# Marina

Marina is a QML-based workspace dock designed for Nitrux. Built with MauiKit and LayerShell-Qt, it provides application launchers, window tracking, and workspace integration for Hyprland.

### Appearance

- **Position** → Bottom of the screen.
- **Icon size** → 40px.
- **Edge margin** → 5px.
- **Width and height** → Adjusted automatically.

### Window Controls

- **Left-click** → Launch an application or focus its window.
- **Left-click on an application with multiple windows** → Cycle through its windows.
- **Middle-click** → Open a new window.
- **Right-click** → Open the application menu.
- **Drag a pinned launcher** → Reorder the launcher.

### Launcher Menu

The launcher’s contextual menu provides the following actions:

- **Open new window** → Launch another instance of the application.
- **Pin or unpin launcher** → Add or remove the application from the dock.
- **Tile or untile window** → Toggle the active window between tiled and floating.
- **Close** → Close all windows belonging to the application.

### Indicators

- **Window count** → Displays the number of open windows when more than three are running.
- **Unread messages** → Displays launcher-entry message counts when supported by the application.
- **Launch indicator** → Shows while an application is starting.

### Usage

Launcher shortcuts are disabled by default. When enabled, the following Hyprland keybinds are available:

- `Super + F12` → Hold to activate launcher shortcut mode.
- `Super + Ctrl + 1–0` → Launch pinned launcher 1–10.

The default configuration uses a 2.3-second hold delay and keeps launcher shortcut mode active for 995ms. The default keybind for restarting Marina is `Super + Shift + D`.

### Behavior

- **Auto-hide** → Disabled.
- **Auto-hide delay** → 500ms when enabled.
- **Fullscreen behavior** → Marina is hidden while a window is fullscreen.
- **Window tracking** → Updates automatically when applications, windows, workspaces, or displays change.

### Configuration

Marina stores its user configuration in: `~/.config/marina/marina.conf` Marina monitors its configuration file and automatically applies configuration changes.
