The sidebar was a flat scan of thirty-one rows; now it reads like a settings app. Multi-subject categories (Input, Network & Sharing, Applications, Users & Accounts, Privacy & Security, System) carry an Appearance-style tab strip above the page, drawn by the shell so the leaf pages themselves are untouched. The taxonomy lives in one new file, services/SettingsRoutes.qml; the sidebar, the strip, route validation, search breadcrumbs, and both generators derive from it. ShellState.settingsPage still holds leaf ids, so every deep link, IPC call, and search result keeps working — and now lands on the exact tab. Dictation moves out of Sound onto its own page under Input, with a handoff back to Sound for the microphone. The strip scrolls when System's nine tabs outgrow a tiled window. All 161 contracts pass.

# Making it yours
|
|
|
|
## Settings
|
|
|
|
`Super + I`. Fifteen categories down the side, covering appearance, displays,
|
|
sound, input, network, power, accounts and the rest. A category with more than
|
|
one subject in it opens a row of tabs above the page, which is where the
|
|
narrower topics live: Printers is a tab of Network & Sharing, Dictation a tab
|
|
of Input, and About, Software Update, Storage, Snapshots and this manual are
|
|
tabs of System.
|
|
|
|
The search box at the top searches the settings themselves rather than page
|
|
names, and each result says where it will land, so if you know what you want
|
|
to change you can type it and never touch the sidebar.
|
|
|
|
## Appearance
|
|
|
|
Panama ships Tokyo Night Moon in a light and a dark variant, with eight
|
|
accent colours. Changing either repaints the shell, the terminal, GTK
|
|
applications, the lock screen and the system monitor at once.
|
|
|
|
The wallpaper is per-monitor if you want it to be.
|
|
|
|
## Applications
|
|
|
|
`panama apps` in a terminal offers the optional application categories the
|
|
installer asked about, so a machine can acquire Slack in March without having
|
|
wanted Discord in January.
|
|
|
|
`panama app` builds the handful of applications no repository carries. It is
|
|
deliberately not part of installing, because a source build is slow and
|
|
depends on an upstream that moves.
|
|
|
|
## Autostart and defaults
|
|
|
|
The Applications settings page controls which application opens which kind of
|
|
file, and what starts when you log in.
|
|
|
|
## Going further
|
|
|
|
The compositor is configured in Lua under `~/.config/hypr`, and every file
|
|
there explains what it does and why. `overrides.lua` is loaded last and is
|
|
the intended place for per-machine changes, so you can adjust anything
|
|
without editing a file the repository will update.
|
|
|
|
The shell is QML under `~/.config/quickshell`. Both directories are symlinks
|
|
into the Panama repository, so an edit is a change to your checkout and
|
|
`panama update` will offer to commit it.
