For Arch Linux + Hyprland
A desktop shell
that feels alive.
A customizable Hyprland shell built with Quickshell — combining liquid surfaces, contextual interfaces and precise motion into one desktop experience.
The shell
Not another panel.
A complete shell.
Void Shell is an integrated desktop environment layer, not only a status bar.

Liquid glass
Built around depth.
Surfaces respond to the environment instead of hiding it.

Control Center
Everything important.
Nothing in the way.
Wi-Fi, audio, brightness, Do Not Disturb, Bluetooth when available, and media controls in one liquid surface.
Notifications
Notifications that behave like objects, not popups.
Natural stacking, expandable content, contextual actions and smooth dismissal.
Expanded content lives inside the same surface.
Customization
One shell.
Your personality.
LIQUID personality
Preview surface
Website simulation only — these controls do not configure an installed shell.
Motion
Motion with purpose.
Spring-based, interruptible transitions and contextual reveals — with reduced-motion support and no unnecessary perpetual animation.
