# Takemi — YoRHa dark
|
||
|
||
A NieR:Automata flavoured Quickshell desktop for Hyprland, kept dark and lit
|
||
like its wallpaper: a lone figure at a porthole, the void outside, one planet's
|
||
light. The planet white for anything live, the hull red for anything wrong,
|
||
grey-green for everything else. Hairlines, small dots, soft rounded corners,
|
||
letter-spaced capitals, and selection shown by inverting the row. The bar, the
|
||
rail and a thin border are one hull around the desktop, and the desktop is the
|
||
porthole cut out of it.
|
||
|
||
Replaces Waybar, dunst and hyprlock.
|
||
|
||
## Running
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
qs # starts the shell (Hyprland does this via autostart.lua)
|
||
qs -p lockpreview.qml # the lock screen in an ordinary window, for styling
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Hyprland starts it from `~/.config/hypr/lua/autostart.lua`.
|
||
|
||
## Layout
|
||
|
||
Two surfaces. Status moves off the bar and onto a vertical rail, because on a
|
||
1080p panel horizontal space is cheap and vertical space is not: a 48px rail
|
||
costs 2.5% of the width, where another 48px strip along the bottom would have
|
||
cost 4.4% of the height on top of what the bar already takes.
|
||
|
||
```

████████████████████████████████████████████████
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- **hull** — `bar/Frame.qml`: one surface round the whole screen, with the
|
||
desktop as a rounded opening. The bar and the rail sit on it.
|
||
- **bar** — identity and workspaces on the left (a ring after them while the
|
||
`Super+S` scratchpad holds windows, filled while it is open); the focused window, the
|
||
player, the CPU/MEM/GPU readout and the clock on the right.
|
||
- **rail** — network, bluetooth, audio, mic, backlight, battery, tray,
|
||
notifications, power. While something records the mic, uses a camera or
|
||
shares the screen, a lit icon heads the rail (`services/Privacy.qml`, read
|
||
from PipeWire). Popouts grow leftward out of it, into the screen.
|
||
|
||
Modules are divided by hairlines. `BarPill` is chromeless by default — a module
|
||
is *content inside* the hull, not a surface of its own — and marks hover with
|
||
an accent underline. Pass `standalone: true` for the rare thing that really is
|
||
its own panel.
|
||
|
||
The shell uses three deliberate surface tiers. **Chrome** (the hull and
|
||
`ChromeSurface`) is the calm, texture-free bar, rail, and tooltip layer. **Transient**
|
||
(`PopoutSurface`) is reserved for expressive menus and detail panels, with one
|
||
clear composition and stronger separation from the desktop. **Scene**
|
||
surfaces — the lock screen and the power menu — have no panel at all: the
|
||
desktop or the wallpaper dims, and one small group of type (the mark, a line of
|
||
thin display type, a short log, a menu or a field) stands in the dark.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
shell.qml entrypoint — hull, bar, rail, dashboard, power menu, toasts, OSD per screen
|
||
config/ palette, type scale, geometry, motion curves
|
||
components/ the primitives: panels, sliders, list rows, display text
|
||
services/ data sources, all singletons
|
||
bar/ the two surfaces and their modules
|
||
popouts/ hover panels hanging off rail and bar modules
|
||
overlays/ power menu, notification toasts, the volume/brightness/keyboard OSD, idle dim
|
||
lock/ session lock
|
||
overview/ every monitor, workspace and window at once
|
||
backdrop/ the wallpaper, drawn by the shell
|
||
assets/ the dot and scanline tiles, generated with ImageMagick
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`Panel` 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.
|
||
|
||
## Popouts
|
||
|
||
Hover panels (`components/Popout.qml`) are part of the hull, not cards
|
||
floating near their trigger. Each one sits flush against the frame edge it
|
||
opens from, is painted in the hull colour, joins the frame through concave
|
||
fillets, carries the rim round its open side, and slides out from behind the
|
||
frame. `PopoutSurface` notices it is inside a `Popout` and leaves the fill and
|
||
the frame to the hull; in the launcher and the ask panel it is still a
|
||
free-standing panel with corner ticks.
|
||
|
||
Placement is explicit: centred on the trigger, then — if that would land the
|
||
panel within `dockReach` of one of the opening's corners — docked into the
|
||
corner instead, attached to the bar and the rail at once (`dock` is `top`,
|
||
`right`, `topRight` or `bottomRight`). Without docking, a panel near the rail
|
||
left a thin strip of opening between itself and the rail.
|
||
|
||
## Notifications
|
||
|
||
The shell is the notification server (`services/Notifs.qml`). New ones arrive
|
||
as toasts in a corner drawer (`overlays/Toasts.qml`); the bell on the rail
|
||
opens the log (`popouts/NotifPopout.qml`), which is grouped by sender. A
|
||
sender with one notification is just that entry. A sender with several gets a
|
||
header — its name, a count, a mark to clear only that sender — over its
|
||
newest entry and a `+ 2 more` line; a click on either opens the rest.
|
||
|
||
## Dashboard
|
||
|
||
`dashboard/Dashboard.qml` is a drawer that slides down out of the underside of
|
||
the bar — clock click, `SUPER + D`, or `qs ipc call shell dashboard`. It is
|
||
painted in the hull colour and joins the bar through two concave fillets, so it
|
||
reads as more of the hull rather than as a floating card (caelestia's idea).
|
||
Four columns divided by hairlines: operator and time, the month, the system
|
||
meters, and what is playing. Escape or focusing anything else puts it away; a
|
||
`HyprlandFocusGrab` handles the latter, and `Actions.dashboardClosedAt` stops
|
||
the clock click that cleared the grab from opening it straight back up.
|
||
|
||
Under the columns, past a hairline, a row of switches: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, do
|
||
not disturb and stay awake, plus night light when `hyprsunset` is installed
|
||
(it runs at 4200 K for as long as the switch is on). On is the light slab
|
||
with ink type, the same as a selection everywhere else; off is a hairline.
|
||
|
||
## Game mode
|
||
|
||
While a fullscreen game is on screen, Hyprland switches off its animations and
|
||
shadows and turns on direct scanout (`~/.config/hypr/lua/gamemode.lua`). It
|
||
also tells the shell through `qs ipc call shell gameMode true`. The game covers
|
||
the hull, but covered surfaces still render, so the shell stops what it does by
|
||
itself: the fluxo stream, the backlight poll, the media tick and equaliser, and
|
||
the rail and workspace pulses. Toasts wait in the log, except critical ones.
|
||
Both sides come back when the game leaves fullscreen, closes or is switched
|
||
away from.
|
||
|
||
A game is a window with the `game` content type, or one whose class matches
|
||
`GAME_CLASSES` in `gamemode.lua` (`steam_app_<id>` and `gamescope` so far).
|
||
|
||
## Modules
|
||
|
||
| Module | Where | Left click | Right click | Middle | Scroll | Hover |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| Sigil | bar | app menu | reload shell | | | |
|
||
| Workspaces | bar | switch | | | | |
|
||
| Clock | bar | dashboard | | | | calendar |
|
||
| Network | rail | pin details | | | | state + networks |
|
||
| Bluetooth | rail | pin details | | | | state + devices |
|
||
| Volume | rail | pin audio | | | volume | state + scroll hint + audio |
|
||
| Mic | rail | pin audio | | | mic volume | state + scroll hint + audio |
|
||
| Brightness | rail | | | | brightness | state + scroll hint |
|
||
| Battery | rail | pin panel | | | | power detail |
|
||
| Tray | rail | activate | app menu | secondary | | |
|
||
| Bell | rail | pin history + mark read | | | | state + history |
|
||
| Power | rail | power menu | | | | |
|
||
| Media | bar | play/pause | next | raise player | next/prev | full player |
|
||
| CPU/MEM/GPU | bar | btop | | | | resource dashboard |
|
||
|
||
Popouts open on a short dwell and stay while the pointer is over the trigger or
|
||
the panel. Hover openings remain passive. Clicking remaps a detail panel as a
|
||
keyboard-focused popup: Tab moves through its controls, Escape dismisses it,
|
||
and an outside click closes it. A shell-wide coordinator keeps only one
|
||
transient surface mapped at a time, including tray context menus, so sweeping
|
||
across the rail cannot stack several animated panels over one another.
|
||
|
||
Audio is the reference vertical-slice popout: current output percentage leads,
|
||
output and input have distinct bands, and application streams form a subordinate
|
||
mixer list. Output/input mute actions and **Open audio mixer** are explicit
|
||
buttons inside the panel; scrolling the rail icons remains the fast level
|
||
adjustment.
|
||
|
||
The power menu is fully keyboard-driven as well as clickable: `Up`/`Down` or
|
||
`J`/`K` moves the active slab, `Enter`/`Space` confirms it, and `Escape`
|
||
dismisses the screen.
|
||
|
||
## Keybinds
|
||
|
||
Set in `~/.config/hypr/lua/binds/shell.lua`:
|
||
|
||
- `Super+Ctrl+L` — lock
|
||
- `Super+P` — power menu
|
||
- `Super+Shift+N` — toggle do not disturb
|
||
- `Alt+Tab` / `Alt+Shift+Tab` — overview, walking focus history; let go of Alt to switch
|
||
- `Super+W` — overview, without the hold
|
||
- `Super+Tab` / `Super+Shift+Tab` — next / previous window in a group
|
||
- `Super+Shift+I` — stay awake (no dim, lock or screen-off until toggled back)
|
||
- `Super+Ctrl+Shift+N` — clear notifications
|
||
- `Super+A` — ask panel
|
||
- `Super+Shift+R` — reload the shell
|
||
|
||
All of these go through Quickshell's IPC, so they work from any script:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
qs ipc call shell lock
|
||
qs ipc call shell power
|
||
qs ipc call shell toggleDnd
|
||
qs ipc call shell toggleStayAwake
|
||
qs ipc call shell wallpaper ~/.wallpapers/space-1.jpg
|
||
qs ipc call shell ask
|
||
qs ipc call shell askAbout "why is the sky blue"
|
||
qs ipc call shell clearNotifications
|
||
qs ipc call shell reloadConfig
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Ask
|
||
|
||
`Super+A` drops a panel off the top edge and hands whatever you type to
|
||
`claude -p`, streamed token by token. It is the subscription that answers —
|
||
the CLI already holds the credentials, so nothing here has an API key and
|
||
nothing here has to be given one.
|
||
|
||
The panel is a chat, not a coding session. Settings sources, MCP servers and
|
||
project files are switched off by default, which keeps a question asked from
|
||
the desktop from arriving with the last project's hooks, `CLAUDE.md` and tone
|
||
attached. The thread survives closing the panel; `Ctrl+L` starts a new one.
|
||
|
||
| Key | Does |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| `Enter` | ask |
|
||
| `Shift+Enter` | newline |
|
||
| `Ctrl+M` | next model, written back to `ask.json` |
|
||
| `Ctrl+Y` | copy the last answer |
|
||
| `Ctrl+L` | new conversation |
|
||
| `Ctrl+S` | stop the answer |
|
||
| `Escape` | hide, keeping the thread |
|
||
|
||
Configured in `ask.json`, watched and reloaded live:
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{
|
||
"model": "sonnet",
|
||
"systemPrompt": "…",
|
||
"keepContext": true,
|
||
"settingSources": "",
|
||
"allowedTools": ["WebSearch", "WebFetch"],
|
||
"disallowedTools": ["Bash", "Edit", "Write"],
|
||
"workingDirectory": "/home/narl",
|
||
"maxTurns": 6
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`settingSources` is the escape hatch: set it to `"user,project,local"` and the
|
||
panel becomes your ordinary Claude Code, hooks and all.
|
||
|
||
## 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.
|
||
|
||
## Overview
|
||
|
||
`overview/Overview.qml`. Each monitor is a row of small portholes, one per
|
||
workspace at that monitor's aspect ratio, with live captures of the windows
|
||
where they sit (`ScreencopyView`, so windows on hidden workspaces show too).
|
||
The monitor's name heads its row once there is more than one. A group shows
|
||
the member in front with a `1/3` tag; picking a hidden member puts it in
|
||
front.
|
||
|
||
`Alt+Tab` opens it with the previous window picked, more Tabs walk back
|
||
through focus history, and letting go of Alt switches. Hyprland keeps the
|
||
Alt+Tab bind while the overview has the keyboard, so those presses arrive
|
||
over IPC (`overviewNext` / `overviewPrev`); the Alt release comes to the
|
||
overview itself, with a release bind on `ALT_L` as a backstop. Hover picks
|
||
only once the pointer moves, so a resting pointer cannot override the
|
||
keyboard. Enter, a click, or `1`–`9` for a workspace also go; Escape or a
|
||
click on the dark cancels.
|
||
|
||
Focus is dispatched a moment after the overview lets go of the keyboard:
|
||
Hyprland ignores focus changes while a layer holds it exclusively.
|
||
|
||
## Wallpaper
|
||
|
||
`backdrop/Backdrop.qml` draws it on the background layer; there is no
|
||
hyprpaper. The picture is drawn 8% larger than the screen and drifts with the
|
||
workspace: 1 sits at the top of it and each step down moves it a fixed
|
||
distance, a little slower than Hyprland's own slide, so the windows arrive
|
||
first and the scene behind catches up. It never moves on its own, so an idle
|
||
desktop costs the compositor nothing. While the workspace holds windows it
|
||
settles a shade darker.
|
||
|
||
The choice is one line in `quickshell/wallpaper` (`~` allowed), watched live.
|
||
`qs ipc call shell wallpaper <path>` rewrites it.
|
||
|
||
## Idle
|
||
|
||
`services/Idle.qml`, on Wayland's idle-notify protocol instead of hypridle:
|
||
|
||
| After | Does |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| 4 min | the screen dims slowly (`overlays/IdleDim.qml`); any input lifts it |
|
||
| 5 min | lock |
|
||
| 6 min | displays off; any input wakes them |
|
||
| 15 min | suspend, on battery only |
|
||
|
||
Every stage respects idle inhibitors, so a fullscreen video holds them all
|
||
off. `Super+Shift+I` does the same by hand and puts a cup on the rail while it
|
||
is on.
|
||
|
||
## 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.
|
||
|
||
It is the wallpaper, barely softened, with the face set in the dark of the
|
||
porthole: the mark, the time in light display type, the date, "Take your
|
||
time." glowing faintly with the odd flicker (`components/GlowText.qml`), a
|
||
status log
|
||
(battery, network, what is playing, unread notices), and a rounded field that
|
||
fills with dots as you type. The dots breathe while PAM checks; a wrong
|
||
password turns them and the field's rim to rust and nudges the field once.
|
||
|
||
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`.
|
||
- `hyprpaper` — replaced by `backdrop/`. Turn its unit off with
|
||
`systemctl --user disable --now hyprpaper`.
|
||
- `hypridle` — never installed; `services/Idle.qml` does the job.
|
||
- `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 Noto Sans, upright and widely tracked — the nearest free
|
||
face to NieR's FOT-Rodin that is already installed. Change `Theme.fontDisplay`
|
||
and everything follows.
|
||
|
||
## Palette discipline
|
||
|
||
YoRHa dark: NieR:Automata's interface language, painted from the wallpaper
|
||
(`~/.wallpapers/space-1.jpg`) rather than from the game's beige. Two hues, and
|
||
**hue is meaning**; nothing gets a colour for decoration.
|
||
|
||
- **Light (`accent`, `#eef1ea`)** means live: the focused workspace, the
|
||
selected row, the hovered control, a channel that is on, an unread badge. It
|
||
is the planet's white, barely a colour at all — NieR marks attention with
|
||
brightness and inversion, not with hue.
|
||
- **Red (`alarm`, `#c8684f`)** means wrong or destructive: critical battery, an
|
||
urgent workspace, a critical notification, reboot and shut down. It is the
|
||
hull's indicator lights, the only warm thing in the wallpaper.
|
||
- **Grey-green** is everything else, and that includes *off*. A muted speaker,
|
||
a muted mic and Do Not Disturb drop to `muted` grey with their off glyph.
|
||
- **Ink** is the text on an inverted slab and the faint drop under display
|
||
type.
|
||
|
||
**Selection is the NieR cursor.** Focus and selection invert the row: a slab of
|
||
the light with ink punched out of it. Hover lifts the surface one step and
|
||
brings the marker up to full light, but never inverts. Destructive-active is
|
||
the same slab in red. The `treatment*` tokens in `Theme.qml` encode all of
|
||
this; use them rather than picking colours per widget.
|
||
|
||
**Dots, not slashes.** The current row, a button under the pointer, the end of
|
||
a header rule and a notification's urgency carry a small dot (`Theme.marker`).
|
||
Borders are structure and stay neutral.
|
||
|
||
**Flicker, not print.** Display text (`SplitText`) is upright, tracked by
|
||
`Theme.tracking`, on a one-pixel soft drop. The two ghosts either side of it
|
||
appear only while `glitch()` runs — NieR's brief data-corruption flicker.
|
||
|
||
**Texture is rare.** Chrome (bar, rail, tooltips), transient panels (popouts,
|
||
OSD, toasts) and the two scene surfaces are flat. Depth comes from the hull's
|
||
dark, the rim hairline and the wallpaper, not from patterns.
|
||
|
||
**Type has a floor.** Nothing renders below `Theme.fsMicro` (10px).
|
||
|
||
**Changing the palette.** The colours are written once per program:
|
||
|
||
| File | Covers |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| `quickshell/config/Theme.qml` | the shell: `accent`, `alarm`, the neutral ramp, the hull |
|
||
| `hypr/lua/palette.lua` | window borders, groups |
|
||
| `alacritty/yorha.toml` | the terminal |
|
||
| `fish/conf.d/yorha_theme.fish` | the prompt and pager |
|
||
| `nvim/lua/yorha.lua` | the editor and its statusline |
|
||
| `btop/themes/yorha.theme` | the resource monitor |
|
||
| `gtk-3.0/gtk.css`, `gtk-4.0/gtk.css` | GTK and libadwaita apps |
|
||
| `qt6ct/colors/yorha.conf` | Qt apps |
|
||
| `zathura/yorha` | the document viewer |
|
||
|
||
Everything else derives. `glow` *is* `accent`, and `primary` is plain `text`.
|
||
`Theme.heat()` is a continuous text → light → red ramp, so a CPU figure that
|
||
has gone red means the same thing as a battery that has gone red. Tray icons
|
||
are flattened to one colour (subtext, the accent on hover) for the same reason:
|
||
app brand colours wreck the palette faster than anything else in the shell.
|
||
nm-applet and blueman are hidden from the tray, since the rail already shows
|
||
network and bluetooth, but keep running as the secret and pairing agents.
|
||
|
||
## The rest of the desktop
|
||
|
||
- **Hyprland** — `hypr/lua/look.lua`. Windows round at 8px, concentric with
|
||
the opening's 18px corners at a 10px gap (`Theme.frameRadius - gaps_out`);
|
||
change one and the others follow. No blur, both opacities at `1.0`, 1px
|
||
borders running from the light into the suit's grey. The shadow is soft and
|
||
wide, so windows float in the opening. Group tabs are thin rounded lines with
|
||
no titles, the current one in the light; the bar writes the title once and
|
||
adds the window's place in the group (`2/3`). Motion
|
||
(`hypr/lua/animations.lua`) glides and settles with no overshoot: windows
|
||
resolve in from a hair smaller, workspaces drift a short way vertically and
|
||
fade (sliding behind the hull), the `SUPER+S` scratchpad lowers out from
|
||
under the bar like the dashboard, and layers only fade, since quickshell
|
||
animates its own surfaces.
|
||
- **Alacritty** — `alacritty/yorha.toml`, selected by the `import` in
|
||
`alacritty.toml`. Muted earth hues on the void; selection inverts.
|
||
Alacritty only live-reloads when `alacritty.toml` itself changes, so touch
|
||
it after editing the palette.
|
||
The Catppuccin and `takemi.toml` files are left in place, unreferenced.
|
||
- **Neovim** — `nvim/lua/yorha.lua` (loaded by `colors/yorha.lua`, with a
|
||
matching lualine theme). Syntax in the terminal's earth hues, floats as hull
|
||
surfaces with rounded rims, menus selecting with the light slab.
|
||
- **btop** — `btop/themes/yorha.theme`. Hairline boxes; gradients climb from
|
||
grey to the light, and only temperature and CPU load run on into rust.
|
||
- **GTK** — the `adw-gtk3-dark` theme (package `adw-gtk-theme`) for the
|
||
libadwaita shapes, recoloured by `gtk-3.0/gtk.css` and `gtk-4.0/gtk.css`.
|
||
libadwaita apps such as Nautilus read the same overrides as CSS variables.
|
||
Selection is the light slab with ink text; only destructive actions are red.
|
||
The theme name is also in `xsettingsd/xsettingsd.conf` and has to be set with
|
||
`gsettings` for portal-aware apps.
|
||
- **Type** — one sans and one mono everywhere: Noto Sans for interface text
|
||
and JetBrainsMono Nerd Font for figures and code, in the shell
|
||
(`Theme.fontDisplay` / `fontMono`), GTK (`settings.ini` and the gsettings
|
||
`font-name` / `monospace-font-name`), qt6ct and Hyprland's own text.
|
||
- **Qt** — qt6ct with `qt6ct/colors/yorha.conf`, the same palette in
|
||
`QPalette` roles, drawn with the Darkly style (package `darkly-bin`) for
|
||
rounded controls. Fusion is the fallback if Darkly is missing.
|
||
- **zathura** — `zathura/yorha`, included from `zathurarc`. Pages are
|
||
recoloured onto the hull with text in bone; images keep their colours.
|
||
Search hits are a soft bone wash, and the current hit is sand.
|
||
- **Fish** — `fish/conf.d/yorha_theme.fish`.
|
||
- **The launcher** — no external theming to keep in step, because it is part of
|
||
this shell (`launcher/`). Fuzzel is gone; `takemi-dmenu` stands in for
|
||
`fuzzel --dmenu` where a script needs a picker.
|
||
- **No glass anywhere.** Alacritty is `opacity = 1.0, blur = false`, and
|
||
Hyprland's `decoration:blur` is disabled.
|
||
|
||
There are **no gradients in the chrome**; every fill is flat. `Theme.sheen`
|
||
still exists as a no-op property so old call sites need not be chased down.
|
||
|
||
## Geometry discipline
|
||
|
||
**The hull.** Borrowed from caelestia's screen border: the bar, the rail and a
|
||
thin band down the left and along the bottom (`Theme.frame`) are one surface,
|
||
drawn by `bar/Frame.qml`, and the desktop is a rounded opening cut out of it
|
||
(`Theme.frameRadius`). Read against the wallpaper, you are inside the ship and
|
||
the windows sit in the porthole. The hull is on the top layer, over the
|
||
windows, with a transparent opening and no input region, so a window moving
|
||
past the opening's edge — a workspace switch, the scratchpad drawer — passes
|
||
behind the frame rather than over the bar. `hypr/lua/rules/layers.lua` orders
|
||
the bar and the rail above it. The bar and the rail draw
|
||
no surface of their own and ignore exclusive zones; Frame reserves all four
|
||
zones itself, so every piece is placed from the screen edge.
|
||
|
||
**Soft, everywhere else.** The porthole is the shape the desktop is built
|
||
around, and every smaller surface is a gentler echo of it. `Theme.skew` and
|
||
`Theme.cut` are `0`; `Panel` and `Skew` draw `Geom.roundedRect` with
|
||
`Theme.radiusS` (pills, chips, meter tracks), `radiusM` (rows, buttons) or
|
||
`radiusL`. `radiusL` is `frameRadius - padS`: anything inset by `padS` inside
|
||
one of the frame's curves — a hovered notification in the drawer's corner —
|
||
gets a corner concentric with it, so the gap stays even and nothing pokes past
|
||
the curve. Free-standing panels (launcher, ask) take `frameRadius` itself.
|
||
Toggles, transport buttons, workspace pips and today's date are pills or
|
||
discs; album art is rounded via `ClippingRectangle`.
|
||
|
||
**Motion glides.** No overshoot anywhere: things ease in on `OutCubic` or
|
||
`OutExpo` and settle. Nothing scales up or nudges sideways on hover either;
|
||
hover brightens and marks, the way NieR's menus do. Meters are one continuous
|
||
rounded line that glides to its level, and the bar's player shows a
|
||
five-line signal meter.
|
||
|
||
Each surface is **one continuous slab**, with modules divided by hairline rules
|
||
rather than by gaps. A row of separate floating cards reads as clutter; that is
|
||
what the dividers exist to avoid.
