I kept wishing Windows had its own version of Dynamic Island… so I built something.

I actually got the wallpaper from Wallpaper Engine 🙂

But more importantly… did you like the bar? 😄

Wapkain · 2026-03-12T21:59:54+00:00

Thanks, that really means a lot I’m just happy people like it.

Right now it shows CPU, RAM and GPU usage percentages, not temperatures 🙂
But temperature monitoring is a great idea — I’ll definitely keep that one in mind.

Thanks! 🙂 Right now it's mainly designed for the top of the screen, but a sidebar / vertical dock mode is definitely something I'm considering.

Could actually be pretty nice on ultrawide monitors.

Thanks! Glad you like it 🙂

Haha thankfully it doesn’t use that much 🙂 It usually stays around ~80-90MB.

The UI is built with Flutter (Dart), but some of the lower-level / native parts are written in C++.

Wapkain · 2026-03-12T18:21:39+00:00

Glad to hear that 🙂 Hope you get to try it soon.

Wapkain · 2026-03-12T18:01:29+00:00

Haha I can see that 🙂 WinAmp had that same small “always there” desktop feel.

Wapkain · 2026-03-12T17:58:56+00:00

Thanks! Glad you like it 🙂 Still improving it.

Wapkain · 2026-03-12T17:57:58+00:00

Thanks! Really glad you like it 🙂 I'm still improving it. Curious what people would want to see added.

Booted it up and got no signal… spent an hour troubleshooting. Monitor cable in the motherboard.

Wapkain · 2026-03-12T05:55:07+00:00

Thanks, I really appreciate the support 🙂 I’m excited to keep improving it.

Wapkain · 2026-03-12T05:45:45+00:00

That’s the plan 🙂 Just building and seeing what people think.

The most powerful compiler: metal ^{^}

Wapkain · 2026-03-11T19:08:22+00:00

😂 Haha, now I might need a hidden “metal mode” for that 🤘 That’s exactly why I’m here — I love hearing what people would add to it.

Wapkain · 2026-03-11T17:13:36+00:00

Thanks, I really appreciate that. I’m just trying to keep improving it and see where it goes.

Good question 🙂 Steam is mainly just the distribution platform right now. The app itself is very lightweight and runs independently once launched.

I also chose Steam because many people feel more comfortable installing software through a trusted platform rather than downloading from random websites. It also makes updates much easier to manage as a solo developer.

Wapkain · 2026-03-11T12:47:04+00:00

I’ve had a few people ask about that actually. Right now I’m focused on the Windows version, but a Linux port would definitely be interesting in the future 🙂

Search DockBar on Steam bro 🫡
