Iced - Nova Widgets Library

This crate contains additional widgets for the GUI library Iced.

Intro

The project started when I decided to write a desktop application to learn Rust. To be honest, I have a longer way to go. Anyway, after taking a look at the several GUI libraries available, I decided to stick with Iced. However, I miss a few widgets and helpers to achieve my desired look and feel.

The development of the library will continue to be developed in parallel with my other application, which also uses iced_aw, so additional widgets will be added as needed.

Key features:

• Native Rust and Iced implementation
• Native support for Iced themes
• Uses template-defined color patterns (e.g., background, foreground, primary).
• Avoids hardcoding specific color values for greater adaptability.
• Ensures consistency with the current theme or style of the interface.

Usage

Include iced_aw as a dependency in your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
iced = "0.13.1"
iced_nova = "0.0.1"

Widgets

Rectangle

This component renders a rectangle by leveraging the color patterns defined in the template (e.g., background, primary, or accent colors) instead of using absolute color values. It inherits the template's theme, ensuring a consistent appearance across different UI elements. By relying on these theme-defined colors, the component remains flexible and visually cohesive within the broader interface design.
