DankMaterialShell is a complete desktop shell for Wayland compositors built with Quickshell (QML) and a Go backend. It replaces the usual patchwork of waybar, swaylock, swayidle, mako, fuzzel, and polkit with a unified, themable interface including a dashboard, launcher, control center, and system monitor.
Use cases
- give my hyprland setup a full desktop shell with a bar and launcher
- replace waybar, mako, and fuzzel with one integrated shell
- get a control center and system monitor on niri
- auto-theme my desktop from my wallpaper with material design colors
- add a lock screen, idle manager, and notifications to sway
- use a polished shell on labwc or MiracleWM
When to choose
- you run a supported Wayland compositor (niri, Hyprland, sway, MangoWC, labwc, MiracleWM) and want a batteries-included shell
- you want dynamic Material Design 3 theming driven by your wallpaper
- you prefer one cohesive suite over stitching together many separate tools
When to avoid
- you are on X11 or a non-Wayland desktop environment like GNOME or KDE
- you want a minimal setup with only a status bar and prefer individual tools
- your compositor is not among the supported ones and you don't want manual configuration
