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.
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.
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 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 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.
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 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.
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 tooltip styling and proper color coding for each module
- Update clock styling with dedicated background
- Enhance battery, network, and bluetooth status colors
- Refine spacing, padding, and border-radius throughout for modern appearance
Update waybar configuration with:
- Adjusted height (34 to 36) and spacing (4 to 2)
- Added margins (top: 6, left: 10, right: 10)
- Added workspace navigation with scroll (e-1/e+1)
- Added backlight, bluetooth, and battery modules
- Enhanced clock format with calendar styling
- Improved audio controls with pavucontrol integration
- Added network bandwidth display
- Updated all module icons to use modern emoji/nerd font glyphs
- Improved tooltips with more detailed information
- Adjusted max window name length from 55 to 45 characters
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
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).
Add comprehensive keybinding descriptions using bindd/binde for keyboard shortcut display, implement Catppuccin Mocha color scheme with blue gradient borders, enable animations with custom bezier curve, configure touchpad settings, add blur/shadow configuration for VM compatibility, implement scratchpad support, add screenshot and multimedia key bindings with PipeWire/playerctl integration, and define window floating rules.
Keybindings now match i3/sway FWS configuration with French descriptions that automatically appear in fws-hypr-keys shortcut viewer. Configuration includes multi-screen support, workspace navigation (1-10), window resizing, and various utility bindings.
Add fws-setup-hardware script that automatically detects and installs:
- GPU drivers (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel) based on lspci output
- Hypervisor guest tools (VMware, VirtualBox, QEMU, Hyper-V)
- Audio/mic/headset stack (PipeWire), Bluetooth (BlueZ), containers (Podman)
- Optional desktop stack when non-CLI desktop is selected: Steam, Wine, VR support (Monado/OpenXR), and winboat-bin
The script is integrated into the Anaconda kickstart post-installation phase and is non-blocking to prevent installation failures from missing packages or network issues.
Also update profiledef.sh to set correct permissions (755) for the new script.
Add Hyprland desktop environment support with:
- New hyprland.conf template with keyboard layout placeholders (__KB_LAYOUT__ and __KB_VARIANT__) that get injected during installation
- Hyprland wrapper script (/usr/local/bin/fws-hyprland) that detects virtual machines and forces software rendering to prevent compositor crashes on virtual GPUs (VMware vmwgfx, VirtualBox)
- Automatic configuration deployment to /etc/skel and existing user home directories
- Refactored keyboard layout detection logic (moved to section 3bis) to support both X11/SDDM and Hyprland configurations
- Added locale generation during installation to ensure proper language support
Keyboard layout is now derived from either kickstart configuration or system locale using langtable, providing consistent keyboard behavior across all desktop environments.
Replace automatic version reading from VERSION file with interactive prompts for version (major.minor.build) and ISO variant name (e.g., cli, gnome, kde).
Changes:
- Remove automatic VERSION file reading; now serves as default with prompt
- Add interactive prompts for version and variant name with validation
- Simplify ISO naming from FWS-v{major}-{minor}-{build}-{date}-x86_64.iso to fws-{version}-{variant}.iso
- Update hostname from 'archiso' to 'fws'
- Add custom FWS logo for fastfetch with color configuration
- Improve error messages and user feedback
This enables flexible build variants and streamlines the build process.
