2026-04-14 — QuickShell migration (replace waybar + eww + rofi)

New directory: quickshell/

Symlinked to ~/.config/quickshell. Entry point: shell.qml.

Services (quickshell/services/) — pragma Singleton data layer

  • Theme.qml — colors, dimensions, font
  • Audio.qml — Pipewire volume/mute
  • Media.qml — MPRIS player state
  • Gpu.qml — nvidia-smi usage/VRAM/temp (2s)
  • Cpu.qml — CPU %/temp/RAM (2s/5s)
  • Weather.qml — wttr.in Lyon (30min)
  • NordVpn.qml — nordvpn status + toggle (10s)
  • Brightness.qml — ddcutil brightness, 300ms debounce
  • Bluetooth.qml — bluetoothctl device (5s)
  • Network.qml — wifi SSID / ethernet (5s)

Bar (quickshell/bar/)

  • MainBars.qml — floating pill on DP-1 + HDMI-A-2
  • OledBar.qml — WlrLayer.Overlay on HDMI-A-1, cursor auto-hide (80ms poll, 2s delay)
  • Workspaces.qml, WindowTitle.qml, MediaControls.qml, ClockWidget.qml
  • WeatherWidget.qml, GpuWidget.qml, SysmonWidget.qml, VolumeWidget.qml
  • NetworkWidget.qml, BluetoothWidget.qml, VpnWidget.qml, TrayWidget.qml
  • ScratchpadWidget.qml, PowerWidget.qml

Dashboard (quickshell/dashboard/) — eww replacement

  • Dashboard.qml — full-screen overlay, slide animation, IPC: qs ipc call dashboard toggle
  • Cards: ClockCard, BrightnessCard, VolumeCard, SystemCard, MediaCard, NetVpnCard

Launcher (quickshell/launcher/) — rofi replacement

  • Launcher.qml — fuzzy DesktopEntries search, IPC: qs ipc call launcher toggle
  • PowerMenu.qml — Shutdown/Reboot/Suspend/Logout, IPC: qs ipc call powermenu toggle
  • ClipboardPicker.qml — cliphist + wl-copy, IPC: qs ipc call clipboard show

Modified files

  • hypr/autostart.conf — removed eww/waybar/oled-autohide, added quickshell
  • hypr/bind.conf — $menu → qs ipc call launcher toggle, Home → dashboard toggle, SHIFT+V → clipboard

Boot errors fixed

  1. color is not a type → import QtQuick in Theme.qml
  2. ToolTip non-existent attached object → import QtQuick.Controls in WeatherWidget/VpnWidget
  3. letterSpacing → font.letterSpacing in ClockWidget
  4. IconImage is not a type → import Quickshell.Widgets in TrayWidget/Launcher
  5. IpcHandler is not a type → import Quickshell.Io in all IPC files
  6. FloatingWindow.y not assignable → replaced with full-screen WlrLayer.Overlay PanelWindows
  7. placeholderTextColor not in Qt 6.6 → manual Text overlay for placeholders
  8. Composite Singleton not creatable → removed from ShellRoot (singletons auto-init on import)
  9. Media TypeError → Mpris.players.values instead of Mpris.players

2026-04-02 — Session 21 (hypridle + hyprlock fixes)

hypridle installed and configured

  • sudo pacman -S hypridle
  • hypr/hypridle.conf created:
    • 10 min idle → lock screen (loginctl lock-session)
    • 15 min idle → monitors off (hyprctl dispatch dpms off)
    • On resume → dpms on
    • Before sleep → lock session
  • Added exec-once = hypridle to autostart.conf

TODO: OLED brightness dimming before lock

  • Add a dimming step before locking (e.g. 8 min → dim, 10 min → lock)
  • Requires wlr-randr (sudo pacman -S wlr-randr)
  • Command: wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --brightness 0.3
  • On resume: wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --brightness 1.0
  • Not implemented yet — install wlr-randr first

Nanoleaf — work in progress

  • 2 devices in Desk Room: Color Wall 2 (192.168.1.24) and Color Wall Light (192.168.1.30)
  • Both NL72K4, connected via Matter over Wi-Fi
  • Goal: activity-based scenes triggered from Hyprland scripts
  • Blocked: Color Wall 2 unreachable (.24 offline), auth token pairing failed on Color Wall Light
  • Next session: retry token pairing, or check Nanoleaf app for token export
