# About Quickshell
 | 
			
		||||
Quickshell is a framework for building various desktop components, such as *status bars,
 | 
			
		||||
docks, panels, and overlays*, collectively known as the desktop shell.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
With Quickshell, you can create a desktop shell that is entirely your own.
 | 
			
		||||
It can look and feel however you want, to the extent of your ability to
 | 
			
		||||
use the [QML](https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qmlreference.html) language.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
We provide a set of [easy to use libraries](/docs/types) for interacting with your
 | 
			
		||||
operating system, and *instant config reloading* so you can see your changes in real time,
 | 
			
		||||
as shown below.

# Feature Overview
 | 
			
		||||
Quickshell, QtQuick and the QML language provide the following notable features:
 | 
			
		||||
- Full customization. You are not limited to a predetermined set of modules.
 | 
			
		||||
- Full hot reloading. Your changes will be visible instantly on save.
 | 
			
		||||
- A fully reactive language, which means as properties change, all usages
 | 
			
		||||
  will be re-evaluated. Manual signal usage can be largely avoided.
 | 
			
		||||
- Full support for animations, which can be entirely custom.
 | 
			
		||||
- Support for GLSL shaders. (further ease of use integrations are in progress)
 | 
			
		||||
- Support for third party QML modules.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Quickshell provides operating system integrations for the following features:
 | 
			
		||||
- Panel windows (docks, status bars, desktop backgrounds, overlays)
 | 
			
		||||
  - Wayland compositors require the `zwlr_layer_shell_v1` protocol.
 | 
			
		||||
  - Many X11 window managers implement struts incorrectly,
 | 
			
		||||
    causing anchors and exclusive zone not to work as intended.
 | 
			
		||||
- Lock screens
 | 
			
		||||
  - Wayland compositors require the `ext_session_lock_v1` protocol.
 | 
			
		||||
  - Currently unsupported on X11.
 | 
			
		||||
- Popup windows
 | 
			
		||||
  - Unsupported on lockscreens.
 | 
			
		||||
  - Clicking outside a popup to dismiss only works under [Hyprland](https://hyprland.org).
 | 
			
		||||
- Floating / Normal windows
 | 
			
		||||
- Display manager / Login screen (via Greetd)
 | 
			
		||||
- Management of other application windows (taskbar)
 | 
			
		||||
  - Wayland compositors require the `zwlr_foreign_toplevel_management` protocol.
 | 
			
		||||
  - Currently unsupported on X11.
 | 
			
		||||
- System Tray (StatusNotifierItem only, no XEmbed)
 | 
			
		||||
- Notification Daemon / Server
 | 
			
		||||
- Audio Controls (via PipeWire)
 | 
			
		||||
- Media Controls (MPRIS compatible players)
 | 
			
		||||
- Battery / power status (via upower)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The following features are planned, but are not yet implemented:
 | 
			
		||||
- Bluetooth controls
 | 
			
		||||
- Ability to take a screenshot without using an external tool
 | 
			
		||||
- Embedded previews of other windows
 | 
			
		||||
- Hot reloading of GLSL shaders
 | 
			
		||||
- Bundling an optimized version of a configuration as an executable
 | 
			
		||||
- Larger set of builtin controls

## Installation
