Desktop and cards

The desktop shows a big clock, the date, the sunrise / sunset path and a row of up to three glass cards.

Desktop

Customise desktop

Right click the desktop clock. The sheet has five tabs:

Tab
General language and the weather place (search through Open-Meteo geocoding), wallpaper
Layout how many cards, which card goes where, the clock (size, date, sunrise / sunset), the card background (light, normal, dark)
Garmin, Weather, Running what each card shows: the big number, the chart or vitals, the footer

Cards without their data source (below) are not offered in Layout.

Everything is saved to ~/.config/mist/widgets.json; the keys are listed in docs/CONFIG.md.

Cards

Weather

Open-Meteo, no account or key. Hourly curve (temperature, rain or wind), 4 days, a rain nowcast, the best running window, a clothing tip, sun and moon. The live sky behind the card follows the current conditions. Without a place set the card asks for one and nothing is fetched.

Garmin readiness and running (optional)

Your own Garmin Connect data through a local InfluxDB filled by garmin-grafana: readiness, Body Battery, sleep, HRV, stress, steps; days to the race, the week's plan, the last run, a 5 km prediction.

They need ~/.config/mist/influx.json. Without it these cards are not shown and not offered in the sheet, and the other cards close up. Setup: docs/guides/garmin.md (Polski).

Island on the desktop

The Dynamic Island sits at the top of the main monitor: media with an equalizer, timers, calls, notifications, volume, the next calendar event (feeds.json), rain alerts. Try the views with mist-ui-bin msg island demo <name> (Keybindings and IPC).
