noctalia-qs

noctalia-qs is a custom fork of Quickshell — a flexible QtQuick-based desktop shell toolkit for Wayland. It serves as the shell framework powering Noctalia Shell.

What is noctalia-qs?

noctalia-qs extends Quickshell with features and patches specific to the Noctalia shell ecosystem, including:

  • ext-background-effect-v1 Wayland protocol support
  • Noctalia-specific build defaults and configuration

The binary is named qs and is a drop-in replacement for quickshell when using Noctalia Shell.

Credits

noctalia-qs is built on top of Quickshell, developed by outfoxxed and contributors.

All credit for the core framework goes to the Quickshell project and its contributors.
