   - Created proper `input_manager_destroy()` function for virtual keyboard cleanup

-### 13. **UI Rendering Issues** ⚠️ (Partially Fixed)
-- **Status Bar**: No text displayed - renders to Cairo surface but displays colored rectangle
-- **Wallpaper**: No image displayed - renders to Cairo surface but displays colored rectangle
-- **Window Layering**: Status bar appears behind windows - moved to layer 3 (OVERLAY)
+### 13. **UI Rendering Issues** ✅ (Completed)
+- **Status Bar**: ✅ Fixed - now displays actual text content using proper buffer implementation
+- **Wallpaper**: ✅ Fixed - now displays actual image content using proper buffer implementation
+- **Window Layering**: ✅ Fixed - status bar appears in correct OVERLAY layer
 
-**Technical Analysis**:
-- Status bar creates Cairo surface and renders text properly
-- Wallpaper creates Cairo surface and renders image properly
-- **Core Problem**: Both use `wlr_scene_rect_create()` instead of proper scene buffer from Cairo surface
-- **Solution Required**: Implement proper wlroots buffer creation from Cairo surfaces
+**Technical Solution**:
+- Implemented custom `wlr_buffer_impl` for both status bar and wallpaper components
+- Created proper Cairo surface → wlroots buffer → scene buffer pipeline
+- Both components now use `wlr_scene_buffer_create()` with actual rendered content
+- Fixed buffer data copying from Cairo surfaces to wlroots buffers
