* fix(notifications): edit rules from the menu instead of deleting them
A notification rule can set an action and Bypass DND together, but
Unmute and Block in Do Not Disturb spliced the whole rule, dropping the
other setting. They now reset only their own field, and a rule is
removed once it no longer does anything (action and urgency default,
no bypass). Mute and Allow in Do Not Disturb set their field on the
app's existing rule instead of appending one that first-match policy
would shadow.
The menu now only reads and edits enabled, exact rules on the app name
or desktop entry. It used to match any rule whose pattern equaled the
app name, including summary, body, contains and regex rules, and could
delete disabled ones.
Also adds a Copy item to the notification menu on popups and center
cards, copying the summary and body as plain text.
* fix(notifications): let mute apply alongside other rule actions
Rule actions are first-match, so a mute rule behind an app's existing
rule (e.g. No history) never applied while the menu showed Unmute.
Mute is now evaluated like Bypass DND: any matching enabled mute rule
disables the popup, and the other actions stay first-match, so No
history and Mute both apply.
* fix(notifications): skip the sound for dropped and muted notifications
The notification sound played before the check that dismisses a
notification with neither a popup nor a center entry, so dropped
notifications (transient while muted, Popup only plus Mute) still made
a sound. Play it only for notifications that are kept, and not when a
mute rule applies, like Do Not Disturb.
stable-1.6: ported the rule edits and the sound/mute policy only, the Copy menu item depends on NotificationActions which stable does not have

DankMaterialShell
)
DankMaterialShell is a complete desktop shell for niri, Hyprland, MangoWC, Sway, labwc, Scroll, Miracle WM, and other Wayland compositors. It replaces waybar, swaylock, swayidle, mako, fuzzel, polkit, and everything else you'd normally stitch together to make a desktop.

Installation
curl -fsSL https://install.danklinux.com | sh
One command installs DMS and all dependencies on Arch, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE, or Gentoo.
Features
Dynamic Theming Wallpaper-based color schemes that automatically theme GTK, Qt, terminals, editors (vscode, vscodium), and more using matugen and dank16.
System Monitoring Real-time CPU, RAM, GPU metrics and temperatures built into the dms daemon (powered by dgop). Process list with search and management.
Powerful Launcher Spotlight-style search for applications, files (dsearch), emojis, running windows, calculator, and commands. Extensible with plugins.
Control Center Unified interface for network, Bluetooth, audio devices, display settings, and night mode.
Smart Notifications Notification center with grouping, rich text support, and keyboard navigation.
Media Integration MPRIS player controls, calendar sync, weather widgets, and clipboard history with image previews.
Session Management Lock screen, idle detection, auto-lock/suspend with separate AC/battery settings, and a settings front-end for dank-greeter.
Plugin System
Extend functionality with the plugin registry. DMS keeps
~/.config/DankMaterialShell/plugins.lock.json synchronized with managed plugin installs and
their exact Git commits, so the same plugins can be reproduced on another machine.
Supported Compositors
Works best with niri, Hyprland, Sway, MangoWC, labwc, Scroll, and Miracle WM with full workspace switching, overview integration, and monitor management. Other Wayland compositors work with reduced features.

Dank Projects
DMS is one piece of the suite. The rest lives in its own repos:
- dank-greeter - greetd login screen with the Dank Material aesthetic. The Greeter tab in DMS settings is the front-end for it.
- dankcalendar - Local, Google, Microsoft, and CalDAV calendars for the dank desktop.
- dgop - System monitoring TUI and Go library; its library powers the process list and dashboard widgets inside the dms daemon.
- dsearch - Fast file search that powers file results in the launcher.
- dank-qml-common - Shared QML widgets and components used by DMS, dank-greeter, and dankcalendar.
- dankgo - Common Go modules behind the single binary apps.
Development
See component-specific documentation:
- quickshell/ - QML shell development, widgets, and modules
- core/ - Go backend, CLI tools, and system integration
- distro/ - Distribution packaging (Fedora, Debian, NixOS)
Building from Source

NixOS:
{
inputs.dms.url = "github:AvengeMedia/DankMaterialShell";
# Use in home-manager or NixOS configuration
imports = [ inputs.dms.homeModules.dank-material-shell ];
}
