The workspace/window panel couldn't be scrolled: it snapped back to the top
about once a second. Nothing to do with the hologram overlay (a DrawingArea
with can_target=False that only ever queue_draw()s itself) — it was the 1 Hz
refresh that start_polling() runs while the menu is open. Both of its
callbacks called _rebuild_panel(), which did _clear(self._panel) and rebuilt
every widget, including a fresh Gtk.ScrolledWindow for the list. Emptying
scrolled content collapses the scroll adjustment's upper bound, so its value
is clamped back to 0 and the viewport jumps to the top.
The panel scaffolding (header, layout stack + switcher, list scroller) is now
built once in _build_panel_scaffold() and refreshed in place by _update_panel:
* The layout tabs are the same for every workspace — only the selection is
per-workspace, and _sync_layout_controls() already refreshes that — so
they no longer get torn down either.
* _update_window_list() compares the sorted window addresses with the last
set. Unchanged: row contents (title, ws N, icon) are updated in place, so
a retitled window can't move the viewport. Changed: only the rows are
rebuilt, and both scrollers' offsets are saved and restored on idle, once
the new rows are allocated and the adjustment's upper is no longer stale.
* _rebuild_strip() gets the same signature guard, so the poll stops
resetting the compact strip's horizontal scroll and no longer tears down a
grouped app's instance popover while it's open. It keys on addresses only:
strip titles are tooltip/popover-only and refresh on the next real change.
Applied identically to hyprlua and hyprdrive.

astro-menu
A touch-friendly GTK4 popup control centre for the hyprlua desktop, replacing
nwg-dock and nwg-drawer. Triggered from the EWW top bar (or Super+D).
Layout: a 2×2 quad grid of feature modules over a full-width application drawer. Any quad can expand to overlay the other three; the drawer can expand to the bottom of the screen. A single margined root box letterboxes the menu identically in every state.
Stack
- Frontend: Python + PyGObject + GTK4, as a
wlr-layer-shellsurface (gtk4-layer-shell). Chosen over Lua because lgi/Astal-Lua only support GTK3. - Location map: a static OSM image stitched from tiles (
backend/staticmap.py, Pillow). libshumate does not paint tiles in this environment (the officialshumate-demoshows the same blank map), though tile downloads work — hence the static fallback. - Services: Astal GObject libraries via introspection —
AstalNetwork,AstalBluetooth,AstalApps— plus our own IP-geolocation singleton. - Backends: Python/Bash scripts in
backend/(JSON on stdout), run async viaGio.Subprocessso nothing blocks the UI. - Theme:
style/_colors.css(@define-color, generated from~/Dotfiles/colors.confbyapply-theme.sh) +style/style.css.
Running
main.py is single-instance. The autostart launches a hidden resident daemon;
verbs are forwarded over D-Bus:
scripts/astro-menu-start.sh # resident daemon (hidden); sets LD_PRELOAD
scripts/menu-toggle.sh # --toggle
scripts/menu-toggle.sh appdrawer # open with the app drawer expanded
astro-menu-start.sh must LD_PRELOAD libgtk4-layer-shell (it loads after
libwayland under PyGObject otherwise).
Adding a module
- Create
modules/<name>.pyexposing a top-levelSPEC = ModuleSpec(...)whosebuild(ctx)returns aModuleInstance(compact=…, expanded=…, …).compactshows in the 2×2 cell; a distinctexpandedwidget enables the expand button (they must be separate instances — GTK widgets have one parent).- Declare per-feature toggles via
features=[Feature("id", "Label", default)]; read them withctx.feature("id"). A disabled quad never callsbuild(). - Shared state (network, bluetooth, location) is on
ctx.services.
- Append its
SPECtoALL_SPECSinregistry.py. Nothing else changes.
