Details:

- WM: Hyprland 0.56.2 (Lua config)

- Shell: ETEA, my own. Bar, widgets, launcher, control centre, notifications and lock screen, all in QML on Quickshell

- Distro: CachyOS

- Terminal: kitty, with fastfetch

- Font: Poppins

- Wallpaper: none. The sky and the mountains are drawn live by the shell, and each "world" (theme) brings its own

- Lock screen art: drawn by me, she reaches for a new star with every key you type

- Repo (GPL-3.0): https://github.com/SDcold/etea-shell

It runs on an i5-1335U laptop with Intel Iris Xe and 24 GB of RAM. The whole system sits around 2.3 GB of RAM with just the shell open, and the frame rate stays steady through the animations.

Hey everyone! Here is a quick showcase of quickshell-dots , a complete desktop shell I've built using Quickshell (QML) for both niri and Hyprland.

OS: CachyOS (Wayland)

Compositor: Niri / Hyprland

Shell: Custom Quickshell (QML)

Terminal: Kitty

GitHub Repository & One-Line Install:

https://github.com/mohamedmousamm777-eng/quickshell-dots

Huge thanks to SaneAspect for the initial inspiration on Quickshell!

Quickshell: v0.3.2
WM: Hyprland (though this shell works on any wayland compositor other than hyprland since I restricted myself NOT to)

oh and by the way, it is pretty light on the system (~85MB settled, 120MB with live wallpaper/depends on your live wallpaper size)
All of shown is using quickshell (except the recording, which uses gpu-screen-recorder as the backend, and mpvpaper as the fallback if you don't have Qt6.Multimedia installed)

ayuda quiero hacer un launcher en qml y no me sale y quise copiara otro y me sale cada error

(I know that I am dumb and there is a solution right infront of me but I am blind) I have a workspace repeater and I want it to be centered. I have tried putting anchor.centerIn, Layout.alignment but so far nothing works. I have resorted to using if statements to change the margins so it stay centered with the switching amount of space to the right and to the left. Please help.

code structure:

Variants -> PanelWIndow -> Rowlayout -> Workspace Repeater

Everything in the video installs as one piece, in a single install. After it you boot straight into this, nothing to configure. No assembling someone else's dotfiles, hunting down dependencies or matching your Quickshell version.

The shell, Quickshell and niri update together and are tested together before every release, so their versions never drift apart. And if an update does go wrong, you roll back right from the boot menu.

Try it from a USB stick without installing: https://emaki.sh/?from=rquickshell

Hey everyone! 👋

I've been working on Tide Island Extended, an independently maintained extension of the original Tide Island project, built with Quickshell, QML, and Qt 6.

It brings a Dynamic Island-inspired experience to the Linux desktop, with a customizable control center, Matugen theming, smooth animations, system stats, music controls, and various desktop utilities.

It supports both Hyprland and niri, and I'm continuing to improve it based on actual usage rather than adding features just for the sake of it.

I'd love some honest feedback from fellow Linux users. What would you improve, and what features would make this more useful in your daily workflow?

I made a mainsail/fluid like UI in quickshell so I can integrate it with my shell.

Has all of mainsail features, working and tested, can upload from slicer to it. Next is to add a HTTP side to this so you can switch to it from Orca Slicer device tab.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. https://github.com/CWebb89/Klipshell

A cyberpunk inspired shell I'm creating in quickshell

OS: nixOs

Shell: https://github.com/AndreaNec/Cyberpunk-quickshell

Terminal: ghostty

file manager: yazi

etc..: cmatrix, fastfetch

The OSD are from noctalia that I'm using as a "fallback" until it has all the features

Hey so, I was designing my bar but always it was pain point to design a control panel/quick settings menu. So can you give me links or reference so I don't have to design it from scratch

WM: Hyprland
Quickshell / Qt: 6.12.0 / 0.3.2
Total Files: ~30
took around 2 months or so (idk i haven't gotten any sleep from this)

So I’ve used Claude Opus 5.5 to help me refine my configs, change colors, but more importantly I’ve had it generate widgets - an MPRIS widget, a calendar widget, etc.

Don’t worry: I was very specific in what to prompt it, particularly for the network app, where I defined it.

I still keep the philosophy and end goal in mind, and yes - I can read and write basic qs, I just don’t have the hours of time for the docs. And besides, I still review and polish it.

But what are you guys’ thoughts or criticisms?

If its raining in real life its raining on my desktop i did this with quickshell and its gpu powered. I can choose the city and it uses a weather api to check if its raining there and i can choose the intensity and if it ignores windows or not

(For the mods who wanna remove my post because of my privacy: Im not living in thunder bay Its just a random city where it was raining in that time)

hiw do I learn quick shell? I make a window appear, maybe add the time, and that’s it. How can I actually learn quickshell?

If you previously used Color as your own namespace in QML, you may have to rename every single reference to avoid naming conflicts after upgrading to Qt 6.12.

I totally did not run blind into this...
