nwg-shell

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), nwg-menu (XDG-style menu) or nwg-bar (customizable button bar).

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.
