Two things, both closing gaps in work that was already reported done. GNOME's Multitasking panel, in Hyprland's terms: tiling layout, split behaviour, floating-window snapping, workspace wrap-around and back-and-forth, whether applications may take focus, and whether the pointer changes the active display. Hyprland creates and destroys workspaces as you use them, so there is no fixed count to expose, and the page says so rather than leaving a conspicuous absence. The Desktop page described the first two of these as read-only facts -- "Layout: Tiling", "Workspace movement: Dynamic" -- which was never true. Both are ordinary Hyprland options that happened to have no controls, and TextRow's own documentation says a setting the user could reasonably change does not belong in it. Schema defaults are Panama's shipped values from looks.lua rather than Hyprland's own, so restoring defaults returns the desktop to how it ships. 43 mapped options now, from 35. The launcher had no light theme. vicinae.json already selected a theme per system appearance, but both entries pointed at Moon, so choosing light mode left the most frequently opened window on the desktop dark -- a hole in the light/dark work, not a missing feature. Day is authored from the same palette as the kitty Day theme so the two cannot drift, and link-dotfiles now installs every authored theme rather than only the dark one, which is why the gap survived being noticed. Its placeholder colour is not Tokyo Night Day's own: that measures 2.54:1 against the background, below the 3:1 floor for secondary text. This is 3.25:1, the same value used for neovim's light comments. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BRvzt4H8XXLPVH5MyYdk9L
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.

config/dot/hypr/ |
Compositor config. Lua, not hyprlang — see its README |
config/dot/quickshell/ |
The shell: bar, dock, Continuum overview, Panama 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 |

covers the Lua migration, the uwsm environment gotcha, the HDR decision, the
full keymap, and troubleshooting.
