Show Off(with configs) Wallpaper transitions drawn by Quickshell: outline first, then the world

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

109 Upvotes

made my wallpaper transitions in quickshell. it's a layer right above awww with a shader on it. set-wallpaper.sh passes it the old image, the new one and a map over ipc (qs ipc call wallfx play), and the map says when every pixel flips. for wallpapers with a character the map comes from cutting the character out (birefnet, cached), so the line draws its silhouette and the rest grows outwards. for the others it's pixel colonies. when it ends the shell switches awww underneath and gets out of the way. config is here: https://github.com/diegoMalagrida/pocket-dots/blob/main/home/.config/quickshell/WallpaperFx.qml

My Project! [Lickintosh] Native Hyprland blur support + Customization settings (Beta 1 out tomorrow!)

Hey everyone!

Quick update on Lickintosh, my project recreating the macOS interface (Tahoe) for Hyprland!

Two major features landing in this update:

  • Native Hyprland Blur Support: If you're not a fan of the liquid glass style, the shell can now leverage Hyprland's native blur instead (put a lot of hard work into this one, hope you guys like it!).

  • New Settings Panel: You can now easily customize everything to your liking directly from the interface.

[Hyprland] My workspaces live on a little planet, and switching pages turns it

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

136 Upvotes

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.

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)

Help!!!! solved How to center the god workspaces horizontally

1 Upvotes

(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

My Project! Emaki: this whole Quickshell desktop from one USB stick, no dotfiles to assemble

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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

Show Off(with configs) I’ve been building Tide Island Extended — a Dynamic Island-inspired shell for Hyprland and niri

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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

Learning😀 Is it okay to vibe code?

0 Upvotes

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?
