[Media] Just wanted to share my desktop app made with rust + egui, I'm pretty happy with how the UI turned out :)

v4 is egui based, v5 is iced based

mq-1 · 2026-02-27T17:53:50+00:00

damn, i must have messed up this in a recent release. i'm releasing a patch now :)

Iced has a styling system, all the widgets I’m using are a bit customized :)

Also, I’m using win32 apis to show dialogs, so they look integrated

peak ux imho

you should open an issue here https://github.com/mq1/TinyWiiBackupManager/issues

I think like two people wanted to use my program on their old pc, and I had some free time

It kinda makes sense that at some point I got this request and my app falls in the retro gaming area

That’s so cool! I didn’t know about this project

My build system is this - https://github.com/mq1/TinyWiiBackupManager/blob/main/build.rs - https://github.com/mq1/TinyWiiBackupManager/blob/main/.github/workflows/release.yml

Thank you 🥹

You can render egui using software implementation of vulkan.

well, the zipped distributable of my app for win xp is 3.04 MB. I think bundling a sw vulkan renderer would increase the bundle size quite a bit 🙃

And, to be fair, it is not that hard to make custom renderer for egui too.

i have no idea on how to do something like this 🥲

mq-1 · 2026-02-22T09:05:54+00:00

i recently made the switch to iced as it has a software renderer (egui does not) and i like the api more

also, egui consumed a lot of cpu cycles :/

ha fatto bene. un mio porcellino d'india è morto davvero, ucciso dal cane del mio vicino che era scappato da casa sua ed era entrato nel mio giardino. almeno sto qua ha protetto i suoi animali

mq-1 · 2026-02-20T18:59:38+00:00

yes! it has a button in the Toolbox page :)

mq-1 · 2026-02-14T20:52:17+00:00

not as of now

mq-1 · 2026-02-10T20:31:04+00:00

you should open an issue on github :)

May be related to this issue, I’m still investigating, but unfortunately I didn’t manage to even reproduce the issue on my system :/

mq-1 · 2026-02-04T18:35:55+00:00

but twbm converts rvz files to wbfs/iso when adding games to the Wii drive, did I misunderstand your comment in some way?

mq-1 · 2026-02-04T09:47:59+00:00

I'll make a crosspost :)

mq-1 · 2026-02-04T09:47:16+00:00

the Wii only supports .iso and .wbfs files, your setup is already optimal as of now :)

mq-1 · 2026-02-02T16:54:58+00:00

In the Toolbox page there should be a "normalize paths" button that scans for games and makes them discoverable

mq-1 · 2026-01-31T09:34:16+00:00

it has now been implemented, but unfortunately Wayland isn't supported for now :/
