Platform Notes

macOS

Shijima-Qt needs the Accessibility permission to access the frontmost window.

Linux

Shijima-Qt supports KDE Plasma 6 and GNOME 46 in both Wayland and X11. To get the frontmost window, Shijima-Qt automatically installs and enables a shell plugin when started.

• On KDE, this is transparent to the user.
• On GNOME, the shell needs to be restarted on the first run. This can be done by logging out and logging back in. Shijima-Qt will exit with an appropriate error message if this is required.
• On other desktop environments, window tracking will not be available.

Windows

Only tested on Windows 11. May also work on Windows 10. Window tracking is supported and no extra actions should be necessary to run Shijima-Qt.
