colorshell
(previously retrozinndev/Hyprland-Dots)
Note
personal dotfiles moved to another repo! see retrozinndev/Hyprland-Dots
My Hyprland desktop shell that I keep improving almost everyday! 🤩 (i love doing this)
This repository includes a desktop shell made with GTK, using Astal and AGS + TypeScript. It really took me a lot of time to make this, so please star the repo if you like it! ⭐
🌄 Screenshots
🎨 Colors
All the shell colors are dynamically generated from your wallpaper! This is possible by using pywal16(fork of the archived pywal project), a cli tool to generate color schemes on the fly.
🖼️ Wallpapers
When you're at the Installation process, you can choose whether to install the wallpapers.
Or if you haven't, you can just create a directory ~/wallpapers in your home ~ and put images you want to use as wallpapers!
You can select any of the images inside ~/wallpapers by pressing SUPER + W or by accessing the
Control Center and clicking in the image icon on top.
ℹ️ Source
None of the wallpapers available in this repo are made by me! You can find sources inside the WALLPAPERS.md file. (it took me a lot of time to make this sources list 😭)

🌐 Internationalization
Colorshell supports i18n! The shell automatically matches the shell language with the system's, if available.
Currently, there's support for the following languages:
- English (United States), maintained by @retrozinndev
- Português (Brasil), maintained by @retrozinndev
Don't see your language here? You can contribute and make translations too!
You can do so by forking this repository, translating the shell in your fork and then opening a pull request to this repository, simple as that!
(I'll create a more detailed guide for that soon)
