# Configuration Guide
|
|
|
|
Modus is highly configurable using TOML files located in the `config/` directory.
|
|
|
|
## File Overview
|
|
|
|
| File | Purpose |
|
|
|------|---------|
|
|
| `config.toml` | Main application configuration (modules, features, toggles). |
|
|
| `mods.toml` | Custom panel button definitions (menus, shell commands). |
|
|
| `launcher.toml` | Settings specific to the application launcher/spotlight. |
|
|
| `dock.toml` | Pinned applications for the dock. |
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## `config.toml` (Main Settings)
|
|
|
|
The `config.toml` file controls which widgets and services are enabled. Most changes here require restarting Modus (`uv run start`).
|
|
|
|
**Key Settings:**
|
|
- `wallpapers_dir`: Path to the directory where your wallpapers are stored.
|
|
- `dock_enabled`: Toggle the dock widget (`true`/`false`).
|
|
- `dock_auto_hide`: Whether the dock hides automatically when windows overlap it.
|
|
- `notification_timeout`: Duration before a notification automatically dismisses (e.g., `"5s"`).
|
|
- `notification_ignored_apps`: Array of app names whose notifications should be suppressed.
|
|
- `weather_location`: Set your city for the weather widget (e.g., `"Patan, Nepal"`).
|
|
|
|
**App Switcher & Screencapture:**
|
|
- `window_switcher`: Enables the custom Alt-Tab window switcher.
|
|
- `switcher_live_preview`: Enables real-time Wayland video previews of running applications.
|
|
- `switcher_live_preview_delay_ms`: Framerate delay for previews (e.g., `200` = ~5fps). Lower is smoother but uses more CPU.
|
|
- `osd`: Enables on-screen displays for volume and brightness changes.
|
|

## `mods.toml` (Custom Panel Buttons)
|
|
|
|
You can define custom buttons for the top panel that run shell commands or show dropdown menus. **Changes to this file reload instantly!**
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[Mods.terminal]
|
|
icon = "terminal.svg"
|
|
icon-size = 16
|
|
order = 1
|
|
on-clicked = "kitty"
|
|
|
|
[Mods.color-picker]
|
|
icon = "misc/color-picker.svg"
|
|
icon-size = 22
|
|
order = 0
|
|
on-left = "hyprpicker -a -n -f hex | wl-copy"
|
|
on-right = "hyprpicker -n -f hsv | wl-copy"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Properties:**
|
|
- `icon`: The name of an SVG icon placed in `src/assets/icons/`.
|
|
- `icon-size`: Defaults to 16.
|
|
- `order`: Determines left-to-right position (lower numbers appear first).
|
|
- `on-clicked`, `on-left`, `on-right`, `on-middle`: Shell commands executed via `sh -c`. Supports complex piping `|` and `&&`.
|

## `dock.toml` (Pinned Apps)
|
|
|
|
Controls which applications are permanently pinned to the dock.
|
|
```toml
|
|
pinned = [
|
|
"firefox",
|
|
"kitty",
|
|
"org.gnome.Nautilus"
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
Ensure you use the exact `.desktop` file name or application ID.
