Takemi

A Persona 5 flavoured Quickshell desktop for Hyprland. Cold teal and near-black pulled from ~/.wallpapers/takemi_2.jpg, with crimson as the accent voice. Everything leans, corners are chopped rather than rounded, and headings carry the wallpaper's RGB split.

Replaces Waybar, dunst and hyprlock.

Running

qs                       # starts the shell (Hyprland does this via autostart.conf)
qs -p lockpreview.qml    # the lock screen in an ordinary window, for styling

Hyprland starts it from ~/.config/hypr/modules/autostart.conf.

Layout

shell.qml        entrypoint — one bar, power menu, toasts and OSD per screen
config/          palette, type scale, geometry, motion curves
components/      the P5 primitives: panels, gauges, sliders, split-ink text
services/        data sources, all singletons
bar/             the bar and its modules
popouts/         hover panels hanging off bar modules
overlays/        power menu, notification toasts, volume/brightness OSD
lock/            session lock
assets/          halftone and stripe tiles, generated with ImageMagick

P5Panel is the base surface everything sits on. It does not auto-size — callers set implicit sizes from their own layout (row.implicitWidth + contentPad * 2), which keeps the shape maths out of binding loops.

Bar

Module	Left click	Right click	Middle	Scroll	Hover
Sigil	app menu	reload shell
Workspaces	switch
CPU/MEM/GPU	btop				resource dashboard
Media	play/pause	next	raise player	next/prev	full player
Clock	pin calendar				calendar
Tray	activate	app menu	secondary
Network	pin panel	toggle Wi-Fi	nm-connection-editor		networks
Bluetooth	pin panel	toggle adapter			devices
Volume	mute	pin panel	pavucontrol	volume	audio mixer
Mic	mute	pin panel		mic volume	audio mixer
Brightness				brightness
Battery	pin panel				power detail
Bell	history + mark read	do not disturb			history
Power	power menu

Popouts open on a short dwell and stay while the pointer is over the trigger or the panel. Clicking pins one open.

Keybinds

Set in ~/.config/hypr/modules/keybinds.conf:

Super+Ctrl+L — lock
Super+P — power menu
Super+Shift+N — toggle do not disturb
Super+Ctrl+Shift+N — clear notifications
Super+Shift+R — reload the shell

All of these go through Quickshell's IPC, so they work from any script:

qs ipc call shell lock
qs ipc call shell power
qs ipc call shell toggleDnd
qs ipc call shell clearNotifications
qs ipc call shell reloadConfig

Data sources

Hardware telemetry comes from fluxo, whose hardware modules are configured to emit raw pipe-delimited values rather than display strings — services/Sys.qml parses them and does its own formatting. The previous human-readable Waybar formats are preserved in ~/.config/fluxo/config.toml.waybar-bak.

Everything else is native: PipeWire for audio, BlueZ for bluetooth, NetworkManager for Wi-Fi, UPower for battery, MPRIS for media, and Quickshell's own notification server. These are event-driven, so the bar and OSD react the instant a volume key is pressed instead of on the next poll.

Lock screen

Authenticates through /etc/pam.d/hyprlock, which on this box is just auth include login. The visuals live in lock/LockFace.qml so they can be styled in an ordinary window (qs -p lockpreview.qml) without locking the session.

If the shell ever dies while the session is locked, the compositor keeps the session secured by protocol and there is no unlocker left to talk to — recovery means restarting Hyprland from a TTY.

What was retired

waybar.service — disabled. Its config is still in ~/.config/waybar.
dunst.service — masked, so it cannot be D-Bus activated and steal org.freedesktop.Notifications. Undo with systemctl --user unmask dunst.service.
hyprlock — no longer bound. hyprlock.conf is untouched.

Optional

power-profiles-daemon is not installed (TLP is), so the power-profile switching in services/Battery.qml stays dormant. Nothing else depends on it.

The display face is Adwaita Sans Black Italic, which is what was already on the box. A heavy condensed grotesque — Anton, Archivo Black, Oswald — would land closer to the real Persona 5 type. Change Theme.fontDisplay and everything follows.
