sys-widget (v0.2) — Rust GTK4 Conky-inspired system widget

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on a small side project called sys-widget — a lightweight system widget written in Rust, inspired by classic Conky-style desktop widgets, but built with modern GTK4.

sys-widget is a lightweight system widget written in Rust, inspired by Conky.
It uses GTK4 for rendering and is designed for desktop environments supporting modern Linux graphics stacks (Wayland/X11 depending on setup).

would love to hear for feed backs and suggestions.
