X11 or a desktop environment like GNOME or KDE that ships its own panel
  • You rely on a large third-party module/plugin ecosystem or deeply custom scriptable modules beyond the built-in custom button/text and IPC commands
  • Your compositor is not on the supported-compositors list and auto-detection fails
