nwg-shell is a GTK3-based shell for sway and
Hyprland Wayland compositors. The project provides a common configuration tool
(nwg-shell-config) that allows you to configure the system in a graphical UI, and a range of components such as
nwg-panel (system panel), nwg-drawer (application launcher), nwg-dock (system dock) or nwg-menu
(XDG-style menu). It also includes several native tools as
nwg-look (look and feel GTK settings editor), nwg-displays (display configuration tool), Azote (wallpaper
manager), nwg-clipman (clipboard history manager), nwg-icon-picker (icon browser with textual search),
nwg-readme-browser (documentation viewer) and nwg-hello (login manager). Scripts and utilities such as
autotiling (script for sway to automatically switch the horizontal / vertical window split orientation) and
gospuinfo (a command to display system usage info) are used in the background. The shell also utilizes third party
software as swaync (notification center), gtklock / swaylock (screen lockers) and more. The nwg-shell
package itself acts as a metapackage and installer of default configuration files.
