# Evidence
|
||
|
||
## 1. Innovative
|
||
|
||
- The shell applies one custom QML geometry and print system across panels,
|
||
backdrops, motion, and textures (`quickshell/config/Theme.qml:118-153`,
|
||
`quickshell/components/P5Panel.qml:7-56`).
|
||
- This refreshes standard desktop bars/popovers, but the interaction model is
|
||
still conventional bar + rail + popup + modal.
|
||
|
||
## 2. Useful
|
||
|
||
- The permanent bar exposes workspaces, active window, media, resources, and
|
||
time in one slab (`quickshell/bar/Bar.qml:67-122`).
|
||
- Power and lock are keyboard-operable; bar, rail, tray, and most pop-out
|
||
actions remain pointer-only (`quickshell/overlays/PowerMenu.qml:242-261`,
|
||
`quickshell/lock/LockFace.qml:290-311`,
|
||
`quickshell/bar/RailIcon.qml:104-124`).
|
||
- The primary surfaces contain at least 41 interactive targets; the live total
|
||
grows with workspaces, devices, streams, notifications, and tray entries.
|
||
|
||
## 3. Aesthetic
|
||
|
||
- A clear system exists: spacing `[6,12,20,32]`, type
|
||
`[9,11,12,15,20,34,92]`, 12 literal palette colors, one nominal 14° angle,
|
||
and shared 10px cuts (`quickshell/config/Theme.qml:19-49,92-148`).
|
||
- Runtime type exceptions include 8, 30, 42, and 156.4px; local geometry also
|
||
introduces several non-token cuts and leans.
|
||
- White on crimson is 3.68:1 and fails normal-text AA where selected destructive
|
||
actions or unread badges use that pairing
|
||
(`quickshell/components/P5Button.qml:32-73`,
|
||
`quickshell/bar/NotifButton.qml:38-58`).
|
||
- Screenshot #1: permanent chrome is visually continuous and disciplined, but
|
||
competes with an already high-contrast Persona wallpaper/frame.
|
||
- Screenshot #2: the left headline/right action-stack composition is strong;
|
||
the repeated stripe field and still-legible desktop behind it dilute focus.
|
||
|
||
## 4. Understandable
|
||
|
||
- The power screen labels all actions and prints its keyboard map
|
||
(`quickshell/overlays/PowerMenu.qml:31-38,216-261`).
|
||
- Rail icons expose different left/right/middle/scroll behaviors without visible
|
||
instruction (`quickshell/bar/Rail.qml:76-132`).
|
||
- Several state labels behave as inverse actions: “Wi-Fi On,” Bluetooth “On,”
|
||
“Scanning,” and “Silenced” toggle those states off.
|
||
- “WHO GOES THERE,” “WRONG,” “HELD,” “PROCS,” “VRAM,” and unlabeled load values
|
||
favor voice or jargon over immediate comprehension.
|
||
|
||
## 5. Unobtrusive
|
||
|
||
- Normal chrome consumes only a 40px top bar and 48px right rail
|
||
(`quickshell/config/Theme.qml:109-116`).
|
||
- The full-screen modes add stripes, a wedge, oversized split text, attribution,
|
||
six slabs, and a hint simultaneously
|
||
(`quickshell/overlays/PowerMenu.qml:50-228`).
|
||
- Twelve action identities are repeated between permanent chrome and detail
|
||
panels; repetition improves reach but adds competing affordances.
|
||
|
||
## 6. Honest
|
||
|
||
- No marketing inflation or dark patterns were found. Power labels map directly
|
||
to their system action (`quickshell/overlays/PowerMenu.qml:31-38,230-239`).
|
||
- “n HELD” counts all history rather than suppressed items
|
||
(`quickshell/popouts/NotifPopout.qml:27`,
|
||
`quickshell/services/Notifs.qml:36-44`).
|
||
- Muted OSDs display 0% even when stored volume remains nonzero
|
||
(`quickshell/overlays/Osd.qml:51-64,172-185`).
|
||
- A visually disabled slider can still emit changes
|
||
(`quickshell/components/P5Slider.qml:9-12,48-84`).
|
||
|
||
## 7. Long-lasting
|
||
|
||
- The system is based on reusable primitives rather than per-screen decoration.
|
||
- Literal `P5` branding, the quote attribution, and the esports-like continuous
|
||
frame tie the result closely to one entertainment reference and visual era
|
||
(`quickshell/bar/Sigil.qml:31`,
|
||
`quickshell/overlays/PowerMenu.qml:88-118`).
|
||
|
||
## 8. Thorough
|
||
|
||
- Empty, loading, failure, focus, and disabled states exist.
|
||
- A rendered success state is absent; generic buttons lack a disabled state;
|
||
focus treatment is concentrated in power and lock; explicit accessible names
|
||
and roles total zero (`quickshell/components/P5Button.qml:6-107`).
|
||
- The lock’s disabled state is clear, but `P5Slider` can look disabled while
|
||
remaining interactive.
|
||
|
||
## 9. Environmentally friendly
|
||
|
||
- The shell has 0 JavaScript bytes, about 259KB of QML, 1.4KB of local texture
|
||
assets, no declared HTTP request, and a measured load proxy below two seconds.
|
||
- Seven Fluxo reads recur in polling batches; playing media creates 3–6 idle
|
||
animation loops (`quickshell/services/Sys.qml:78-102`,
|
||
`quickshell/bar/MediaPill.qml:125-153`).
|
||
- No reduced-motion branch exists (`quickshell/config/Theme.qml:139-148`).
|
||
|
||
## 10. As little design as possible
|
||
|
||
- The one-slab bar avoids a row of redundant cards
|
||
(`quickshell/bar/Bar.qml:8-14,40-63`).
|
||
- The audited tree reaches seven declarative levels, contains twelve repeated
|
||
action identities, and includes removable atmospheric elements in modal and
|
||
lock compositions.
|
||
- The permanent surface, transient surface, and cinematic surface currently
|
||
share too much of the same visual intensity instead of forming a hierarchy.
|
||
|
||
## Known gaps
|
||
|
||
- Dynamic application strings, device counts, and menu depth cannot be fixed
|
||
from static source.
|
||
- Exact compositor frame time, GPU cost, and live accessibility-tree output
|
||
were not available.
|
||
- Screenshot evidence covers the normal desktop and power overlay; lock-screen
|
||
judgments also use its implementation source.
