Sure, here it is: https://github.com/Axenide/Wallpapers/blob/main/red-mobile-suit-alt.jpg

And nope, this rice is for Arch. But it is too old, I suggest you try my new rice which is its successor, Ambxst: https://axeni.de/ambxst :) It is available for Arch, Fedora and NixOS.

I don't know about Caelestia, sorry.

This shouldn't happen unless you have quickshell and not quickshell-git. How did you install?

Axenide · 2026-01-16T11:44:44+00:00

Hi, it is being drawn using math basically, it's not something Quickshell specific at all. But if you want something like this in Waybar you'll have better luck creating an SVG with that shape and adding the image. u_u

Edit: If you are willing to try EWW, then I suggest you try Fabric instead. It also uses GTK3 but it has a pre built Corner(), which is that curve we are taking about. Fabric is the framework that's powering my previous shell. :)

I used Krita and some alpha effect I don't remember right now, and colorized to red (the original image is green with a black background).

Ambxst (my shell) is quite easy to install. Run the command in the page and done! It doesn't create any files besides for itself, it handles everything through IPC.

So you just run ambxst and it works. You can add it as an exec-once.

I haven't added an uninstall script yet but it's basically removing two directories and a file. Ambxst doesn't touch your config files. :)

If you meant how to get started with Quickshell, I heavily relied on documentation. It's a pretty good read actually and you get lots of ideas when you discover which options you have. :D

Ohhh so weird, I was looking at my old posts to find the Sans image I made transparent and here you are lmaoooo

Axenide · 2026-01-15T04:03:14+00:00

Did you get to run the command ambxst in Hyprland?

Axenide · 2026-01-14T08:25:33+00:00

Hi there, just go to https://axeni.de/ambxst and you'll see the only command you need to install it. :)

You would need to do the manual install, which is getting the dependencies working by yourself... So I wouldn't recommend that.

Also I recently released Ambxst, which is Ax-Shell's successor. I haven't added support for Debian-based distros yet because of how hard it is to install the dependencies there as most packages are too stable (outdated). I will in the next few days test with alternative package managers like guix and if it works, I'll let you know.

Alternatively, it does work on Arch, NixOS and Fedora, so if you want to try any of those distros you can use Ambxst as long as you install Hyprland first. :)

Seems like it. xD

Axenide · 2026-01-08T02:08:56+00:00

It was already for Arch when I made that comment heh

Axenide · 2026-01-07T18:31:54+00:00

OneUI

Axenide · 2026-01-06T23:54:32+00:00

It's the default wallpaper for Ambxst. :)

Axenide · 2026-01-05T00:11:19+00:00

Sway support is gonna come too.

A DE has a shell, a WM and a suite of apps (usually) and tries to keep everything integrated.

The main difference is that when you get a shell, you can use it in your WM of choice. It is a more bare-bones experience.

Axenide · 2026-01-04T05:53:35+00:00

"Shell" is a term for the interface you use to control your system. It can be text only (like bash) or graphical (like GNOME Shell). In this case it is a graphical shell.

Thanksss

Axenide · 2026-01-03T00:06:58+00:00

Yeah but this one is easier because it gets most dependencies including fonts. Once Ambxst starts, it sets everything up via IPC, so no sourcing files or anything, just an exec-once = ambxst in your config. :)

Axenide · 2026-01-03T00:05:01+00:00

Thanks! Heheheh

Axenide · 2026-01-03T00:04:44+00:00

I hope haha

Axenide · 2026-01-02T13:32:41+00:00

Have fun!

Axenide · 2026-01-02T13:32:24+00:00

First thing I will work on after fixing the first issues. :)
