Installation

Dependencies:

Note

This project was only tested on Arch^btw, but it should work on any distro that has all the dependencies.

• fabric _obviously
• fabric-cli
• Hyprland _{*Hyprland dependent widgets(only the workspace widget for now) could be systematically removed, allowing the use of any other wayland compositor.}
• sass
• wf-recorder
• slurp
• tabler-icons _{build for webfont to get ttf, or just use the AUR version on Arch}
• brightnessctl
• pamixer
• upower
• vnstat

yay -S fabric-cli-git sass wf-recorder slurp ttf-tabler-icons brightnessctl pamixer upower vnstat on arch should install all the dependencies(replace yay with your preffered AUR helper)

Python dependencies:

• toml
• pillow
• platformdirs
• psutil

Note

Using a python venv is recommended on Arch. this project uses uv as a package manager.

Installation:

git clone https://github.com/Sem1Rose/fabric-shell.git
cd fabric-shell
uv run main.py

Configuration

Refer to the configuration guide here.

Caution

Avoid editing anything in default_config.toml, only edit config.toml.

Performance

• ram usage is somwhere around 200MB.
• cpu usage is usually below 1%, spikes to ~8% with heavy animations, a lot more while caching wallpapers.
