Ax-Shell is a hackable desktop shell for the Hyprland Wayland compositor, built in Python with GTK3 and the Fabric framework. It provides widgets like a bar, notch, notifications, and dynamic theming via matugen.

Use cases

  • customize my hyprland desktop shell
  • add a status bar and widgets to wayland
  • dynamic color theming for my linux desktop
  • build a hackable shell with python and gtk
  • replace waybar with a more customizable shell

When to choose

  • you want a Python-hackable shell on Hyprland and don't mind an unmaintained project
  • you want to fork or study its widget code

When to avoid

  • starting a new setup - it is deprecated in favor of Ambxst
  • you need ongoing updates, bug fixes, or support
  • you don't use Hyprland or Wayland
