## Quick Start
```bash
git clone https://github.com/S4NKALP/Modus ~/.config/Modus
cd ~/.config/Modus
./install.sh
```
> [!TIP]
>
> ## Post Installation
>
> - Install recommended [Icon theme](https://github.com/vinceliuice/MacTahoe-icon-theme) , [GTK theme](https://github.com/vinceliuice/MacTahoe-gtk-theme) and [Cursor Theme](https://github.com/vinceliuice/MacTahoe-icon-theme/tree/main/cursors) <br>
> - Check `config/hypr/modus.conf` edit it according to your device and copy it to your hyprland config
> - For Lock Screen Bind keys to `uv run lock`
## Spotlight Plugins
The spotlight search (Super+D) is powered by plugins. Drop a `.py` file in
`config/plugins/` and it works instantly.
```bash
cp -r examples/plugins/hello.py config/plugins/hello.py
# Hit Super+D, type "hi" — greeting appears
```
Plugin development:
```bash
vim config/plugins/hello.py
fabric-cli exec modus1 'deep_reload hello' # no restart needed
```
See [Spotlight Plugins](docs/plugins.md) for full docs and examples.
## Configuration
Config files in `config/`, using TOML format:
| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `config.toml` | Main settings (switcher, wallpaper, notifications) |
| `mods.toml` | Custom panel buttons |
| `dock.toml` | Pinned dock apps |
See [Configuration Guide](docs/configuration.md) for full reference.
## Custom Mods
Define panel buttons in `config/mods.toml`:
```toml
[Mods.terminal]
icon = "terminal.svg"
icon-size = 16
order = 1
on-clicked = "kitty"
```
- `icon` — SVG filename in `src/assets/icons/`
- `icon-size` — defaults to 16
- `order` — button position (lower = first)
- `on-clicked` — shell command on click
- `on-left`, `on-middle`, `on-right` — per-mouse-button commands
- `options` — dropdown menu entries (each with `label` + `on-clicked`)
- Full shell syntax (`&&`, `|`) via `sh -c`
- Live reload — edit and changes apply instantly
