Ubuntu 26.04 · GNOME 50 + Hyprland 0.53 · Aura Dark

The home screen: aura-panel's cards on the desktop layer (they sit under windows), the aura-bar dock, and the top bar with the English · weekday · Nepali date.

Side panel

aura-panel (Super+D): power with confirmation, primary monitor, Ethernet / Wi-Fi / Bluetooth, notification history and Do Not Disturb. The same panel's home-screen cards (Docker stacks, now playing with a seekable spectrum bar, live CPU / memory / GPU / disk graphs, lights, sound) sit on the desktop.

Calendar

Click the top-bar clock: a month view in Gregorian or नेपाली (Bikram Sambat) with the other calendar's day under each date, previous/next month, Today, and Saturdays (Nepal's weekly holiday) in red.

Launcher

vicinae (Alt+Space) in the Aura theme; Super+Alt+V shows clipboard history in the same window.

Terminal

Ghostty with Neovim (the official Aura port), and macOS-style traffic-light titlebars from hyprbars.

Power menu

wlogout (Super+Esc): a 2 × 2 grid of Aura cards over the blurred wallpaper.

Lock screen

hyprlock: one Aura card with the time, the English · weekday · Nepali (BS) date, and an avatar from ~/.face (.config/hypr/scripts/set-avatar.sh <picture>), falling back to an initial.

Fresh setup

git clone https://github.com/kshitizwagle/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles && cd ~/dotfiles
scripts/packages.sh      # apt packages + BlexMono Nerd Font (sudo)
./install.sh             # symlink configs into $HOME (backs up existing files)
scripts/gnome.sh         # GNOME settings + extensions
scripts/gdm-theme.sh     # Aura login screen (sudo)
scripts/refind-theme.sh  # rEFInd config + Aura boot theme (sudo)

# Hyprland bar and side panel (Rust)
cargo install --path .config/hypr/aura-bar   --root ~/.local
cargo install --path .config/hypr/aura-panel --root ~/.local

Run ./install.sh --dry-run first to see what it will do.

• New machine? Add hosts/$(hostname)/ first (monitors, GPU order). See .claude/skills/new-machine.
• SSH: .ssh/config is gitignored. On first install it's seeded from .ssh/config.example, so fill in your own hosts.
• Wallpapers live in Pictures/wallpapers/ and are linked to ~/Pictures/wallpapers/. See the wallpapers README for previews and how to switch them.
• Nothing hardcodes a username or home path, so it works under any account.
