# Owlry [![AUR](https://img.shields.io/aur/version/owlry?logo=archlinux&label=AUR)](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/owlry) [![Rust](https://img.shields.io/badge/rust-1.90%2B-orange.svg)](https://www.rust-lang.org/) [![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-GPL--3.0-blue.svg)](LICENSE) [![GTK4](https://img.shields.io/badge/GTK-4.12-green.svg)](https://gtk.org/) [![Wayland](https://img.shields.io/badge/Wayland-native-blueviolet.svg)](https://wayland.freedesktop.org/) A lightweight, owl-themed application launcher for Wayland, built with GTK4 and Layer Shell. ## Features - **Provider-based architecture** - Search applications, PATH commands, and systemd user services - **Fuzzy search** - Fast, typo-tolerant matching across all providers - **Filter tabs & prefixes** - Scope searches with UI tabs or `:app`, `:cmd`, `:uuctl` prefixes - **Systemd integration** - Manage user services with submenu actions (start/stop/restart/status/journal) - **GTK4 theming** - Respects system theme by default, with optional custom themes - **CSS variables** - Full customization via config or custom stylesheets - **Wayland native** - Uses Layer Shell for proper overlay behavior ## Installation ### Arch Linux (AUR) ```bash # Using yay yay -S owlry # Using paru paru -S owlry ``` ### Build from source #### Dependencies ```bash # Arch Linux sudo pacman -S gtk4 gtk4-layer-shell # Ubuntu/Debian sudo apt install libgtk-4-dev libgtk4-layer-shell-dev # Fedora sudo dnf install gtk4-devel gtk4-layer-shell-devel ``` #### Build Requires Rust 1.90 or later. ```bash git clone https://somegit.dev/Owlibou/owlry.git cd owlry cargo build --release ``` The binary will be at `target/release/owlry`. ## Usage ```bash # Launch with default settings (GTK theme, all providers) owlry # Launch with only applications owlry --mode app # Launch with specific providers owlry --providers app,cmd # Show help owlry --help ``` ### Keyboard Shortcuts | Key | Action | |-----|--------| | `Enter` | Launch selected item | | `Escape` | Close launcher / exit submenu | | `↑` / `↓` | Navigate results | | `Tab` | Cycle filter modes | | `Shift+Tab` | Cycle filter modes (reverse) | | `Ctrl+1` | Toggle Applications filter | | `Ctrl+2` | Toggle Commands filter | | `Ctrl+3` | Toggle systemd filter | ### Search Prefixes | Prefix | Scope | |--------|-------| | `:app ` | Applications only | | `:cmd ` | PATH commands only | | `:uuctl ` | systemd user services only | Example: `:cmd git` searches only PATH commands for "git" ## Configuration Configuration file: `~/.config/owlry/config.toml` ```toml [general] show_icons = true max_results = 10 # terminal_command = "kitty" # Auto-detected if not set # launch_wrapper = "uwsm app --" # Auto-detected for uwsm/hyprland sessions [appearance] width = 600 height = 400 font_size = 14 border_radius = 12 # theme = "owl" # Optional: "owl" or custom theme name # [appearance.colors] # Override individual colors (optional) # accent = "#e0af68" # background = "#1a1b26" [providers] applications = true commands = true uuctl = true ``` ### Default Values | Setting | Default | |---------|---------| | `show_icons` | `true` | | `max_results` | `10` | | `terminal_command` | Auto-detected ($TERMINAL → xdg-terminal-exec → kitty/alacritty/etc) | | `launch_wrapper` | Auto-detected (uwsm → hyprctl → none) | | `width` | `600` | | `height` | `400` | | `font_size` | `14` | | `border_radius` | `12` | | `theme` | None (GTK default) | ### Launch Wrapper When running in uwsm-managed or Hyprland sessions, owlry auto-detects and uses the appropriate launch wrapper for proper session integration: | Session | Wrapper | Purpose | |---------|---------|---------| | uwsm | `uwsm app --` | Proper systemd scope and session management | | Hyprland | `hyprctl dispatch exec --` | Native Hyprland window management | | Other | None (direct `sh -c`) | Standard shell execution | You can override this with `launch_wrapper` in config, or set to empty string `""` to disable. ## Theming ### GTK Theme (Default) By default, Owlry inherits colors from your system GTK4 theme (Adwaita, Breeze, etc.). ### Owl Theme Enable the built-in owl-inspired dark theme: ```toml [appearance] theme = "owl" ``` ### Custom Theme Create a custom theme file at `~/.config/owlry/themes/mytheme.css`: ```css :root { --owlry-bg: #1e1e2e; --owlry-bg-secondary: #313244; --owlry-border: #45475a; --owlry-text: #cdd6f4; --owlry-text-secondary: #a6adc8; --owlry-accent: #f38ba8; --owlry-accent-bright: #f5c2e7; } ``` Then reference it in config: ```toml [appearance] theme = "mytheme" ``` ### CSS Variables Reference | Variable | Description | |----------|-------------| | `--owlry-bg` | Main background | | `--owlry-bg-secondary` | Secondary surfaces | | `--owlry-border` | Border color | | `--owlry-text` | Primary text | | `--owlry-text-secondary` | Muted text | | `--owlry-accent` | Accent/highlight color | | `--owlry-accent-bright` | Bright accent | | `--owlry-font-size` | Base font size | | `--owlry-border-radius` | Border radius | | `--owlry-badge-app` | Application badge color | | `--owlry-badge-cmd` | Command badge color | | `--owlry-badge-dmenu` | Dmenu badge color | | `--owlry-badge-uuctl` | systemd badge color | ### Custom Stylesheet For full control, create `~/.config/owlry/style.css` with any GTK4 CSS. ## Providers ### Applications Searches `.desktop` files from standard XDG directories. ### Commands Searches executable files in `$PATH`. ### systemd User Services Lists and controls user-level systemd services.
