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.
