wbar – minimalist fast and light launcher

Last Updated on July 13, 2021

wbar is a quick animated scrollbar. It is fast, light and cool eye-candy, and can run on top of desktops such as Nautilus.

The application is coded in C++ and works directly on top of X Windows to avoid going through a lot of layers.

The software was initially developed from Fluxbox, a window manager noted for being very light on resources.

Features include:

  • Runs in all environments including KDE, GNOME, and Xfce.
  • Modern looking dock without any performance issues.
  • Offers cool eye candy.
