Notifications repeated both lock-screen switch labels for every application, so twenty apps meant sixty rows of the same two sentences and the page could not be scanned at all. Each app is one row now, carrying what its switches add up to -- "On, lock screen shows the sender only", "On, hidden on the lock screen", "Notifications off" -- with the switches behind it, one app open at a time. The identifier only appears while an app is open, which is the only time it disambiguates anything, and the content switch dims when the app cannot reach the lock screen at all, because there it means nothing. Shortcuts were already grouped; the problem was that "Windows" caught focus, movement, splitting, resizing and window state alike and held 43 of the 93 binds. A section that long is a list, not a grouping. They are separated by intent now -- Focus, Move & split, Size, Window state -- and the split was checked against the binds this machine actually has rather than trusted from the keywords. Order matters in two places worth naming: "Next window splits down" is about splitting rather than focus, and "Focus session" is quiet mode bound to a workspace rather than window focus, so both are settled before the general checks. Refresh rate gets its own row. That need was created by collapsing the resolution list: the rates for a resolution were only ever reachable by opening it, so changing nothing but the rate meant going through the mode you already had. It appears only when the current resolution offers more than one. Default-application rows carry a chevron, having previously opened a chooser while looking completely inert. The notification contract asserted the literal Notifs.appRule(app.id).enabled, which moved when the rows collapsed. The rule is still read through a binding on Notifs.appRule, so a rule changed elsewhere still reaches the row -- the assertion now requires that, rather than requiring one particular spelling of it. The power profile rows were left alone. A three-way choice in three rows looks wasteful until you notice each row explains what the profile does, and that page has empty space to spare; a segmented control would trade information for space that is not scarce.

Panama
Formerly Sunhat. A personal config for Fedora, with the intention of helping a user set up their Fedora system with one command.
git clone https://git.gbrown.org/gib/Panama.git ~/.local/share/Panama
~/.local/share/Panama/install
install runs everything in setup/scripts/ in order:
| Script | Does |
|---|---|
install-packages |
Repos (RPM Fusion, Terra, Hyprland COPR), then the four package lists in setup/packages/ |
link-dotfiles |
Symlinks config/dot/<name> → ~/.config/<name> |
change-settings |
Copies config/copy/ over /, applies gsettings, enables user services |
Existing configs are moved to config/old/ rather than overwritten.
Desktops
Panama configures two desktops that coexist. Both sessions stay available in GDM, so you can switch back and forth while you settle in.
GNOME
The original setup: Forge for tiling, Dash-to-Dock, Openbar, Vitals,
AppIndicator support. Configured through config/dot/forge/ and gsettings.
Hyprland
A from-scratch replacement built to reproduce the GNOME setup closely enough that muscle memory transfers — same keybinds, same panel contents, same dock, same Tokyo Night Moon palette.
| Piece | What it is |
|---|---|
config/dot/hypr/ |
Compositor config. Lua, not hyprlang — see its README |
config/dot/quickshell/ |
The shell: bar, dock, Continuum overview, Settings, Screen Intelligence, focus sessions, quick settings, notifications, screenshot UI |
config/dot/vicinae/ |
Raycast-style launcher, themed |
config/dot/uwsm/ |
Session environment (see the uwsm caveat in the hypr README) |
config/dot/wofi/ |
Fallback launcher, in case the shell fails to start |
config/dot/xdg-desktop-portal/ |
Portal backend routing |
Start here: config/dot/hypr/README.md — it
covers the Lua migration, the uwsm environment gotcha, the HDR decision, the
full keymap, and troubleshooting.
