2 people did triage or write work on this repository in the last 12 months.

Counts unlabeled, assigned, unassigned, milestoned, demilestoned, locked, unlocked over the last 12 months. These are issue and pull request events that require triage or write permission. Commits and code review are not counted. labeled and renamed are excluded because GitHub issue forms record the issue author as the actor. Figures from October 18, 2026. This count is not comparable across projects: each project's automation decides which of these events a person emits. How this is counted.

How this project is maintained

87% of open issues come from outside the core team, so the backlog reflects real-world use rather than internal planning. Work labelled "type: bug" is answered fastest, typically in about 3 days, while "type: feature" waits about 3 weeks. Three people close 79% of everything that gets resolved.

Detailed Description

Zebar is a tool for creating customizable and cross-platform taskbars, desktop widgets, and popups.

The tool addresses the need for flexible, user-configurable desktop UI elements that work consistently across Windows, macOS, and Linux. Zebar allows developers and power users to define taskbars, widgets, and popup windows through configuration, rendering them as native applications rather than relying on platform-specific desktop environments. This approach enables rich customization while maintaining performance through a compiled, cross-platform architecture.

Zebar suits users who want to replace or supplement their system taskbar with custom layouts, add persistent widgets to their desktop, or create popup windows triggered by user actions. It works best for those comfortable with configuration-driven setup and who value consistency across multiple operating systems. The project is particularly relevant for users engaged in desktop customization and ricing communities who need programmatic control over their taskbar appearance and behavior.

The project shows active development with regular commits addressing bug fixes and feature additions. Work spans multiple areas including core rendering, platform-specific implementations for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and configuration handling. The maintainers respond to user issues and incorporate feedback into the codebase. Development activity indicates ongoing refinement of the tool's stability and cross-platform compatibility rather than foundational changes to its architecture.
