A DESKTOP SHELL THAT FEELS LIKE BONE
====================================
2026-10-01 // 1 min read // #shell #linux #build-notes

Thin lines, a sphere that flips into a launcher, and a palette of bone,
black and one red. Sketch notes on the KappaYashi shell.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The desktop should be quiet. Just a wallpaper, and a small sphere hanging at
two-thirds height that flips over when you ask it something.

THE CONSTRAINTS
---------------

 * Very minimal. Thin lines. Small text.
 * One accent: #c83637, everything else bone and black.
 * Mouse-friendly tiling: tiling when you want order, a right-click menu
   when you do not.

    // the island is a sphere until you touch it
    Rectangle {
        id: island
        radius: width / 2
        border.color: "#c83637"
        border.width: 1
    }

| A launcher is a conversation. It should start quietly.

WHAT IS NEXT
------------

Workspaces and media bloom beside the sphere only when they matter.
Everything else stays hidden until called.
