Material

Your family

Material (ii) is the default family: a bar on an edge, two sidebars, a dock and an overview, in nine global styles. Everything here is set in Settings, which opens with Super,.

On your screen

Section titled “On your screen”
  • Bar: along the top by default. SettingsQuickBar position puts it on any edge, and SettingsBar sets its look, its corners and which modules sit in each of its five zones.
  • Dock: SettingsDock turns it on and sets its position, how it reveals itself and the window previews. A hidden bar or dock opens when the pointer rests on its edge for a moment, not on a quick pass, and stays a little after the pointer leaves.
  • Left sidebar: AI chat, YT Music, the Wallhaven browser, the translator and the world clock. On iNiR’s runtime (qs-rs) it can also hold Web Apps (SettingsSidebarsWeb Apps): Discord, YouTube Music and the other web apps from the Hub. They need Qt WebEngine, a one-time download of about 110 MB that inir update brings while the tab is on. If it is missing, the tab says so and has a Download button.
  • Right sidebar: quick toggles, sliders, the notification history and the calendar. Both sidebars are arranged in SettingsSidebars.
  • Overview: SuperSpace shows your workspaces and searches apps and actions.
  • Dashboard, Orbit and the Workspace Strip are optional panels, each with its own page in Settings.

Where things are in Settings

Section titled “Where things are in Settings”

The sidebar groups the pages. The pencil at the top of the list (Arrange at its foot in the classic design), or SettingsArrange, reorders or hides them; hidden pages stay in search.

Easy mode shows only the essential pages and sections: Modules › Interface › Settings UI, or the tune button in the classic header.

Settings comes in two designs with the same pages and options. Expressive (the default) gives each setting its own tile beside a wide list of pages; Classic is the window of v2.33: a header with your picture, the search and the actions, a slim list of pages, and every section in its own card. The history button switches between them, at the top of the page list in Expressive and in the header in Classic; Modules › Interface › Settings UI › Design holds the same choice.

Its looks

Section titled “Its looks”

SettingsThemesGlobal Style changes the whole family at once: Material, Cards, Aurora, Inir, Angel, Regalia, ZZZ, Cookie Shapes or Editorial. Some styles bring their own editor on the same page. Colours follow the wallpaper or a colour theme: Colours and themes.

Common changes

Section titled “Common changes”
  • Move everything around by hand: SettingsShell Layout.
  • Desktop widgets and their grid: SettingsWidgets. While you arrange widgets (from the desktop’s menu), a selected widget shows grips on its right and bottom edges. A month, the upcoming list, notes, to-dos, vitals, uptime, the day’s progress, the date, the ticker, the visualizer, a picture, a shape and the editorial cards take any width and height there and lay themselves out in it, as in v2.33; letting go picks the size (S, M or L) whose layout fits the box. Every other widget grows or shrinks whole. S, M or L in its bar puts the plain size back. iRiS’s own widget faces keep their three sizes.
  • Blur, glass and animations: SettingsEffects. See Optimization.
  • Notifications, AltTab and the floating tools (SuperG): SettingsPanels. In AltTab, Tab and the arrows move the pick and the window switches when you let go of Alt or press Enter; Esc leaves focus where it was. With Alt still held, the auto-hide delay switches to the pick on its own.
  • Kira, the mascot: SettingsMascot.
  • Clipboard history: SuperV opens it (it needs cliphist); SettingsModules turns the panel on or off.
  • Screenshots, text and recording: SuperShiftS opens the region toolbar. Where files go, the snip and the recording sound: SettingsTools.
  • Lock screen: SuperAltL locks; SettingsSystemLock screen sets what it shows.
  • Weather: SettingsServicesWeather (place, units, how often it refreshes).
