Partial While a native macOS widget display app in Swift is straightforward to vibe code, parsing, interpreting, and rendering legacy Rainmeter skins (an intricate custom INI-based DSL with dynamic variables, math evaluators, and complex graphic meters) requires significant low-level reimplementation.
What it would actually take: The stack would typically consist of Swift, AppKit/SwiftUI, and Metal/CoreGraphics for rendering. The core challenge is building a full parser and execution runtime compatible with Rainmeter's custom config syntax, including dynamic formulas, section variables, and meter layouts without Windows Win32 APIs. This requires deep systems programming and reverse-engineering of Rainmeter's internal state machine.
