# Noctalia v5
|
|
|
|
Noctalia v5 (`noctalia` package) is a native Wayland shell with no Qt dependency. It replaces v4
|
|
(`noctalia-shell` + `noctalia-qs`, Quickshell/QML), which broke on Qt 6.12.
|
|
|
|
## Files
|
|
|
|
- `noctalia/config.toml` - hand-edited config, hot-reloaded. Linked to `~/.config/noctalia/config.toml`.
|
|
- `~/.local/state/noctalia/settings.toml` - GUI-managed overrides and runtime state (not in this repo).
|
|
- `noctalia/settings.json` - old v4 config, kept for reference or fallback.
|
|
|
|
Validate after editing: `noctalia config validate`. Open the settings GUI: `noctalia msg settings-open`.
|
|
|
|
## Startup and keybinds
|
|
|
|
- Started from `niri/cfg/autostart.kdl` with `spawn-at-startup "noctalia"`.
|
|
- Keybinds in `niri/cfg/keybinds.kdl` call `noctalia msg <command>`; list them with `noctalia msg --help`.
|
|
- Panel ids for `panel-toggle`: clipboard, control-center, launcher, polkit, session, tray-drawer, wallpaper.
|
|
- Wallpaper is set with `noctalia msg wallpaper-set [output] <path>` and persists.
|
|
|
|
## Bar
|
|
|
|
- Layout is the `start`, `center` and `end` lists in `[bar.main]`.
|
|
- `[bar.main.monitor.ultrawide]` matches DP-1 and sets `margin_ends = 768`, which gives about 70% width on 5120px.
|
|
Formula: `(monitor_width - wanted_width) / 2`.
|
|
|
|
## Not ported from v4
|
|
|
|
- System monitor widget (widget id unknown in v5), per-widget options such as hover-only labels.
|
|
- v4 plugins (`polkit-agent`): v5 has a built-in `polkit` panel instead.
|
|
- The v4 bar only ran on DP-1; v5 runs on every output.
|
|
|
|
## Rolling back
|
|
|
|
Set autostart to `qs -c noctalia-shell` again and restore the `qs ... ipc call` binds from git history.
|
|
This needs a `noctalia-shell` that works with the installed Qt version.
