https://quickshell.org XDG standard config paths. Looks for `shell.qml` in all sub-directories unless root dir has one. Target specific config using `quickshell -c configname`. # Windows Requires `import Quickshell`. Types: - PanelWindow: for bars, widgets and overlays - FloatingWindow: standard desktop windows [Type reference](https://quickshell.org/docs/types/Quickshell/PanelWindow) # Text [Text](https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qml-qtquick-text.html) requires `import QtQuick. Set `id: somename` to reference by `somename`, ie `somename.text = "blaat"` Strings can be concat using `+` # Processes Requires `import Quickshell.Io` (NOTE the capital I in Io) [Process](https://quickshell.org/docs/types/quickshell.io/process) object runs commands. [StdioCollector](https://quickshell.org/docs/types/Quickshell.Io/StdioCollector) reads process' output. Use a [Timer](https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qml-qtqml-timer.html) to run Process on an interval. # Component A reusable tree of objects. [Variants](https://quickshell.org/docs/types/Quickshell/Variants) creates instances of a component based on user supplied data. For example this used to create instances of a window based on the monitor list. To prevent many of the same processes when we reuse a component many times use `Scope` to move them outside of the reused component. We can use a [Property Definition](https://quickshell.org/docs/configuration/qml-overview/#property-definitions) on the parent scope to communicate between components in different scopes but in the same parent scope. Properties are reactive. # Multiple files shell.qml is the root. If a filename starts with a capital letter it can be referenced. E.g Bar.qml ``` Scope { Bar {} } ``` Other folders can be imported using `import` statements. # Singleton Has only one instance that is accessible from every scope. For example the date process in the bar. Set `pragma Singleton` at the top of the file ( before imports ). and Use `Singleton` type.
