Built modular, SVG-skinnable analog clocks, battery status & dynamic weather widgets for GNOME Shell (Gridgets fork)

Hey everyone!

I've been using Gridgets on GNOME Shell, but really missed a few key desktop widgets and customization options. Since upstream wasn't ready to merge them yet, I ended up building them in a fork:

  • Modular Analog Clock: Fully skinnable by simply dropping an SVG folder into the skins directory (it auto-discovers skins and builds the UI selector dynamically). Supports smooth minute-aligned rendering, separate center cap rendering, and optional second hands.
  • Transparent / Floating Mode: Added a toggle to drop the widget container background box, letting the clock float cleanly over the desktop wallpaper.
  • Battery Status Widget: Live power & charging stats directly on the desktop grid.
  • Enhanced Weather Widget: Live weather metrics with Open-Meteo support and cleaner visual layouts.

You can grab the code, try it out, or drop your own SVG clock faces into it here:

Battery Status & New Weather widgets for Gridgets extension

https://preview.redd.it/lsv7wtnqgnoh1.png?width=467&format=png&auto=webp&s=5049946cadb9ec9397dfdd60b0f088913ccac9ed

I've been working on a couple of custom widgets for the Gridgets desktop extension, and I'd love to share them and get some feedback.

1. Battery Status Widget (inspired by Windows 11 style)

  • Shows the host PC battery alongside connected Bluetooth devices (headsets, mice, keyboards) with icons and real-time charging status.
  • Built on top of upower to prevent GJS/UPowerGlib segfaults.
  • Scales cleanly across Small (4x4), Medium (5x5), and Large (6x6) grid sizes.

2. Forecast Bars Weather Widget

  • A compact daily forecast view with horizontal temperature bars and weather condition indicators.

Both widgets fit natively into the Gridgets design language and auto-scale to the grid layout.

Feedback and feature ideas are welcome!

Kajarendelés

Na pá!

Jöttem rantolni.

Nem írom le az étterem nevét, de a mai leves megint ehetetlen volt. Lassan minden hétre jut egy-két nap amikor éhes maradok, mert ehetetlen az ebéd amit kiszállítanak.

4-5 helyet szoktam nézni és kiválasztás után reménykedek, hogy ehető lesz.

Más is észrevette, hogy egyre hitványabb a minőség?

Lassan tényleg az marad hogy minden nap meki lesz, mert az ugyan szar de stabilan ugyanolyan szar.

Ki honnan szerzi be az ebédet, ha nem akar hideget enni viszont a házi koszt se megoldás.

apple weather widgets

I made an apple weather widget.

How much demand would there be for it to be uploaded to github?

Simple notes extension

This is my first gnome project

A modern fork and rewrite based on Romain F. T.'s original Notes extension idea.

I used the colors of windows notes. Unfortunately I couldn't solve the formatting, I don't think cutter can.

So it became a simple notes app.

Vas palacsinta sütő mint tárcsa?

Üdv!

Van egy vas palacsinta sütőm. Az az ötletem támadt, hogy úgy használnám a tűzhelyen mintha tárcsáznék. Azaz az olajat v. zsírt felhevítem azt bele a pácolt hús.

Csinálta már valaki?

Hi everyone,

I've just finished a fresh install of Debian 13 (Trixie), and I'm running into a frustrating issue with Google Chrome's GTK theme integration under Wayland.

The issue:

While the system-wide dark mode works for native apps, Chrome's "GTK" theme setting is stuck on a light theme. If I switch to the "Classic" theme, it follows the system's light/dark preference correctly, but the actual GTK integration (which I prefer for consistent title bars and menus) remains bright white.

My Environment:

OS: Debian 13 (Trixie)
Desktop Environment: GNOME (Wayland)
Browser: Google Chrome Stable
GTK Theme: Adwaita-dark/adw-gtk3

What I've tried:

Setting Preferred Ozone Platform to Wayland in chrome://flags.
Running with --force-dark-mode.
Verified that xdg-desktop-portal-gnome is installed and running.

Has anyone found a workaround for Debian 13 to make Chrome correctly pick up the GTK dark theme settings on Wayland? Is there a specific environment variable I should be exporting in my .bashrc or .profile?

Thanks in advance!
