Requires illogical-impulse (dots-hyprland) already installed and running.
end4-pC is a personal fork of a project called illogical-impulse, which is a set of desktop customization files for the Hyprland window manager on Linux. Hyprland is a tiling window manager, a type of program that controls how windows are arranged on your screen, and this project builds a full visual shell on top of it, including a bar, widgets, wallpaper support, and settings panels. This fork is maintained by a user called pctrade and keeps its own configuration folder separate from the original project, so installing it does not overwrite anything already set up on a computer. It still needs the original illogical-impulse project installed and running first, since this fork adds to it rather than replacing it entirely. Once installed, the shell provides a configurable bar across the screen, desktop widgets, a lyrics display, support for online wallpapers, and Hyprland configuration options, all styled with a Material Design look. Users can set it as their default shell by editing one line in a configuration file, or run it alongside the original setup. A built in launcher doubles as a search tool: opening it and typing a keyword like wallpaper or bar jumps straight to the matching settings page, which is why there is no separate search bar inside the settings panel itself. Pressing the same keybind used to open settings, or the escape key, closes it again, since it behaves as an overlay panel rather than a normal window. The README also explains how to view all configured keyboard shortcuts by opening the launcher and typing a less than symbol, which lists every keybind available. This project is aimed at Linux users running Arch based systems with Hyprland who want a ready made, visually polished desktop environment without designing one from scratch, and who enjoy customizing dotfiles as a hobby. The README credits the original creator of illogical-impulse along with two other contributors who added a weather widget integration and helped showcase the fork.
