New leaner Hyprland DE (setup/modules/Desktop-Environments/hyprdrive.sh),
a sibling of hyprlua that drops the older EWW/nwg-shell/wofi/walker/
ulauncher stack in favor of a purpose-built, GTK4 layer-shell component
suite sharing one CyberQueer hologram visual language:
- orbit-menu radial power/utility menu (focal-point zoom nav, holographic
overlay, cosmetic satellites)
- horizon-dock hover-scrollable orbital app dock (open windows/favorites/
all apps orbits, SNI tray satellite)
- astro-menu astal-menu re-themed as a hologram info display (Location/
Weather/Bluetooth/Network quads, taskbar, app drawer)
- station-bar the EWW top bar's replacement ("Voidstation Status Bar"):
a thin curved layer-shell bar tracking Hyprland workspaces/
active window natively over .socket2.sock, no polling
Every component now shares one consistent hologram treatment: translucent
violet panel/node fills (replacing solid gray), a config-toggleable
scanline+sweep+noise overlay (lib/hologram.py, ported to horizon-dock and
station-bar to match orbit-menu/astro-menu), and glow-on-hover throughout.
Also adds horizon-dock to hyprlua (built there first, before hyprdrive
existed) and wires dependency checks, config-updater entries, and
apply-theme.sh color sync for every new component across both DEs.

New GTK4 layer-shell radial menu (desktopenvs/hyprlua/orbit-menu/), following
astal-menu's single-instance D-Bus daemon conventions. Super+Shift+O opens
straight into a Power ring (sleep/reboot/poweroff/soft-reboot via hyprshutdown);
Super+Ctrl+O opens the full 5-category root (Power, Tools, Scripts sourced live
from ~/Documents/Scripts, Management, and a live open-Windows list with
go-to/bring-here/close/force-kill/get-pid/send-to-workspace actions). Adds a
round launcher button to all 3 eww bar variants with matching glow/hover CSS.
Also retunes hypridle (lock 30s, sleep 1min) and adds a HibernateDelaySec
systemd-sleep.conf.d fragment (deployed by sysupdate.sh) so the machine
hibernates ~80 minutes after going idle instead of drifting to sleep indefinitely.
A touch-friendly GTK4 popup control centre (Python + PyGObject, wlr-layer-shell)
launched from the EWW bar or Super+D. Replaces nwg-dock and nwg-drawer.
Layout: a floating, drawn-bordered panel (anchored top-centre so it never blocks
the rest of the screen) with a 2x2 quad grid over a full-width app drawer, plus a
top taskbar. Any quad expands over the others; the drawer expands to the bottom.
Modules:
- Location — static OSM map (backend/staticmap.py) on IP geolocation
(libshumate won't paint tiles in this env; shumate-demo is blank too)
- Weather — wttr.in ANSI art rendered via an SGR parser into a TextView
- Bluetooth — AstalBluetooth: discovery/connect/disconnect + local history
- Network — AstalNetwork wifi + nmcli/ip/ss for IP, DHCP/manual, routes, ports,
public IP; per-feature toggles
- Taskbar — open windows from hyprctl, grouped by app with pop-out per instance
- Favorites — pinned apps (right-click/long-press to pin) atop the app drawer
Notes:
- Frontend is Python/GTK4, not Lua: lgi/Astal-Lua are GTK3-only.
- Module borders are drawn with a Cairo overlay (lib/border.py); this GTK build's
renderer skips CSS border/background on plain container widgets.
- Consumes Astal GObject libs (io/apps/network/bluetooth) via introspection.
Wiring: autostart + Super+D/Super+Shift+A binds, EWW launcher button in all three
bar variants, apply-theme.sh (_colors.css), installer packages, config-updater.
drawer.sh moved to scripts/deprecated/.

Add a self-contained CyberQueer login skin for the greetd/ReGreet greeter and
make it a first-class, selectable module.
Theme:
- New etc-greetd/regreet.css: login-specific stylesheet (glowing pink clock +
card, violet-bordered combos, hot-pink Login, quiet red-outline power
buttons). Loaded by ReGreet at APPLICATION priority over an Adwaita-dark base;
regreet.toml theme_name switched cyberqueer->Adwaita to avoid the desktop
theme's `* { all: unset }`. Redefines Adwaita's accent/destructive named
colours so the semantic buttons recolour. Verified via headless demo render.
- Register regreet.css in apply-theme.sh SYS_FILES so palette edits propagate.
Installers:
- modules.conf: add greetd-regreet (three-way mutually exclusive with lightdm+ly).
- Regenerate tui-install.sh, generate-answerfile.sh, docs/md/modules.md via
generate-modules.sh.
- install-modules.sh (hand-maintained): add greetd-regreet to counter/menu/
summary/dispatch.
Migration:
- New migrate-to-greetd.sh: migrate to Plymouth + greetd/ReGreet (greetd is the
target, so it's not in the disable list). migrate-to-lightdm.sh relabelled the
Xorg alternative.

Qt: replace QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE/QT_STYLE_SHEET env vars with QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt6ct +
QT_QUICK_CONTROLS_STYLE=Fusion; add cyberqueer Qt6 style plugin (QProxyStyle wrapping
Fusion with hardcoded dark palette); enable custom_palette in qt6ct.conf so qt6ct applies
the dark QPalette directly for both Qt Widgets and Qt Quick apps.
GTK: fix dark mode not applying — set gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=1 in GTK3
settings.ini; add gsettings color-scheme=prefer-dark to install script (required by
libadwaita apps which ignore gtk-theme-name); add index.theme so the theme is recognized
by GTK theme discovery.

- New apply-theme.sh: reads colors.conf, diffs against saved state,
applies changed hex values across all 26 theme files via sed.
Refuses to run when any deployed config is symlinked back to ~/Dotfiles
to prevent theme changes from propagating into the git repo.
- New colors.conf: editable color source with the default CyberQueer palette.
- hyprland.sh + hyprland-new.sh: copy colors.conf to ~/.config/ and
apply-theme.sh to ~/ at install (instead of symlinking colors.conf).
- sway.sh: wire colors.conf into the sway install path.
- doc/colorcodes.md: rewritten as structured color reference with format table.
Theme source files in the repo are unchanged from upstream (E40046 palette).
