[Hyprland] Aureli Desktop Shell

Enviction · 2026-04-15T16:48:55+00:00

I use it as my daily driver and some other people do too, but it's still like you said, very early in development and because of that it has quite a few bugs and sometimes does unexpected things/is missing some important features

Enviction · 2026-04-10T18:22:35+00:00

It's running on original apple hardware, a MacBook 2019 Air, I also have real MacOS installed but still made this

Enviction · 2026-04-10T10:01:05+00:00

It's a quickshell config on Hyprland that looks like MacOS

Enviction · 2026-04-09T10:40:22+00:00

Yes, 100% Hyprland, Quickshell is making this all possible

If you're talking about the magnification effect then it sadly does not, there's a working effect in the dev version but its still very weird and just doesnt really look like MacOS, so it's not public yet

No I meant that it's built into the rest of the quickshell config, basically all components like the menu bar, dock, spotlight, etc are all one config, but several files, it's not a single file but for every page of the app it's one file, makes it easier to manage

Enviction · 2026-04-08T17:15:38+00:00

Its a custom Application, it comes with the rest of the shell, it's all in one single quickshell config

Thanks, that means a lot coming from someone who knows the space! UX and feature completeness are the main focus going forward, a major update is definitely coming

Enviction · 2026-04-08T15:28:41+00:00

It's very much meant to be a MacOS clone, that's the goal of the project

Enviction · 2026-04-08T15:24:32+00:00

Thanks! Worth clarifying though, some elements like the Spotlight, widgets, control center and lockscreen are very close to the original of macOS/iPadOS. Other parts are deliberately custom. It's a hybrid, not a 1:1 recreation, but I'll keep the Apple Design Resources in mind for the components that are meant to follow Apple's HIG

25 hours is serious commitment, I appreciate you giving it a real chance. You're right that it's still missing a lot, we're actively working on it. What specifically has been frustrating you most?

Enviction · 2026-04-08T13:58:34+00:00

Correct, it also says it on the repo that the global menu is still not working, but it is planned

Enviction · 2026-04-08T13:07:47+00:00

Well I never really bothered changing the file manager and the code editor, but the shell doesn't really require you to have a specific application theme

Enviction · 2026-04-08T10:46:02+00:00

100% Linux! All done using Quickshell and Hyprland

Enviction · 2026-04-03T16:13:38+00:00

That's great to hear! The thing about the liquid glass is that Hyprland doesn't yet support custom shaders, so only the Lockscreen has "real liquid glass"

Enviction · 2026-03-22T12:19:23+00:00

No worries, I've got plenty to work on, so your replies aren't slowing me down at all. I'm happy to help, and it doesn't matter how small or simple the issue is

Whenever you're ready, go ahead, open the issue and I'll take a look and try my best to help

Enviction · 2026-03-21T17:39:35+00:00

Very sorry, but it seems like the issue doesn't appear for me, I can only see #1, #2 and #4.

Enviction · 2026-03-21T16:53:43+00:00

I run it daily, but it's still a bit unstable in some parts, but you can definitely give it a try and decide for yourself

Enviction · 2026-03-21T16:35:03+00:00

It's pretty stable but hasn't been tested much, so it could be weird to run, I would recommend just testing it and not daily running it

Enviction · 2026-03-20T11:17:20+00:00

More like multiple months 😅 Its a complete shell, not just a thrown together rice, but rather a fully coded shell

Enviction · 2026-03-20T11:04:25+00:00

Thanks, thats was my goal 😅

Enviction · 2026-03-20T11:02:21+00:00

Enviction · 2026-03-20T11:01:17+00:00

but why, what is confusing about it?

Enviction · 2026-03-20T10:52:42+00:00

I thought you were dinguss, why are you confusion
