GTK3 defaults already had gtk-cursor-theme-name + size; GTK4 did not. Moongreet (GTK4) under greetd therefore fell back to the default cursor even with XCURSOR_THEME set on cage. Add the two lines so GTK4 apps pick up Sweet-cursors from system defaults before any window is created.
Moongreet v0.9.0 reads cursor-theme/cursor-size from its TOML config
because GTK4 under greetd does not honour XCURSOR_THEME. Ship the
Sweet-cursors setting here so the greeter renders the intended cursor
on a fresh install without needing the env-prefix hack in greetd.
Pacman/paru can drain or close stdin, so after the first interactive step
the EXIT trap's pause was silently skipped (the `-t 0` check failed) and
every subsequent confirm() prompt hit EOF — which with `[[ -z $response ]]`
auto-accepted, letting install/remove actions run unattended.
- _pause_on_exit: drop the `-t 0` guard and read from /dev/tty
- confirm(): read from /dev/tty so EOF on stdin can't masquerade as "yes"
- Move the trap installation above the gettext i18n init so an early
failure (e.g. missing gettext) still triggers the pause message.
The `[moonarch-pkgbuilds]` paru-repo check was a false failure: that
mechanism was retired on 2026-04-20 and the install hook strips the
legacy paru.conf section on upgrade.
Audit of the rest of the doctor surfaced two related gaps — the
user-services loop skipped `walker.service` and `nautilus.service`,
even though moonarch-git ships both and enables them via
graphical-session.target.wants. Added them to the loop and filled in
the missing `wlsunset` in the CLAUDE.md listing.
Stasis ignores /etc/xdg/ and only reads ~/.config/stasis/stasis.rune
(primary) or /etc/stasis/stasis.rune (fallback). On first start with no
user config it writes its own hardcoded default, so Moonarch's tuned
idle plans were never active on fresh installs.
Seed the template from /etc/xdg/stasis/stasis.rune into the user home
before stasis ever starts, only if the user file is missing. See
DECISIONS.md for verification against upstream v1.1.0.
The previous end-of-script `read` never ran when `set -e` aborted mid-way
(pacman conflict, paru failure, Ctrl+C), so foot closed on errors —
exactly when the user most needs to see the output.
Move the pause into a trap on EXIT, gated by `MOONUP_WAIT=1` so CLI use
stays non-interactive. Waybar on-click now sets the env var.
The rule was never installed by any PKGBUILD from this repo anyway.
Moved to moongreet/config/polkit/ in v0.8.3 where it belongs — moonarch
should not own greeter-specific auth rules.
Long-standing gaps in post-install.sh plus cleanup:
- post-install.sh:18 was `sudo pacman -S paru` on the wrong
assumption paru had landed in [extra]. Verified: paru/paru-bin
are AUR-only. Restored the original git-clone + makepkg
bootstrap, added the rust buildep that archinstall does not
pull in.
- post-install.sh never installed AUR extras — walker, elephant,
waypaper, stasis, themes all silently skipped. Now pulls
packages/aur.txt after moonarch-git.
- packages/official.txt: drop glab, go, npm (unused) and rustup
(only needed for the paru build, handled imperatively now).
- packages/aur.txt: add walker-bin (was missing entirely).
- transform.sh + legacy update.sh shim removed — transform was
never used in practice.
- Apollo persona block out of CLAUDE.md, prior DECISIONS entries
rewritten from Apollo/Ragnar to ClaudeCode.
- README Transform section and scripts/ listing trimmed.
- lib.sh ABOUTME updated — only post-install.sh sources it now.
post-install.sh and transform.sh no longer write paru.conf entries for
the PKGBUILD repo — the Arch registry is the single source of truth.
pacman -Sy + paru -S moonarch-git now suffices. See DECISIONS.md.
Prompts and log lines now follow the user's LANG. Reuses pacman's
gettext catalog for strings with matching upstream msgids
(Proceed with installation?, [Y/n], Starting full system upgrade...,
Do you want to remove these packages?). Moonarch-specific strings
go through an inline _t "en" "de" helper keyed off ${LANG%%.*}.
confirm() switches to pacman-style: :: prefix, default Y, accepts
y/Y/j/J. No PKGBUILD change — gettext ships with base.
Waybar starts before wlsunset (due to ExecStartPre sleep) and only
checks the service status once. ExecStartPost sends SIGRTMIN+11 so
waybar refreshes the nightlight module after wlsunset is ready.
The greetd greeter session is inactive in logind, so polkit defaults
require admin authentication for power actions. This rule grants the
greeter user permission for reboot and power-off without authentication.
notification-window-height was set to 150px, causing long notifications
to be clipped with a scrollbar. Set to -1 (compositor-managed) so popups
adapt to content height.
Move nightlight from niri spawn-at-startup to a systemd user service
with After=kanshi.service to ensure all outputs are configured before
wlsunset starts. Toggle now uses enable/disable --now for persistent
state across reboots.
transform.sh was hard-copying /etc/xdg/niri/config.kdl to ~/.config/niri/,
causing the user config to go stale after system updates. Now seeds a minimal
user config with `include "/etc/xdg/niri/config.kdl"` so system defaults
always stay current and users can add overrides below the include.
Smaller font (14px → 12px), smaller icon (64px → 36px via CSS variable),
and notification-window-height limit (150px) to prevent oversized popups
from long notification bodies.
Docker is a dev dependency, not a desktop environment default. Remove
from package list, archinstall config, services and README.
Fix systemd ordering cycle that prevented cliphist-image from starting:
cliphist-text had After=graphical-session.target which combined with
PartOf= and cliphist-image's After=cliphist-text created a cycle.
Diagnostic script that verifies services, configs, packages and paths
against the expected moonarch system state. Reports pass/fail/warn with
colored output and summary. Deployed as moonarch-doctor (alias: moondoc).
Waybar's include directive cannot merge arrays, making per-machine
module customization impossible without duplicating the entire config.
moonarch-waybar merges an optional ~/.config/waybar/userconfig with
the system config, supporting prepend/append on module arrays and
object merge for module definitions. Generates user style.css with
@import of system styles on first run.
System waybar config converted from JSONC to valid JSON for jq
compatibility. Niri startup and hotkey updated to use the wrapper.
Add blue light filter support via wlsunset, toggleable through a Waybar
module in the brightness group. Nightlight icon is the primary element,
backlight slider expands on click.
- Add wlsunset package to official.txt
- Add moonarch-nightlight toggle script (kill/restart wlsunset)
- Add moonarch-waybar-nightlight status script (JSON output)
- Add custom/nightlight module to group/brightness in Waybar config
- Add Catppuccin Yellow highlight for active nightlight state
- Add wlsunset autostart in Niri config (5000K night temperature)
Wraps paru in a script that waits for keypress after completion,
preventing foot from closing immediately. Used as Waybar on-click
action for the updates module.
Add moonarch-waybar-updates script that checks for available updates
from both official repos (checkupdates) and AUR (paru -Qua). Uses a
cache mechanism to avoid excessive mirror hits while still detecting
freshly installed updates within 60 seconds.
Add a visible bottom border to the active taskbar button for clear
focus indication. Reserve border space on all buttons with a transparent
border to prevent icon shifting on state changes.
group/battery shared its CSS ID (#battery) with the battery module,
causing padding overrides to affect the group box instead of just the
module. Renamed to group/bat. Moved cpugov into indicators group.
Reorganized style.css sections for clarity.
Laptops with charge_control_end_threshold support get a click-to-toggle
on the battery module (80% ↔ 100%). A ♥ icon appears when conservation
is active, hidden when inactive. State persists across reboots via
systemd oneshot service. udev rule grants wheel group write access
so no sudo is needed for toggling.
- Remove defaults/user/ and the user-defaults copy loop from
post-install.sh and transform.sh — Waybar falls back to
/etc/xdg/waybar/ via XDG spec, no provisioning needed.
- Remove USER_DEFAULTS constant from lib.sh.
- Clean up style.css: remove dead selectors (#net, #cava,
#custom-updates, #custom-notification), commented-out blocks,
empty rules, duplicate properties, and hardcoded hex color.
- Restructure module styling: generic top-level box via
> widget > *, group children reset via widget widget > *,
explicit exceptions for workspaces/taskbar/window.
- Normalize section comments and whitespace.
- Update README to remove user/waybar/ from project structure.
Rename gtk-inherit theme to moonarch with fixed Colloid-Grey-Dark-
Catppuccin color definitions. Reduces border brightness and shadow
weight for a subtler appearance.
Closes#3
Remove ABOUTME comments from kanshi default config — they broke
the profile parser in wdisplays-persistent store.c, preventing
config saves. Also skip kanshi in transform.sh when user profiles
already exist, since display layouts are machine-specific.
archinstall v4.1 introduced new canonical key names. Update
user_configuration.json to the current schema:
- audio_config → nested under app_config
- bootloader → bootloader_config with explicit uki flag
- gfx_driver value updated to "All open-source (default)"
- custom-commands → custom_commands (underscore)
- Add cliphist.service that wipes clipboard history on session start
(crash-safe: cleans up at next boot, not at shutdown)
- Move kanshi, walker, nautilus services from ~/.config/systemd/user/
to /etc/systemd/user/ (system-level defaults, consistent with
moonarch's config philosophy)
- Remove cliphist spawn-sh-at-startup from niri config (managed by
systemd service now)
- Add cliphist to USER_SERVICES in post-install.sh and transform.sh
Closes#1
The paru PKGBUILD repo config was only set up by post-install.sh and
transform.sh. If the config was missing on an existing system,
moonarch-git couldn't update — the fix required the package that
delivers the fix.
Now moonarch.install sets up the config on every install/upgrade.
post-install.sh keeps it for first-time bootstrap (before moonarch-git
exists). transform.sh no longer manages it.
xdg-open ~ (Super+E) cold-starts Nautilus every time, causing
noticeable delay. A GApplication service keeps Nautilus warm in the
background so subsequent opens are near-instant. Follows the same
pattern as the existing walker.service.
Closes#2
The registry signing key was imported without verifying its fingerprint,
allowing a MITM or compromised server to inject a rogue key. Now checks
the downloaded key against a pinned fingerprint before import. Also adds
trap EXIT for tempfile cleanup and rejects empty curl responses.
