Quickshell
Features
- Desktop Shells - Assembles a complete desktop environment by combining modules for windows, widgets, and system services.
- QML Interfaces - Provides a QML-based interface for controlling window placement, tiling, and compositing in custom desktop environments.
- Qt Signal-Slot Mechanisms - Connects UI events to backend logic through Qt's type-safe callback mechanism, enabling decoupled component communication.
- Qt Quick - Renders widgets using Qt's hardware-accelerated scene graph, which batches draw calls for efficient GPU usage.
- Shell Builders - Integrates window management, system services, and notification handling for building Linux desktop shells.
- QML-Based Shell Frameworks - Provides a framework for building custom desktop environments using QML-based widgets and system service modules.
- QML Component Libraries - Provides QML components for creating window managers, system trays, and desktop panels.
- Compositor-Specific Abstractions - Provides a unified API over compositor-specific protocols like KWin and Wayfire for controlling window placement and tiling.
- D-Bus Desktop Services - Communicates with system services over the D-Bus inter-process protocol to access hardware and desktop features.
- QML Module Loaders - Loads shell components as independent QML modules that can be composed and configured at runtime.
- QML Declarative UIs - Defines user interfaces using QML markup, which the Qt runtime interprets to create and manage widget hierarchies.
- Desktop Service Connectors - Connects to Bluetooth, networking, notifications, authentication, and power management through dedicated modules.
- Desktop Service Connectors - Connects to Bluetooth, networking, notifications, authentication, and power management services through dedicated modules.
- Window Switching and Tiling - Manages window placement, tiling, and compositing through window manager interfaces.
- Custom Widget Rendering - Renders user-defined UI components using bundled widget types within a shell layout for desktop customization.
- DBusMenu Implementations - Creates system tray icons and application menus that follow the DBusMenu standard.
- DBusMenu Implementations - Implements system tray icons and menus following the DBusMenu protocol for desktop shells.
- Shell Widgets - Displays user-defined UI components using bundled widget types within the shell layout.
- Desktop Shells and Compositors - Toolkit for creating desktop shells on Wayland and X11.
