Hyprland Desktop Environment

Inspired by the GNOME RSS Shell Extension, i made a RSS reader as a Waybar custom module + HTML view — for Hyprland / Wayland compositors.

Because i think a long list directly in the shell is not so smart, my app creates regularly a index.html from a given list of RSS/Atom feeds.

How it works

• Waybar module: Shows RSS icon with article count for a configurable time window.

• Left click: Opens index.html with all articles from the last N hours, grouped by feed.

• Right click: Forces immediate refresh + HTML regeneration.

• systemd timer: Regenerates the HTML page every hour automatically.

I recently set up hyprland for the first time and I'm really enjoying it, however I noticed that the Steam client and games looked a little pixelated. Not blurry, just like, sharp pixels. Checking in the graphical settings of a game showed it was running at 720p. My screen is 1080p so this is a little odd. I'm running Arch on a Fujitsu Lifebook U749. Anyone know what's up?

Got annoyed by forgetting to run hyprpm update after each update of Hyprland on Arch so I made a quick pacman hook to automatically do it, just place (or symlink) it in /etc/pacman.d/hooks and make sure the file name ends in .hook:

[Trigger]
Operation = Upgrade
Type = File
Target = /usr/bin/hyprland
[Action]
Description = Update hyprpm plugins
When = PostTransaction
Exec = hyprpm update

anyone know of a way to at least get a static frame of my live wallpaper when running hyprshutdown?

i have a live wallpaper that runs via swww.

while the hyprshutdown command sloves some of my issues, it creates another one: my wallpaper resets to the default hyprland wallpaper due to hyprshutdown killing the swww-daemon (which to be fair does not really affect my system, its just slightly annoying)

i tried a script that first runs hyprpaper with a static frame of my wallpaper before running hyprshutdown as i heard that hyprpaper does not have that issue, but unfortunately that script does not execute hyprshutdown...

Edit: I want a graphical window switcher that's fully keyboard controlled, so I can see the windows before switching them.

The screenshot is from hyprland-easymotion which only shows labels for visible windows. I want a switcher that allows for both switching to windows or the same, or from any app, using just the keyboard and no mouse.

Ideally I could go to a window without pressing tab or another key a bunch of times, perhaps select any window (visible or not) with a letter like easymotion.

Not just screenshots like hyprshot, but also recording videos of part of the screen. I used to use spectacle but there's no way without kwin.

i've seen some really stunning hyprland setups and i'd love to see more, does anyone know where to find examples or inspiration?

the sidebar has a link to the "Official Ricing Field", but the link is dead and hyprland's new homepage only has the hall of fame. this seems like a really great use case for the fediverse and i'd love to see this (or another) community become the unofficial hub - so as a separate question does anyone know if @s4if@lemmy.world (the only mod here) is still active?

I switched to Hyprland some time ago and now I made a video showcasing all the features I've implemented for myself, check it out!

In this video I'm showing my current Hyprland setup as a demo. I'm showing features I implemented myself and my configuration of hyprland, waybar, tofi, wlogout, kitty and other tools.

Hope it's alright to also share this here

Hi all. I just wrote a small alternative to cliphist in Rust. Has a couple of additional features over cliphist while still trying to keep the same spirit of simplicity.

If you are on a Wayland compositor like Hyprland or Sway and like simple clipboard history managers, consider checking it out. Hopefully it can be helpful to others too. I am also happy to accept any feedback.

Hey,

I currently have two monitors with the same specs, but I usually use the one on the left for playing and the one on the right for checking guides. I don't always use the right-hand monitor; sometimes it just sits there switched on, but I don't use it.

Is there a way to lock or dim my secondary screen when it's not in use, so that I don't have to turn it off manually? Ideally, if my cursor is focused on the left monitor and the right monitor hasn't received any input for a while, it would turn off or display an image.

Thank you.

Hey hey people, vax here.

I've seen the post about Hyprland Premium go a bit viral and people don't seem to understand fully what we're doing.

There is a reason no pages link to the account. subdomain, because it's a work in progress, after all. That's why wording is a bit lacking, that's why registrations are closed.

Anyways, here are some key takeaways:

Yes, it's real

It's the official website. I did not get hacked.

Hyprland is not going closed source

It says that in the first sentence on the page. No paid features, beta branches, etc. We continue development as always.

Why money

I need something to eat too. Once I end university, if I can't make this my full-time job, I will have to severely decrease my contributions in favor of a real job. If this gets us somewhere, it will be only with benefits to you, the users. If I get enough money to hire another guy to help me work on Hyprland full time, I will.

Forums:

Already on forum.hypr.land. To log in, you need a Hyprland Account, that's why we haven't "fully" launched them yet.

"Premium" Forums:

Additional categories on the same forum for premium subscribers - these include premium support (where you get answers from me instead of the community at large), Q&A with me, and some banter chats.

Desktop Experience:

Free desktop experience: Dotfiles provided by us, with one-click installs and updates.

Premium desktop experience: Same as above, but with more customization options. (dotfile customizations, e.g. "bar on what side", "what button where", etc, not Hyprland features)

"Further premium services":

A general catch-all clause if any premium services come out in the future, they will most likely just be a part of the premium subscription. This might be dotfile sync, or other ideas. We don't know yet, that's why we didn't say.

Cheers, happy Hyprlanding.

I've been on the fence since I've been trying Hyprland. What I want out of a window manager / DE is lots of window customization settings (borders, animations, etc.), & having configuration inside one file or one directory with hot-reloading (I'm switching from KDE since its config files all over the place). Hyprland is very popular among WM users with a large ecosystem, though I prefer stacking rather than tiling. I can make it work with some window rules, and shell scripts using hyprctl & jq.

I'm wondering how many little things I will need to fix / figure out. For instance, when I open the firefox bookmarks library with CTRL SHIFT O. When that window is open but not focused, and not on top, if I press CTRL SHIFT O again on a DE it comes back to the top, but not on Hyprland. I could probably find a fix for that?

I might be answering my own question but I really want to hear thoughts.

I want some windows to auto start at the exact same spot and size each time, however the “size” and “move” window rules seem to do nothing, and tbh the wiki ain't really making things more clear.

The order in which the applications start seems to still determine how the windows tile.

The setup I want is Spotify center, and below 2 kitty terminals, one with btop one with cava, however none of the window rules seem to affect position.

Here is my current config, I already tried various different values for the “move” rule, but no value changed the order of windows
i also tried it with windowrulev2 but that didnt change anything either

exec-once = [workspace 3 silent] spotify-launcher  
exec-once = [workspace 3 silent] $terminal --title visualizer $visualizer  
exec-once = [workspace 3 silent] $terminal --title resources $resources  
windowrule = move 100% 100%, title:(Spotify)(,*)  
windowrule = move -100% 100%, class:(kitty), title(resources)  
windowrule = move 100% -100%, class:(kitty), title(visualizer) 

how i want it to look

how it ends up looking

here for hyprcursor also to customize my cursor

I have an 180Hz monitor, and in my Hyprland config file, I have the monitor set to "auto," which works as expected. The problem is that "auto" mode doesn't seem to be as automatic as I hoped. What I want is for my monitor to run at 60Hz while I'm on the desktop, but for it to automatically switch to a higher refresh rate when playing games at more than 60FPS.

However, this doesn’t seem to happen. If my monitor is set to "auto" and a game runs at more than 60FPS, the monitor stays at 60Hz. For example, if the game is running at 180FPS, I want the monitor to match that refresh rate. The only solution I’ve found so far is to manually change my Hyprland configuration files to set my monitor to 180Hz. However, I don’t want to have to make these manual changes every time I want to play a game. Is there a way to make this process automatic? And yes, I can set my monitor to run globally at 180Hz in my Hyprland config files, but that feels a bit unnecessary.

I'm trying to use PrtSc button to take screenshots, in hyprland on nixos. I used grim and slurp to take screenshot using script to save the image and copy to the clipboard. This script does not run when PrtSc is pressed, it works in terminal. I think its hyprland problem.

Since a week or two back, my cursor theme for QT apps stopped working. In Hyprland and some apps (like Kitty) the cursor is the hyprland logo. GTK apps work fine as I set them with NWG-look. I have set the QT theme to Breeze with qt5ct and qt6ct.

I followed the wiki and according to the FAQ the cursor being a hyprland logo is because no cursor theme is installed. But like, no? Breeze is installed, which is the theme I want. I also installed other hyprcursor themes to test them but that didn't work either. What is going on?

Here is the relevant part of my config. Did I miss anything?

    env=HYPRCURSOR_THEME,Breeze
    env=HYPRCURSOR_SIZE,24
    
    env=XCURSOR_SIZE,24
    env=XCURSOR_THEME,Breeze
    
    env=QT_QPA_PLATFORM,wayland
    env=QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME,qt5ct

Edit: forgot this which is also in the config

exec-once = hyprctl setcursor Breeze 24

[SOLVED] can't set up the Hyprshot dir

I'm trying to set the Hyprshot dir to /home/wonderfox/Screenshots so it won't clog up my Pictures folder with screenshots but for some reason it won't work, it keeps saving screenshots to my Pictures dir

I have added export HYPRSHOT_DIR=/home/wonderfox/Screenshots to my .bashrc and env = HYPRSHOT_DIR,/home/wonderfox/Screenshots to my hyprland.conf

what am I doing wrong?

@hyprland@lemmy.world

#Hyprland #Hyprshot

general {
  after_sleep_cmd=hyprctl dispatch dpms on
  before_sleep_cmd=loginctl lock-session
  lock_cmd=hyprlock
}

listener {
  on-timeout=loginctl lock-session
  timeout=300
}

listener {
  on-resume=hyprctl dispatch dpms on
  on-timeout=hyprctl dispatch dpms off
  timeout=330
}

listener {
  on-timeout=systemctl suspend
  timeout=600
}

Guys I feel like there's something wrong or odd in this config, cuz, I don't know whats responsible for this but, it looks like things aren't working well together, I said it looks like cuz I never caugth an actual error. So what happens is that after I leave my laptop idle, the hypridle starts doing its thing and most of the times it works, my laptop is suspended, hyprlock works etc, but sometimes, after I press any button on my keyboard to wake my laptop, I can see that my laptop is up, but all I can see is black screen, and then I have to hard shutdown the laptop, so somethings is not adding up here.
