I love noctalia shell

That being said I shouldn't have to use advanced scripting to accomplish a lower sized "am/pm" and to move the clock away from the edge. I love the versatility of what you can do with it though. I wish I could tell you this only took me a few moments to configure but that's kinda on me and my ocd. I love how if you use the color scheme creator plugin , and you select a wallpaper as a favorite, you can then choose and it will automatically pull that same color theme you had when you set it. That's pretty cool if you tend to switch colors / wallpapers fairly often.

Quickshell Quickshell Everywhere! Don't Know Where It Goes!!

A bit of exposition : I am a programmer (python) have used linux (ubuntu, mint) for some 5 years on and off. Now I'm on a new adventure to escape microslop, so installed cachyos (needed the nvidia drrivers) with COSMIC, found out it sucks (personal opinion) and got myself into the rabbit hole of Hyprland with quickshell. Already made a semi-usable bar with the help of Almighty ChatGPT! And now its do or die, this rabbit hole is going to be my grave.

tl;dr I'm not shy of learning to code. I don't know everything about linux, but I can google-fu/gpt-fu my way around it.

I'm trying to make an entire system using quickshell (I know, too ambitious). App launcher, bar, system monitor, weather app, file manager, you name it; If the user (its only be me) faces it and its not a browser or terminal, I want it made in quickshell. Sooooo......where does it all go? I know the bar goes to `~/.config/quickshell`, but it somehow feels wrong to put anything else there. And the Almighty ChatGPT has be glazing me so much, that I might end up thinking I am a GOD...so I'm asking the sane ppl in reddit. A simple dummy project/directory structure for a, say settings (window? app? shell?) would be very helpful...

Wanna contribute to make a shell ?

So I am making an ARCH+HYPRLAND distro (not just dots), called N0ctOS Currently only 2 people are working on this project, me (mostly all stuff), and my friend (made the website and working on some tools)

I am 16, and have studies... so I can't do it all myself... so I need contributors..

so the project philosophy is "Arch, made simple for humans"... it will be a beginner friendly distro (like Omarchy, though it is technically an install script)

this is a actually project and not just a side hobby proj...

*** WHAT I AM SEEKING FOR ?? ***

I want some people to contribute to make a Quickshell based shell...

bar will be Waybar (I have made that already)... but I am thinking to convert to Quickshell.. the css is there any can be used (as reference)

but other UI elems, like

  1. wifi/BT/sound menu

  2. a central panel (center top/bottom) which has

- overview (pfp, media small, system resources, power, calander, notification)

- all as a box (japanese bento box)

- media (separate tab)

- notification (separate tab)

  1. a quick menu ( top/bottom right, fill screen if needed)

- works as a quick access menu

- clipboard, wallpaper switcher etc...

- features will be added as the project progress

So if u are interested, then plz DM me... either on here or discord (n0ctane._.dev)

## for mods

if giving discord use name violates any rules, then let me know, I will remove that ASAP.. but plz don't delete the post

[bspwm] caelestia for x11?

Nope. We cannot make exact copy. But I am trying to make one. Welcoming contributions.

Able to run smoothly (ignore lagging due to recording in background) in intel dual core, legacy pheonix bios. 2 gb ddr2 ram memory.

idle ram usage : 800-840 mb

shell startup time : 30 seconds (intentional delay in my case)

Currently - zero issues - works in my machine.

Caelestia for X11 Bspwm?

Hello guys, successfully I have ported "some" looks of caelestia combined with end 4 to my x11 shell. I named it aevum shell (previously it ws rudv-shell, now migrated to this new repo). It would be better if someone is able to join me in creating this. I first tested it in bspwm and works pretty well.

Here is the link to the repo : https://github.com/rudv-ar/aevum-shell.git

I will be adding the images ASAP.

CircuitousTwo dials knock-off in Quickshell

I used to use Rainmeter on Windows and anyone who's used it will likely recognise CircuitousTwo's system monitor radial dials. It was exceedingly popular when I first started using Rainmeter and now that I've moved from Windows to KDE to niri with Quickshell I find myself wanting fun dials like I used to have and able to make them. They hide until hovered on by default, and I have an IPC call to show them. For performance, when they're not visible they do not run their processes (though this setting is toggleable). I'm still working on some more dials but it's good to have them back.

Need a teacher for teaching quickshell

Hello my dear fellow programmers and developers. The title might seem quite vague and spoonfeeding, but for the love of me, i am just unable to learn quickshell. I use Arch with Hyprland and i have been using waybar since the beginning, and recently, i came across shells like Caelestia and Ambxst and some others, but those are really complex and i also want to make something visually pleasing and something that is also more performant and open. I have taken inspiration from this person's Shell setup and i have been trying to use claude, gemini, notebooklm and chatgpt to help me learn this, but i just cannot get myself to actually understand what is going on. I tried to read the documentation, but most of it just doesn't make sense at all. I am used to the arch wiki but quickshell's documentation doesn't even come close to it, and sorry for saying this, i might just be dumb, but i cannot understand even one thing in there.

I would really appreciate if anyone would be able to mentor me or help me understand it and eventually let me build a good-looking quickshell setup.

Really thanks to anyone who is willing to do so.
