quickshell

Simple and flexbile QtQuick based desktop shell toolkit.

Hosted on: outfoxxed's gitea, github

Documentation available at quickshell.outfoxxed.me or can be built from the quickshell-docs repo.

Some fully working examples can be found in the quickshell-examples repo.

Both the documentation and examples are included as submodules with revisions that work with the current version of quickshell.

You can clone everything with

$ git clone --recursive https://git.outfoxxed.me/outfoxxed/quickshell.git

Or clone missing submodules later with

$ git submodule update --init --recursive

Installation

Nix

This repo has a nix flake you can use to install the package directly:

{
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";

    quickshell = {
      url = "git+https://git.outfoxxed.me/outfoxxed/quickshell";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    };
  };
}

Quickshell's binary is available at quickshell.packages.<system>.default to be added to lists such as environment.systemPackages or home.packages.

The package contains several features detailed in BUILD.md which can be enabled or disabled with overrides:

quickshell.packages.<system>.default.override {
  enableWayland = true;
  enableX11 = true;
  enablePipewire = true;
  withQtSvg = true;
  withJemalloc = true;
}

Note: by default this package is built with clang as it is significantly faster.

Arch (AUR)

Quickshell has a third party AUR package available under the same name. As is usual with the AUR it is not maintained by us and should be looked over before use.

Anything else

See BUILD.md for instructions on building and packaging quickshell.
