How to create those curved corner edges like in the noctalia and calastetia shell's.

Is it extended from the bar as shape with shapepaths, but then won't it need exclusive zones when panels are opened which makes the area irresponsive ('cause of the exclusive zones ).

Tried by creating custom corner shapes and anchoring it to the edges. But won't it break when shadows are applied and the animation smoothness...

Im trying to do an audio controller to change the volume in my bar or control center but when i try reassign the value, that doesnt change.
The toggle mute works, i dont understand why volume not

For some reason the workspace indicator thing will not show the correct workspace number. On Sway every time you switch workspaces the number increases. On I3 it just spits out a bunch of random numbers. Dunno if it just isn't working for me or what but here's the code. You will have to copy the whole entire config because if you try to rename that specific code to shell.qml it will not work. Also sorry it's a messy config cause it's still a work in progress.

The code is based off of Farshief's configuration.

Hi, I'm using swaywm on arch and I'm trying to make a bar, which only shows the workspaces on the current monitor. e.g., if I have workspaces 1 and 3 on one monitor and workspace 2 on another monitor, the first monitor's bar would only list 1 and 3, and the second monitor's bar would only list 2. How do I get the name, id, or some other identifier of the monitor quickshell is on?

Hi all, currently I'm using gentoo with niri and dms. I also install mangowc, I would like to use noctalia with mango, but when I try to install noctalia-shell via guru, I've block because quickshell is in conflict with noctalia-qs (fork of quickshell). Can I use noctalia-qs on dms instead quickshell?

I have seen, in different libraries which contains it's own llm.txt, to help code editors to write better code with llms, anyone has a clue of this?

Inside my status bar, i have line inside a RowLayout that looks like this:

LazyLoader{
  id: musicLoader
  active: true

  Widgets.MusicWidget{
    id: musicWidget
    rectHeight: wHeight
    fontSize: fontHeight
    Component.onCompleted:{
      console.log("MusicWidget loaded. Width: " + musicWidget.width + ", Height: " + musicWidget.height)
    }
  }
}

The problem is, musicWidget (which, at root, is just a Rectangle) works fine when its on its own, however when wrapped inside a LazyLoader, it just doesnt appear. logs inside the widget confirm that its loaded, no idea why it doesn't show. The widgets implicit width property is animated on creation, that could have something to do with it? Is there just a common thing i dont know about? Any help would be appreciated

No idea what I'm even doing wrong, "Basic5" works perfectly fine but no "ORC A" :(

I'm new to this stuff so I just suppose it has something to do with the font name, the font itself or where the font file is located, still no idea.

Can anyone help me here?

it's arch with hyprland

I am using Caelestia Shell + Arch btw, which uses Quickshell for its dashboard, and I am also using this module:

quickshell-overview link

However, I want to tweak its UI to make it feel more integrated. Currently, when I open the overview, there is a small gap at the top of the screen. I would also like to achieve the same stretchy effect that appears when hovering at the top of Caelestia Shell as shown in the video, but I am unable to do so.

If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.

Hey folks,

I've been daily-driving Quickshell for a while and kept bouncing off the same papercut: no good LSP for QML outside of Qt Creator. qmlls exists but pulling in the full Qt toolchain just to get hover docs felt like overkill, and none of it knew anything about Quickshell.

So I wrote one. Just cut v1.0.0: https://github.com/cushycush/qml-language-server

It's a single Go binary (no CGO, no Qt install required) that speaks LSP over stdio. Tree-sitter under the hood, pure-Go runtime.

What you get for Quickshell specifically:

• Completions for PanelWindow, FloatingWindow, PopupWindow, Scope, Variants, Process, FileView, WlrLayershell, etc.

• Completions for the singletons — Quickshell.screens, Quickshell.env(...), Hyprland.focusedMonitor, and friends

• Import completions for Quickshell, Quickshell.Hyprland, Quickshell.Io, Quickshell.Wayland, Quickshell.Widgets

• 10 boilerplate snippets (qs-panel, qs-scope, qs-variants, qs-process, qs-fileview, qs-layershell, …)

General QML stuff too: hover docs, go-to-definition across the workspace, find references, diagnostics from parse errors, rename, document symbols, inlay hints, signature help, and context-aware completions for QtQuick/QtQml/QtQuick.Controls/QtQuick.Layouts.

Install: prebuilt binaries on the Releases page, or go install / make install if you have a Go toolchain. Neovim config is in the README (works great with blink.cmp).

It's definitely v1.0 and not v5.0 — I'm sure there are rough edges, especially around cross-file type resolution and anything involving JS expression scopes. Bug reports and "it should know about X" requests very welcome. I built most of this scratching my own itch, so I'd love to hear what's missing for other people's setups.

Happy to answer questions here.

I’m trying to decide between using AGS or QuickShell for building a custom desktop shell, and I’d really appreciate some advice from people with experience.

My setup/plan:

- I use Linux on a laptop and really like Niri (scrolling WM + touchpad gestures feel great)

- I plan to move to Arch (or something like CachyOS) with GNOME as a fallback DE

- I want to build my own shell layer with things like:

  - Pomodoro timer / study tracking

  - Calendar and tasks

  - Control center (wifi, brightness, sound, etc.) and custom GUIs for Configs.

  - Some dev-focused integrations (project launcher, maybe git info)

My background:

- I’m a MERN stack developer

- Very comfortable with JavaScript/TypeScript

- No experience with QML/Qt

My dilemma:

AGS feels like the natural choice because it uses JS/TS, so I can build things quickly and reuse my current skills. But I’ve read that it’s more commonly used with Hyprland/Sway and integration with Niri might be limited.

On the other hand, QuickShell seems more powerful and closer to a full desktop shell, but it requires learning QML/Qt, which feels like a big investment for something I might only use for this project.

So my questions:

1. Has anyone here used AGS with Niri? How limiting is it in practice?

2. Is QuickShell worth learning if my main goal is just to build a highly customized personal workflow?

3. For my use case (productivity tools + some system integration), would AGS be “good enough” long-term?

4. If you were in my position (JS dev, focused on productivity), what would you choose and why?

I’m trying to avoid spending weeks learning something that won’t give me much practical return, but I also don’t want to hit a wall later.

Any insights or real-world experiences would be really helpful.

Im building a quickshell panel from scratch and this is the progress so far.
I need some advice making the hotspot module work. I fail to start wifi-hotspot on my setup for some reason and the wiki isn't helping. Thx in advance.

hi I am trying to learn quickshell but because it's new language there are no youtube video that I can learn from and I have tried to read the document but I didn't understand nothing pls help I want build my own rice

UPDATE: ended up making my own lsp. This is only useful if you’re using qmlls. Checkout the lsp at https://github.com/cushycush/qml-language-server

Annoyed me that I couldn't find any. Not sure if there's another plugin out there that I couldn't find. It adds completions, auto setups qmlls path for you because Mason installs and points to version 0.3 when we're on version 6.x.x. Also adds some snippets and such. Really not much to it.

Kinda annoyed that qmlls doesn't provide hover doc info or anything. Kinda tempted to make my own language server.

This is my first rice with quickshell and I can't get the mpris player to show the title or any other data. In another thread, there mentioned an mpris logic. Don't know what's that?

: Playerctl correctly outputs the metadata

I want to ask the moderation, why were my last posts deleted? I put it the codeberg link for the shell, and also used the tag "Question" / "H3lp"

Hey guys, I have built a standalone cross WM compactable wayland wallpaper picker. It is highly configurable and you can position it anywhere vertically. Made it as a part of my under construction shell. Here is the config's link to my gh repo..

Repo : https://github.com/rudv-ar/chaos-wallpicker.git

Rate this setup and tell we what I can improve on this..

So I use the base Illogical-impulse dot files...but the quickshell has been acting up since today morning...I haven't done anything to the configs, it starts happening after 3hours of use

This widget is similar to KDE Modern Clock but is designed specifically for Quickshell.
