funkpower 70e671c6f6 show the thing: screenshots, and a harness that makes them
Nobody installs a desktop widget they have not seen. Three shots go in the
README -- the Nativity Fast, where the week runs through three fasting
levels; ROCOR on 7 January, where the corner reads 25 December and makes the
old-calendar point in one glance; and Great Week, which uses nearly every
level there is.

shot.qml renders the real widget on a plain backdrop at a fixed position on
the overlay layer, so a screen grab of that rectangle is the widget and never
whatever was behind it. Typikon gains a forDate property, which is what lets
a screenshot show Great Week in September, and is worth having anyway for
looking ahead.

The header note now always carries the church date instead of repeating the
season the line below it already gives.

# horologion
Desktop front ends for [`typikon`](https://git.pumpin.online/funkpower/typikon)
— the Orthodox liturgical day on your desktop, in Hyprland (Quickshell),
waybar or eww.
Everything is computed locally by `typikon`, so none of this touches the
network, and the widget re-reads only when the date rolls over — the answer
changes at midnight and at no other moment.

## Install
`typikon` first, since all three front ends shell out to it:
```console
$ pip install typikon
$ typikon --set-default rocor # or antiochian, oca, greece, ...
```
Then:
```console
$ git clone https://git.pumpin.online/funkpower/horologion
$ cd horologion && ./bin/horologion-install
```
That links rather than copies, so `git pull` updates what you are running. Pass
`quickshell`, `waybar`, `eww` or `bin` to do just one.
## Quickshell
A desktop widget for Hyprland and anything else Quickshell runs on.
```console
$ quickshell -p ~/.config/quickshell/horologion/shell.qml
```
It sits on the background layer, so it behaves like part of the wallpaper —
always under your windows, never stealing a click.
To drop it into a shell you already have:
```qml
import qs.horologion.modules
Horologion {}
```
Three pieces, each usable on its own:
| | |
|---|---|
| `services/Typikon.qml` | a singleton wrapping the CLI — bind to it from anything |
| `services/Theme.qml` | colours, from JSON, with defaults for every key |
| `modules/Horologion.qml` | the widget |
Set a jurisdiction per-widget if you want one different from your default:
```qml
Horologion {
Component.onCompleted: Typikon.jurisdiction = "moscow"
}
```
### Colours
`Theme.qml` reads `~/.config/horologion/colors.json`, or whatever
`HOROLOGION_COLORS` points at, and watches it for changes. Every key has a
default, so the widget is legible with no file at all. See
`quickshell/colors.example.json` — the flat shape most theme generators
already emit.
## waybar
```jsonc
"custom/typikon": {
"exec": "horologion-waybar",
"return-type": "json",
"interval": 1800,
"on-click": "typikon --days 7"
}
```
The module's CSS class is the fast level — `.xerophagy`, `.wine_oil`, `.fish`
— so a day's discipline reads off the colour without reading the text.
`.obligatory` is added only where a particular law actually binds, which under
the Typikon is never: the Orthodox Church keeps the fast as tradition, not as
precept. `waybar/style.css` has a starting palette.
Change what the text says with `--format`:
```console
$ horologion-waybar --format '{emoji} {fastLabel}'
$ horologion-waybar -j moscow --format '{emoji} {churchDate}'
```
## eww
```lisp
(include "horologion/horologion.yuck")
```
Then `(horologion)` for the full panel or `(horologion-bar)` for one line.
`horologion.scss` carries the styling; its colours are `!default` variables, so
set your own before the `@import`.
## What it shows
The feast or the day's principal commemoration, the fast and why, the season,
the week ahead, and Pascha.
**The church date is always in the corner.** On the new calendar it echoes the
wall calendar; on the old it is the answer you came for. Below, ROCOR on 7
January — which is 25 December, and the Nativity.
![The Nativity on the old calendar](docs/old-calendar.png)
**Forefeasts, afterfeasts and leave-takings** get their own quiet line rather
than crowding out the commemoration that makes the day itself. They repeat for
days at a time, and a widget that leads with "Post-festive Day of the
Exaltation" for a week has told you nothing.
**The legend is built from the week in view**, not hardcoded, because the
levels a tradition uses are its own — six under the Typikon, three under
Ruthenian particular law — and the words for them differ too. Great Week uses
nearly all of them:
