- hypr/layouts/: drop-in layout registry. init.lua auto-discovers layouts/<name>.lua
(each self-describing) and exposes the global `layouts` table: set_default (picked
in hyprland.lua — now scrolling, direction down), set(ws,name,dir) for live
per-workspace switching (verified it re-tiles the active ws), set_fit(0/1). Writes
a manifest + per-ws state for the menu. Ships scrolling/dwindle/master/monocle.
- Scrolling default: column_width 0.5 (active column < viewport so prev/next stay
clickable), focus_fit_method 1 (centered follow), fullscreen_on_one_column.
- astal-menu taskbar pop-open: workspace layout selector + direction + a "Centered"
toggle (focus_fit_method), and a per-window list — [icon+title → jump][⇤ here →
pull to current workspace], keeping jump-to-window intact.
- eww bar menu buttons open the menu explicitly from the top (menu-toggle.sh toggle top).

The Open-windows taskbar dispatched `hyprctl dispatch focuswindow address:…`,
but this is a hyprlua setup where `hyprctl dispatch` evaluates its argument as
Lua — so the native dispatcher syntax raised a Lua parse error and nothing
happened. Switch to `hl.dsp.focus({ window = "address:…" })`, the hyprlua focus
dispatcher, which focuses the window and switches to its workspace. Verified it
moves across workspaces end-to-end.

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/.
