Add desktop entry file to hide the xfce4-about application from application menus. Since xfce4-about is a dependency of Thunar through libxfce4ui and does not require a full XFCE session, this entry prevents it from appearing in application launchers by leveraging XDG_DATA_DIRS priority where /usr/local/share takes precedence over /usr/share.
Add a Python-based power menu script that works with both Hyprland (Wayland) and i3 (X11) desktop environments. Supports lock, logout, suspend, reboot, and poweroff actions with appropriate display server backends (wofi for Hyprland, rofi for i3).
Add a new GTK3-based Python application that displays an "About FWS" dialog with two tabs:
- "Le projet FWS" tab: shows project name, description, features, and home URL
- "Système" tab: displays system information including OS, kernel, desktop environment, hardware (CPU, memory, GPUs, disks)
The application detects system information from /proc, lsblk, lspci, and environment variables. It replaces the default Xfce About dialog with FWS branding.
Update package lists for Hyprland and i3 desktop environments:
- Replace thunar file manager with dolphin (KDE's file manager)
- Add kio-extras for dolphin functionality
- Replace gvfs with udisks2 for USB mounting
- Update comments to reflect new mount mechanism
This change improves consistency and provides better integration for the respective desktop environments.
Add a new power module to the polybar configuration that displays a power icon and triggers the fws-powermenu command on click. The module is styled with red foreground color and integrated into the modules-right bar.
Replace thunar file manager with dolphin for consistency.
Add power menu keybinding (Super+X) for shutdown/restart operations.
Add floating window rules for fws-hello and fws-about applications.
Import Gdk and GLib modules to properly configure window behavior.
Set deterministic WM_CLASS using GLib.set_prgname() so that i3/Hyprland
window rules targeting "fws-hello" floating window behavior work correctly.
Set window type hint to DIALOG and disable resizing to ensure the window
remains floating with its natural size instead of being stretched across
the entire workspace, which would result in unreadable layout.
Add rofi configuration file with FWS styling matching the Hyprland wofi look. Includes dark background, blue borders and selection, icon support, and Catppuccin Mocha color scheme.
Install rofi configuration file (rofi-config.rasi) for i3 desktop to provide an application menu with FWS styling, equivalent to wofi in Hyprland. Configure rofi for both skeleton and existing user home directories with proper ownership settings.
Add a new shell script that checks for available package updates using checkupdates from pacman-contrib. The script outputs the number of available updates with an icon for use in waybar/polybar status bars. Silent output when no updates are available allows the bar module to hide.
Add fws-update script to provide a one-command system update solution accessible from taskbar, fws-hello menu, or terminal.
The script performs:
- System update via pacman -Syu
- Package cache cleanup (retains 2 latest versions)
- Orphaned package detection and optional removal
- Flatpak updates if available
Requires root privileges and prompts for user confirmation on orphan removal.
Add a comprehensive system recovery tool that:
- Detects FWS installations on disks including LVM volumes
- Mounts target root filesystem with /boot and ESP partitions
- Provides interactive menu for common repair operations:
- GRUB reinstallation (UEFI and BIOS support)
- Initramfs regeneration via mkinitcpio
- Pacman database repair and system updates
- Interactive chroot shell for manual intervention
The script handles automatic LVM activation, filesystem detection via os-release, and proper cleanup on exit.
Add a user-friendly bash script that automates downloading and installing
Proton-GE (GloriousEggroll) for Steam. The script fetches the latest release
from GitHub, verifies integrity with SHA512 checksums, and installs it to the
user's Steam compatibility tools directory. Includes error handling and user
guidance for Steam configuration.
Add a new GTK3-based welcome window script that displays on first boot after installation. The script provides quick access to system setup tasks including system update, multimedia codecs installation, Proton-GE setup, VR configuration, and keyboard shortcuts (on Hyprland/i3). Users can opt to hide the window on subsequent boots via a checkbox and flag file.
Add desktop entry file to automatically launch fws-hello welcome window on first startup. This provides a user-friendly greeting interface when the system boots.
- Add python-gobject for fws-hello welcome window (GTK3 comes with Firefox)
- Add pacman-contrib for checkupdates/paccache (update indicator and fws-update)
- Enable firewalld.service by default with public zone (blocks inbound, allows outbound)
- firewalld is already in the base image and can be activated offline
- GUI included in firewall-config package; KDE has additional plasma-firewall
Add a new custom/updates module to the waybar right-side modules that displays available system updates. The module executes fws-updates-check every 30 minutes (1800 seconds) and allows users to install updates by clicking, which launches a kitty terminal running fws-update. Tooltip text is displayed in French.
Add a new custom script module to check for system updates in the polybar status bar. The module runs fws-updates-check every 30 minutes and allows users to trigger updates with a left click to open the update utility in kitty terminal.
Add execution of fws-hello with --autostart flag to display a welcome window on first boot only. The window will automatically hide after the initial startup.
Add execution of fws-hello with --autostart flag to display a welcome window on first launch. The window will be automatically hidden on subsequent startups.
Add mangohud and lib32-mangohud packages to the desktop environment setup for gaming performance monitoring. Mangohud provides an in-game FPS and performance metrics overlay that can be used with Steam games via '%command%' prefix.
Rename fws-hypr-keys to fws-keys and extend it to support both Hyprland and i3 desktop environments. The tool now detects the session type and uses appropriate methods:
- Hyprland: queries hyprctl binds for real loaded bindings (wofi dmenu)
- i3: parses ~/.config/i3/config with variable resolution (rofi dmenu)
Update all references in configs and templates. Add VM detection warning in fws-vr-setup to prevent VR attempts in virtual machines where GPU/USB access is unavailable.
Add ttf-liberation font dependency for Steam UI stability on minimal installations and improve error guidance for Steam crashes.
Add scalable SVR icon for the fws-vr-setup launcher using FWS/Catppuccin color palette. The icon depicts a VR headset with straps, lenses, and nose notch in blue and dark theme colors.
Add desktop application entry for VR setup tool that allows users to install drivers and runtimes for VR headsets including HTC Vive, Valve Index, and Meta Quest devices. The application launches fws-vr-setup command in a kitty terminal.
Add FWS default i3 configuration file with X11 session support.
Includes:
- Color scheme based on Catppuccin Mocha palette
- Keyboard bindings for common applications and window management
- VR headset driver setup integration (Super+Shift+V)
- Multi-monitor and workspace navigation support
- Screenshot and multimedia control bindings
- Status bar configuration with i3status
- Autostart for dunst, nm-applet, polkit-gnome, and blueman
Add interactive shell script for installing VR drivers and runtimes based on headset type. Supports HTC Vive/Valve Index (native SteamVR), Meta Quest/Pico (ALVR streaming), and Monado (OpenXR runtime). Script automatically detects GPU and installs appropriate 32-bit Vulkan libraries required by SteamVR. Includes multilib configuration and user guidance for each VR setup path.
Add i3 window manager as a selectable desktop environment option in the anaconda kickstart configuration. Includes:
- i3-wm with essential packages (i3status, i3lock, rofi, kitty, etc.)
- X11 server requirement for VR compatibility (SteamVR incompatible with Wayland)
- Bluetooth service enablement for i3 sessions
- Icon cache update for VR launcher visibility in rofi
- i3 configuration template installation for skeleton and existing users
- Keyboard layout handling via X11 xorg.conf.d (no keyboard injection needed)
This enables users to install a lightweight X11-based desktop environment with VR support capabilities.
Include blueman in the base packages for i3 desktop environment, alongside hyprland and xfce, to provide graphical bluetooth management and pairing assistant for i3 users.
Prevent blueman-applet from showing connection errors in virtual machines where no Bluetooth adapter is present. The applet now checks for the existence of a Bluetooth adapter in /sys/class/bluetooth before launching.
This change adds a conditional check that gracefully skips the applet initialization when no hardware is available, improving user experience in VM environments.
Add PipeWire audio stack (pipewire, pipewire-pulse, wireplumber, pavucontrol)
and Bluetooth support (bluez, bluez-utils, blueman) to xfce and hyprland
package lists to ensure they are installed alongside the desktop environment.
Enable bluetooth.service at installation time for hyprland to have Bluetooth
ready at first boot. Update comments to reflect the new guaranteed installation
of audio and Bluetooth components as part of the desktop environment transaction.
Add blueman-applet to the exec-once commands for bluetooth management.
Remove the Steam launcher keybinding (SUPER+KP_Multiply) from the configuration.
Add a new CSS stylesheet for wofi (application launcher menu triggered with Super+R) that implements the Catppuccin Mocha blue color scheme. The stylesheet includes styling for the window, input field, menu entries, and selection states with rounded corners and appropriate contrast ratios.
Add CSS stylesheet for the FWS keyboard shortcuts panel (fws-hypr-keys) using monospace font to align key combinations with descriptions. Uses the same color palette as the wofi menu with Catppuccin theme colors.
Add missing packages for hyprland desktop environment:
- mako + libnotify for notifications
- polkit-gnome for GUI authentication
- network-manager-applet for network management in tray
- xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland for screen sharing
- gvfs for USB mounting in thunar
- ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols for waybar icons
Add start-hyprland launcher support for hyprland ≥0.53 to properly prepare systemd session/environment.
Add wofi configuration files (config and style.css) for application menu styling.
Update skeleton directory setup to install wofi configs for new users and fix chown path formatting.
Update waybar-style.css to version 2 with the following changes:
- Switch to Catppuccin Mocha color scheme with blue accents
- Redesign bar as floating rounded container instead of bottom border
- Style modules as pill-shaped boxes with individual backgrounds
- Add Nerd Font symbols support for better icons
- Improve workspace buttons with hover effects and transitions

Add brightnessctl for brightness control without root via logind,
consumed by XF86MonBrightness* keys and waybar backlight module.
Add blueman as graphical Bluetooth manager for desktop environments
that don't provide their own (KDE and GNOME have built-in managers).
Blueman provides system tray integration and pairing assistant.
Update comments to clarify the purpose of these new packages.
- Import os module to check for style file existence
- Add _STYLE constant pointing to wofi-keys.css stylesheet
- Increase wofi window dimensions from 780x560 to 820x600
- Conditionally apply custom style if the stylesheet exists
- Refactor wofi command construction for better readability
Introduce a new SDDM theme "fws" designed for FWS with support for KDE, XFCE, and Hyprland desktop environments.
The theme is built using pure QtQuick and QtQuick.Controls (Basic style) with no additional dependencies beyond what SDDM already requires. It includes:
- Main.qml: Custom login screen with clock, date, user/password fields, session selector, and power controls
- metadata.desktop: Theme metadata and configuration
- theme.conf: Default configuration with customizable accent color and gradient colors
The design uses a dark theme with accent colors and supports capslock detection and login error handling.
Add CSS stylesheet for Waybar that matches the FWS theme, SDDM appearance, and Hyprland borders. Includes styling for workspaces, clock, custom key help button, and system status modules with Catppuccin blue accent color (#89b4fa).
Add waybar panel configuration with modules for workspaces, window title, clock, volume, network, CPU, and memory monitoring. Configured for top panel layout with French localization support.
Add a new Python utility script that displays actual Hyprland keyboard shortcuts from hyprctl binds output. The script:
- Queries hyprctl binds to get loaded key bindings from the compositor
- Formats keybinds with human-readable modifiers and key labels (French localization)
- Displays descriptions from bindd config entries or falls back to dispatcher actions
- Opens results in wofi dmenu for incremental search and filtering
- Handles special keys like mouse buttons, arrow keys, and common special keys
- Deduplicates repeated bindings (e.g., from resize actions)
No additional dependencies required beyond python3 and wofi (already in FWS + Hyprland packages).
