# qs.Ui — Omarchy shell UI kit Reusable QML components for omarchy-shell's built-in panels and any third-party plugin that wants a consistent look and behaviour. Every type is exposed under the `qs.Ui` module via the `qmldir` next to this file, so consumers write: ```qml import qs.Ui Item { PanelSeparator { foreground: someColor } PillButton { text: "Click me"; onClicked: ... } } ``` Theme tokens (corner radius, accent, focus styling) live on the `qs.Commons.Style` singleton; every Ui component already binds to them, so toggling `omarchy style corners ` updates every consumer in one shot. ## Visual reference Run the dev gallery to see every component live: ```bash omarchy-shell-ipc shell summon omarchy.dev-gallery '{}' ``` The gallery renders the real components (not copies), so it doubles as a smoke test — if a component starts misbehaving the gallery is the fastest place to see it. ## Components Grouped by what they're for, not alphabetically. ### Panel surfaces | Type | Purpose | |---|---| | `KeyboardPanel` | Layer-shell popup with `WlrKeyboardFocus.Exclusive`. Use for panels summoned from a bar widget that need keyboard focus on map (j/k navigation, inline editors). | | `PopupCard` | xdg-popup based panel. Use for click/hover overlays that don't need to steal keyboard focus (calendar, weather flyout). | ### Cursor model | Type | Purpose | |---|---| | `CursorSurface` | Rectangle that paints fill + 1px border when `hasCursor` is true, and fill alone when `current` is true. The foundation for "single highlight on screen across keyboard and mouse" rows. Never read `containsMouse` for visuals — bind `hasCursor` from the panel's cursor state instead. | | `PanelKeyCatcher` | Item that emits semantic signals: `moveRequested(dx, dy)`, `activateRequested()`, `closeRequested()`, `deleteRequested()`, `textKey(string)`. Drop inside a panel root, wire signals to the panel's state mutators. `blocked: true` freezes everything except — nothing; it's a hard gate for inline editors. | ### Interactive primitives | Type | Purpose | |---|---| | `PillButton` | Rounded button with optional icon + label + tooltip. Has `active`, `hasCursor` (keyboard cursor), and `enabled`. Hover and keyboard cursor render identically (fill + border) via the shared `hot` state. | | `CursorPill` | `PillButton` that participates in a panel's single-cursor model. Adds a `hovered(bool)` signal so the panel can update its cursor state on mouse enter/leave. Use for DNS-pill / header-pill / segmented-choice patterns. | | `ChoiceButton` | A single button in a mutually-exclusive choice group (segmented control). `selected` uses accent fill+border; focus uses `Style.focusBorderColor` so keyboard nav reads differently from selection. | | `Toggle` | Title + description + switch. Click anywhere on the row to flip; caller updates `checked` in response. | | `TextField` | Single-line input. Inherits from Qt Quick Controls `TextField` so all of its base API (text, placeholderText, accepted, validator, ...) is available. Adds `password: bool`, `foreground` / `accent` / `selectionTint` color overrides, and `horizontalPadding` / `verticalPadding` size knobs. Focus styling uses `Style.focusBorderColor` to match `Toggle` and `ChoiceButton`. | | `PanelActionButton` | 22×22 right-edge action button (confirm, forget, unpair). `hoverColor` swaps between default foreground tint and urgent (red) tint. | | `PanelSlider` | Volume/progress slider. Drag, click track, or wheel. `moved(value)` fires per change, `released(value)` once at end. (Named to avoid colliding with `QtQuick.Controls.Slider`.) | | `WidgetButton` | Bar widget chrome — for the strip itself, not for inside panels. | ### Structure | Type | Purpose | |---|---| | `PanelSeparator` | 1px alpha rule between sections. `strength` tweaks opacity. | | `PanelSectionHeader` | Small-bold label that introduces a section ("DNS provider", "Wi-Fi networks"). | | `PanelToolTip` | Styled wrapper around Qt's `ToolTip`. Drop inside the hovered item and bind `visible` to the hover state. Use property names `panelForeground`/`panelBackground` (not `foreground`/`background`) to avoid clashing with `ToolTip`'s built-ins. | ## Theme integration `qs.Commons.Style` exposes: - `cornerRadius` — mirrors `~/.local/state/omarchy/toggles/quickshell-menu.json`, hot-reloaded - `focusBorderColor`, `focusFillColor`, `focusBorderWidth` — derived from `Color.accent` - `hotFill` — the standard hover/cursor tint (foreground at 0.12 alpha) `qs.Commons.Color` exposes the foundational palette plus per-surface roles loaded from the theme's `colors.toml` + `shell.toml`. Components in this kit default-bind to `Color.foreground` / `Color.accent` / `Color.background` so a caller with no explicit theme just works. ## Conventions - Components are stateless about the values they display. They emit signals and let the caller mutate. Don't bake panel-specific state machines into kit components. - Mouse hover and keyboard cursor should converge on a single visual state. Bind `hasCursor` from the panel root; have hover handlers update the same root state via `onHovered`. - Property names follow the underlying QML type's convention. Where a clash is unavoidable (`Toggle`/`ToolTip` already define `background` in QQC), the kit uses a `panel*` prefix. ## Adding a new component 1. Write the QML file in this directory. 2. Add a line to `qmldir`: `TypeName 1.0 TypeName.qml`. 3. Add a live demo section to `plugins/dev-gallery/GalleryPanel.qml` using the real component — copy/paste reimplementations defeat the smoke-test value of the gallery. 4. Update the table above.
