rice my mac again today, but with improvements:

problems i started facing from the earlier version:

the animation widgets (murmuration, turing, diffusion, attractor, the inkdrop/waves) were consuming up a ridiculous amount of battery - like my battery went from 100% to 20% in less than 4 hours (from ~8 hours before) just with these, because all were running in parallel. and i wasn't looking at them all the time, anyway. not at the same time, in the least.

i just felt. so many widgets are essentially in the same system, doing different systems (the simulations/animations, clock and calendar, storage and the neofetch/fastfetch widgets) - that version, i think, coherence was low, lol. i din't like it much.

how i fixed them:

put all sims in one widget - stacked it like apple widgets. with one click, all sims can be shuffled through! this fixed the battery problem since only one of the widgets were constantly animating (/refreshing) at a time, so less resources of battery and memory used! doing this gave me my battery back lol.

put clock and calendar in the same widget - same thing as the above, more visual coherence across the system.

combined the storage and fastfetch widgets - same principle as the above. four stacks - system information, ascii art, battery, storage. again, more aesthetic lmao.

made the folders widget a sleek little line instead of the block it was before.

made the quote circular to accommodate the widgets and the space between them better.

added the same hover effect to everything.

added: my summer plans and my future plans, since i had the entire right side empty as my canvas, and i couldn't think of a better system than this.
