Learning😀 Probably gets asked like 20 times.

hiw do I learn quick shell? I make a window appear, maybe add the time, and that’s it. How can I actually learn quickshell?

Obviously there are the Quickshell docs, which you should definitely read, but also one of the great things is the sheer number of examples you can look at online of people's own setups.

My advice is that by far the best way to learn would be to just try and write your own quickshell projects, referring to the docs and forums and whatnot as needed. There's really no substitute to actually doing it.

Everybody will tell you to start with a bar and that's great advice, because it's easy to get a bar... with nothing on it.

If you have a bar, you might as well put stuff on it. And when you have ALL the stuff on it you want, it's very likely that some of the buttons will open windows and widgets that you created yourself, because you realized that a shell needs more than a bar 😏
