Building a polished, accessible desktop experience for Hyprland.

Tools that make Hyprland feel like a complete desktop — modular enough to use independently, coordinated enough to install as one tested session.

• Villode Caelestia — pinned Shell, Chinese UI and a unified component installer.
• Villode Dock — a GTK3 Dock with compositor-native blur, drag ordering and Launcher integration.
• Villode Launcher — a GTK4 application grid with search, categories and keyboard-first control.
• Villode Desktop — a background layer for static images, video and local or remote HTML.
• Villode OS — an ArchISO-based path from the component stack to a bootable desktop image.

Everything starts in the terminal. I prototype in Python and Bash, pin complete component commits, test them together in a live Hyprland session, and only then move them into the release channel.

terminal → prototype → pin → live test → verify → ship

Design principles

• Native Wayland first — no X11 fallback hidden behind the interface.
• Keyboard-accessible — core actions stay reachable through predictable Super shortcuts.
• Recoverable changes — existing sessions remain available unless replacement is explicitly requested.
• Glass blur where it communicates depth or state, not on every surface.
• One installer that remains understandable from either TTY or desktop.
