+## Noctalia
+
+With [Noctalia](https://noctalia.dev), valw comes as a plugin: a camera
+button on the bar (left click: the toolbar, right click: a region shot),
+the toolbar as a Noctalia panel and a control-center tile. Noctalia draws
+them, so they follow your Noctalia theme.
+
+```nix
+programs.valw.noctalia.enable = true;
+```
+
+Then enable `elars/valw` in Noctalia, add a widget of type `elars/valw:bar`
+to a bar, and bind the toolbar:
+
+```kdl
+Mod+Shift+T { spawn "noctalia" "msg" "panel-toggle" "elars/valw:toolbar"; }
+```
+
 ## Configuration
 
 Every key is optional; these are the defaults.

 - The backdrop calls every lock error "another backdrop is running"; it keeps its first scale after a scale change.
 - libEGL is unloaded when the last backdrop surface goes; a removed output leaks its viewport object.
 - Holding Tab doesn't repeat in the picker; "no windows" exits as an error instead of a cancel.

+- [ ] `programs.valw.noctalia.enable` + `elars/valw` enabled: the camera button appears where the widget is placed; its tooltip says Screenshot.
+- [ ] Left click opens the toolbar panel next to the bar; it uses Noctalia's colours, font, corners and border; switching the palette or light/dark restyles it.
+- [ ] The remembered mode is highlighted; Screen / Region / Window / Zoom each capture, and the panel is never in the shot.
+- [ ] Timer and the three toggles persist, and match what `valw toolbar` (the self-drawn bar) shows, both ways; the timer shows valw's countdown.
+- [ ] Right click on the button: a region shot (no timer).
+- [ ] Control-center tile: click closes the control center, then a region shot; right click opens the toolbar panel.
+- [ ] `noctalia msg panel-toggle elars/valw:toolbar` (Mod+Shift+T) opens and closes the panel.
+- [ ] With valw off Noctalia's PATH: "valw is not available" and a notification, no crash.
+- [ ] Turkish locale: the Turkish strings appear.
