Ignis

A widget framework for building desktop shells, written and configurable in Python.

• Configurable in Python
• Easy to use
• GTK4-based
• Batteries Included (a lot of built-in Services and Utilities!)
• Flexible work with widgets

Note

Ignis is mostly stable, but still a work in progress. The API is a subject to change.

The breaking changes tracker is available in #60

Getting started

See the Documentation

Supported Desktops

• wlroots-based Wayland compositors (e.g., Sway)

• Smithay based compositors (e.g., COSMIC)
• KDE Plasma on wayland

...and all other compositors that implement the Layer Shell protocol.

Ignis is not supported on:

• GNOME Wayland
