application.\n\nExperience Packs let you snapshot a complete desktop configuration --- theme,\nicons, cursor, extensions, and settings --- into a shareable TOML manifest,\nturning 30-minute tutorials into 1-click installs.\n\n## Features\n\n- **Explore** --- Search and browse GNOME Shell extensions, GTK themes, Shell\n  themes, icon packs, and cursor themes from extensions.gnome.org and\n  gnome-look.org. The landing page surfaces popular and recently updated items\n  across sources.\n\n- **Detail View** --- Tap any listing to see a full-screen detail page with\n  screenshot, description, and install/apply actions.\n\n- **Installed** --- View all extensions on the system with enable/disable\n  switches. Tap a row for the detail view.\n\n- **Customize** --- Install themes, icons, and cursors, then apply them\n  instantly via GSettings.\n\n- **Experience Packs** --- Snapshot your current desktop (GTK theme, Shell\n  theme, icon pack, cursor, wallpaper, enabled extensions) into a portable\n  `.gnomex-pack.tar.gz` archive. Import packs others have shared to reproduce\n  their setup in one click. Screenshots can be bundled with exports.\n\n- **Settings** --- Disable version validation to allow installing extensions\n  not marked compatible with the running Shell version.\n\n- **Native Look \u0026 Feel** --- Follows the [GNOME Human Interface Guidelines][hig].\n  Libadwaita adaptive layout, `AdwViewSwitcher` navigation, `AdwToastOverlay`\n  notifications, and full dark/light/accent colour scheme support.\n\n[hig]: https://developer.gnome.org/hig/\n\n## Screenshots\n\n![GNOME X](docs/assets/screenshots/first-run-launch.png)\n![GNOME X](docs/assets/screenshots/tut-extensions-01-explore.png)\n![GNOME X](docs/assets/screenshots/hero-explore.png)\n![GNOME X](docs/assets/screenshots/tut-widget-colors-02-light-dark.png)\n\n## Architecture\n\nGNOME X uses a layered hexagonal architecture (\"Tree Architecture\") with strict\ndependency boundaries enforced at the crate level:\n\n```\ncrates/\n  domain/   L0  Pure domain types, value objects, entities (zero deps)\n  app/      L1  Use cases and port (trait) definitions\n  infra/    L3  HTTP clients, D-Bus proxy, GSettings, filesystem\n  ui/       L2  GTK4 / Libadwaita / Relm4 application\n```\n\n| Port (trait)          | Adapter (impl)           | Purpose                            |\n|-----------------------|--------------------------|------------------------------------|\n| `ExtensionRepository` | `EgoClient`              | extensions.gnome.org HTTP API      |\n| `ContentRepository`   | `OcsClient`              | gnome-look.org OCS API             |\n| `ShellProxy`          | `DbusShellProxy`         | GNOME Shell D-Bus interface        |\n| `LocalInstaller`      | `FilesystemInstaller`    | Install/uninstall to XDG dirs      |\n| `AppearanceSettings`  | `GSettingsAppearance`    | Read/write desktop theme settings  |\n| `PackStorage`         | `PackTomlStorage`        | Persist Experience Packs as TOML   |\n\n## Requirements\n\n### Runtime\n\n- GNOME Shell 45 or later (for D-Bus extension management)\n- GTK 4.14+\n- Libadwaita 1.5+\n\n### Build\n\n- Rust 2024 edition (stable toolchain)\n- GTK 4 development headers\n- Libadwaita development headers\n- `pkg-config`\n\n#### Fedora / RHEL\n\n```sh\nsudo dnf install gtk4-devel libadwaita-devel gcc pkg-config\n```\n\n#### Ubuntu / Debian\n\n```sh\nsudo apt install libgtk-4-dev libadwaita-1-dev build-essential pkg-config\n```\n\n#### Arch Linux\n\n```sh\nsudo pacman -S gtk4 libadwaita rust pkgconf\n```\n\n## Building\n\n```sh\ngit clone https://github.com/gnomex/gnome-x.git\ncd gnome-x\ncargo build --release -p gnomex-ui\n```\n\nThe binary is produced at `target/release/gnomex-ui`.\n\n### Running (development)\n\n```sh\ncargo run -p gnomex-ui\n```\n\nThe application registers a custom icon theme search path at startup so the app\nicon loads without installation.\n\n## Installing\n\n### System install\n\n```sh\ncargo build --release -p gnomex-ui\nsudo ./install.sh\n```\n\nThis installs the binary to `/usr/local/bin/gnome-x`, the desktop file, AppStream\nmetadata, GSettings schema, and hicolor icons. Override the prefix with\n`PREFIX=/usr sudo ./install.sh`.\n\n### Cargo install\n\n```sh\ncargo install --path crates/ui\n```\n\nNote: this installs the binary only. Desktop integration files (icon, `.desktop`,\nschema) must be placed manually or via `install.sh`.\n\n### Flatpak\n\n**Not supported.** GNOME X needs host-level access to write GTK overrides,\nshell themes, and install a systemd user service, which the Flatpak sandbox\ndoes not permit without sweeping permissions that defeat the sandbox. Use the\n`.deb`/`.rpm` packages or `install.sh` instead. See\n[Known limitations](docs/known-limitations.md#flatpak-is-not-a-supported-distribution-target)\nfor the full rationale.\n\n## Experience Packs\n\nAn Experience Pack is a TOML manifest that captures a complete desktop\nconfiguration:\n\n```toml\n[pack]\nid = \"nordic-elegance\"\nname = \"Nordic Elegance\"\ndescription = \"Cool-toned minimal desktop\"\nauthor = \"Ada\"\nshell_version = \"47.0\"\npack_format = 1\n\n[theme.gtk]\nname = \"Nordic\"\nsource = \"gnome-look.org\"\ncontent_id = 1267246\nfile_id = 1\n\n[icons]\nname = \"Papirus-Dark\"\nsource = \"gnome-look.org\"\ncontent_id = 1166289\nfile_id = 1\n\n[[extensions]]\nuuid = \"blur-my-shell@aunetx\"\nname = \"Blur my Shell\"\nrequired = true\n```\n\n### Export\n\nClick the save icon on any pack row to export a `.gnomex-pack.tar.gz` archive\ncontaining the manifest and an optional screenshot.\n\n### Import\n\nClick **Import** in the Packs toolbar to load a `.gnomex-pack.tar.gz` and add\nit to your collection.\n\n### Apply\n\nClick **Apply** on any pack to download missing content, install it, set your\nthemes/icons/cursor via GSettings, and enable listed extensions --- all in one\nstep.\n\n## Project Structure\n\n```\ngnome-x/\n  Cargo.toml                        Workspace root\n  crates/\n    domain/                          Domain types and business rules\n    app/                             Use cases and port traits\n    infra/                           Infrastructure adapters\n    ui/                              GTK4/Relm4 application binary\n  data/\n    io.github.gnomex.GnomeX.desktop.in\n    io.github.gnomex.GnomeX.gschema.xml\n    io.github.gnomex.GnomeX.metainfo.xml.in\n    icons/                           Hicolor icon theme\n    resources/                       GResource bundle (CSS)\n  install.sh                         System install script\n```\n\n## Known limitations\n\nSome rendering concerns live below GNOME X's theming and GSettings\nsurface (HiDPI/fractional-scaling blurriness, browser theming\nfidelity, GDM login-screen theming). The\n[Known limitations](docs/known-limitations.md) document explains the\ncauses, mitigations, and which tracker items track further work.\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions are welcome.
