…full documentation

Plugin

  • Id: alexander/screen-toolkit
  • New plugin
  • Update to an existing plugin (version bumped in plugin.toml)

What it does

Full Panel redesign

  • Reworked the main panel into two layouts, switchable via a new panel-mode setting (Compact / Full):
  • Compact (380×260): dense grid, tinted section backgrounds, hover-highlighted icon chips.
  • Full (660×340): original spacious layout with section titles and hover effects, larger header title/icon.
  • Added hover effects everywhere (icon border glows primary, no layout shift), fixed the stuck-hover bug, tuned the header (app icon, close/stop buttons).

External dependencies

Testing

  • Tested on Niri
  • Tested on Hyprland
  • Tested on Sway
  • Tested on another compositor:
  • Noctalia version tested against: 5.0.0 beta 6
  • Plugin API level: 9

Checklist

  • The directory name matches the part of id after the / in plugin.toml exactly.
  • It ships plugin.toml, README.md, thumbnail.webp, and translations/en.json.
  • README.md follows the
    README template, documents
    every entry id and dependency, and includes exact panel IPC commands and launcher prefixes where applicable.
  • I created thumbnail.webp with the thumbnail generator.
  • version follows semver and is bumped in this PR; plugin_api is the oldest API level this plugin requires.
  • Every non-English translation in this PR uses a locale supported by Noctalia core, and I can read, write, and
    understand that language well enough to review and maintain it (no unreviewed machine/LLM translations).
  • I did not edit catalog.toml; CI generates it.
  • This PR touches exactly one plugin directory.

Code review attestation

Plugins run as trusted, unsandboxed Luau in the user's session. Confirm:

  • The code is readable and not obfuscated, minified, or generated.
  • It does not download and execute remote code.
  • Every network call, filesystem write, and spawned process is something the description above accounts for.
  • I have the right to publish this code under the license declared in plugin.toml.
