Omarchy is a comprehensive, opinionated Linux desktop distribution built on Arch Linux with Hyprland as the tiling window manager and a custom Quickshell-based (Qt QML) desktop shell. It provides a polished, keyboard-driven user experience with extensive theming, a plugin system for shell widgets/panels/services, system management CLI tools (updates, migrations, hardware detection, package management), AI agent integration, clipboard manager, notifications, OSD, and more. The architecture is monolithic around a long-lived QML process, with shell scripts handling system-level operations. The repo includes a full installer, migration scripts, default configurations, and a manual. It is actively maintained with a large test suite and demonstrates strong engineering practices in its QML component library, IPC patterns, and guard evaluation system. While not a research project, it contains utility scripts for audio tuning and disk/network speed tests.
HyprQuickFrame is a native screenshot utility for Hyprland built using the Quickshell framework. It provides an overlay-based UI for capturing screenshots in region, window, or full-screen modes, with options to edit, save to disk, copy to clipboard, or share via KDE Connect. The application features shader-based dimming, animated transitions, and dynamic theme synchronization with wallpapers via Noctalia. The architecture centers around a QML application shell that manages state and delegates to specialized UI components (RegionSelector, WindowSelector, ControlBar, etc.). Screenshot capture is performed by spawning external processes (grim, wl-clipboard, editors) based on the selected mode. The theme system allows users to customize colors and animations via a TOML file, with a Python script available to sync colors from Noctalia-generated palettes. Key reusable components include a custom animated toggle button (QuickToggle.qml), a segmented control bar (ControlBar.qml), a TOML-based theme parser (Theme.qml), and a Noctalia theme synchronization script (sync_theme.py). These components are designed with minimal dependencies and demonstrate advanced QML animation techniques and configuration patterns.
This repository is a comprehensive dotfiles distribution for the Hyprland Wayland compositor, branded as ML4W OS. It is not a conventional application but rather a complete desktop environment configuration suite plus supporting tooling: modular Lua configs for Hyprland, QML panels built with Quickshell (statusbar, dock, power menu, calendar, wallpaper picker, welcome app, sidebar), and dozens of Bash utility scripts for wallpaper management, notifications, theme switching, system updates, and installation. The architecture centers on config files under ~/.config that are installed by distribution-specific setup scripts (preflight/post for Arch, Fedora, openSUSE) and a .dotinst installer descriptor.
