Add a Waybar module to the desktop group, enabled through the aggregator,
showing workspaces with per-application icons plus a clock, MPRIS media
controls, audio, network, battery, and a do-not-disturb toggle.
The do-not-disturb widget drives mako's dnd mode and degrades gracefully
until the notifications module lands. Module glyphs are Nerd Font codepoints
decoded through JSON, backed by a system symbols font.
Add a PipeWire audio server so the bar's volume widget has a running sink to
read and drive.
Narrow the terminal tools excluded from Stylix to nvim alone. nvim keeps
its dedicated gbprod/nord.nvim colorscheme, which is richer than the
base16 mapping Stylix would apply.
tmux and fish are now Stylix-managed. Drop the hand-written Nord colours
from the tmux status bar so Stylix themes the status and pane styles,
keeping the minimal layout (session name plus window list) reapplied
after Stylix so it still wins.
Add Stylix as a flake input and a desktop theming module that resolves a
single Nord base16 scheme across the graphical surface: GTK, Qt, cursor,
and the system monospace font, plus a static Nord wallpaper drawn as a
Polar Night gradient.
Scope the theming to the graphical layer alone. The Stylix targets for
fish (at both system and home-manager level), tmux, and nixvim stay off
so the terminal tools keep their hand-written themes.
Flip between the dwindle and master layouts with one bind. Neither a
dispatcher nor a keyword toggles the layout on its own, so a small pinned
script reads general:layout and sets the other through hyprctl keyword.
Ghostty's GTK4 window construction made every launch sluggish on neogaia's
integrated graphics (~440 ms to map a window), which a head-to-head
comparison against Alacritty confirmed. Alacritty's lightweight OpenGL
renderer opens fast on the iGPU, so it becomes the terminal on Super+Return.
The choice stays reversible per host, so a capable host such as zeus could
adopt Ghostty later.
Two issues surfaced on the live neogaia session. Hyprland rejected two names
at load: the split toggle is a dwindle layout message reached through
layoutmsg, not a top-level dispatcher, and dwindle:pseudotile no longer exists
in this version. Bind Super+T via layoutmsg and drop the pseudotile option.
Ghostty also cold-started GTK on every launch. Configure it through
home-manager with gtk-single-instance so windows after the first open in the
existing process. Record the dispatcher/option version-drift trap in CLAUDE.md.
Introduce the modules/desktop/ group behind a single modules.desktop.enable
aggregator that hand-lists and turns on each piece at default priority, so a
host enables the whole desktop with one flag yet can override any single piece.
The Hyprland compositor lives in a subdirectory of the group, sourced from
nixpkgs with the program integration owning the session, portals, and polkit
and home-manager writing the config against that one package. greetd with the
tuigreet greeter provides a mouse-free text login that launches the session
through uwsm, and Ghostty is the terminal on Super+Return.
Port the operator's KDE/i3 bindings expressed entirely in hjkl and letters,
tune input (US layout, Caps->Escape, snappy repeat, touchpad taps and natural
scroll, flat mouse accel), and set a subtle feel with blur left as a host knob.
Enable the desktop on neogaia.
