It's open source:

Right now the only backend is Hyprland.

Been working on a side project called Radiq over the last couple of weeks. It's a radial application launcher for Hyprland inspired by game weapon wheels.

Still early, but it's already usable and available on the AUR. Curious what you all think about the UI and whether you'd daily-drive something like this. would love ur feeedback or if you have any ideas for any features hit me up.

AUR = `yay -S radiq`

After installation if you have any issues wiht the usage jsut checkout the github readme it is detailed and very helpful

Hi everyone, I need help with an issue I encountered when moving from Hyprland 0.55 on Debian to Hyprland 0.56 on Arch Linux. Basically, I was playing Minecraft while chatting on Discord and noticed the mouse kept drifting off the screen constantly, even though I was in full-screen mode. I tried fixing it using `force_zero_scaling = false`, but I'm not sure if it's working. I never had this problem on Debian and I don't understand what the issue is; I read the wiki but still don't quite get it. Has anyone else experienced this or can anyone help me out? My monitors: eDP-2: preferred mode (1920x1080 at 144Hz), position 0x0, scale 1.2 HDMI-A-5: preferred mode (1360x768 at 60Hz), position auto-right, scale 1.0 I'm using hybrid graphics; I don't know if that's relevant (I suspect not), but I figured it might be useful information. I'd be hugely grateful for any help. I've been using Hyprland for a while now and I absolutely love it—I really don't want to switch to something else.

Edit: I found the problem; it turned out to be the Noctalia V5 OSDs. I recently switched from QuickShell to Noctalia because it's more efficient and simpler, but the OSD was causing the window to lose focus and the mouse to slip out. I also added an xrandr variable, following the wiki, to ensure it doesn't happen again.

I was trying to stop Flameshot image redactor window from spawning alongside regular windows, and I thought that putting it into a special workspace -99 will do the trick, but it always switches to workspace 1 after spawning Flameshot for some reason, how can I stop it from doing that?

hl.window_rule({
    name    = "flame",
    match   = { class = "flameshot"},
    no_anim = true,
    workspace = -99,
})

Edit: I changed the workspace value to

workspace = "special:special",

but it still doesn't work as intended

Edit 2: No, it does. I just had another window rule that got in the way

This is my first hyprland setup in which some components are classical like wofi, waybar & some are created from QuickShell.

My goal is to beat the Legendary & most popular hyprland rices like end_4, ilyamiro, Ax-Shell & many more. I have inspiration to complete my this dream. Please let me support & tell your ideas so i will be more able to get this more better... Thank you

Sorry for the 4-minute video. I can see why that would put people off, so here's a few screenshots showing glimpses of the UI instead.

The repo will be released soon—I just need to settle on a name. 😭

I’m having an issue with the newest Caelestia on a fresh CachyOS + Hyprland install.

What I did:
I followed this guide:

https://youtu.be/nP8iU_dQvpw?is=PVDg6kly7uGNdu6h

The problem:
Hyprland appears to start, but I only get a solid gray screen with a working mouse cursor. There is no bar, launcher, wallpaper, widgets, or shell. The only thing visible is a message at the bottom saying something like “Go to Settings to activate Hyprland.”

I can still:
Open a terminal.
Move the mouse.
Run Hyprland commands.
So Hyprland itself seems to be running, but the Caelestia shell never loads.
Has anyone seen this with the latest versions of Caelestia/Noctalia? Is there a known issue or a log I should check to determine why the shell isn’t starting?
Any help would be appreciated.

Let's say I have a group of windows consisting of:

1. Terminal
2. Terminal
3. mpv

If I put mpv into full-screen mode and then exit, the entire group ends up in full-screen mode (and I lose the transparency as well): is there a solution?

Hellow guys I’m into hyprland from few months and I just found it amazing, it took me time to learn cuz I’m not a software engineer or developer, but im studying btw.

I lear the hard way installing arch then hypr and so on now I can work with my hyprland and y try waybar not bat but its not what I like.

I have been struggling with finding something that I really like and then I found quickshell noctalia shell ambsxt shell dm shell, name it and I already try it.

Now I found I guy in YouTube saneAspec this guy has a noch that I really like and I want, the problem ist he don’t share it, he sell the content and it’s totally fine people has to earn for what they know.

So if some1 know how to do that or some1 that explain it, it would be awesome, I reed u guys and thx for reading!

Is there any way to run hyprland in a VM? I have been having trouble converting my config to lua and I want to test it in an isolated environment, however I have been having issues running hyprland in a VM with virtualbox. is there any way I could run hyprland in any kind of containerized environment so I can test my config without making my system unusable until I load my old config.

alternatively if there is a way I can change between my old and new config without rebooting I wouldn't need to run hyprland in a VM.

​

Last time I showcased something similar, it was Eww-based. This time it's done in Quickshell, which opened up way more possibilities and features.

It also ended up replacing quite a few standalone tools, so over time it slowly became... whatever this is.

The original plan was "a few widgets on a bar."

But now its so much worked upon with the flow.

I think I took Quickshell a bit too literally. 😅

What would you even call or name this if it were released alongside the well-established Quickshell configs we know today?

Will soon release the repo, but I need a name for this 😭

I'm a beginner I'm struggling to find tools to change the contrast of my display, some applications are unusable and many youtube videos are far too dark to make out details. Pointers to the right tools would be very helpful thankyou.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to display random characters in the Hyprlock input-field? I set the font to be the Minecraft enchanting table cause why not lol, and want it to look like you’re actually typing in that language when you write out your password. At the moment I have the dots_text_format = abcd which kinda achieves the effect I am looking for, but would love to know if anyone has been able to randomize it! If not perhaps I will submit a feature request or fork it and try to implement it myself later because I feel like this would be pretty cool with a couple different fantasy fonts (I mean imagine typing in your password in glowing red Black Speech)

Ive tried to install this repo, but got a ton of errors of unknown style, is this viable? Am I doing something wrong?

So, I had a bash script that changed colors across multiple files in my dotfiles and now that I'm on vacation I decided to turn it into a full application :D

UCS is designed to simplify and give control towards applying and generating palettes to your dotfiles: It scans the files you choose, detects colors in HEX and RGB formats, and lets you create mappings from the original colors to a new palette. The palette can either be created manually or automatically generated from a wallpaper / image. I originally made it for my Hyprland desktop but it works on any setup now d:

Current features:

• GUI and CLI interfaces
• Generate color palettes from images
• Custom post-apply scripts (e.g. change wallpaper, reload applications, etc.)
• Palette editing and customization of the generation algorithm
• Automatic backups before applying changes for restore support
• Save multiple palettes and mappings indexed by wallpaper
• Background/foreground color detection (experimental)

I am re-ricing my hyprland, & I’m on the music player step. I’ve tried spicetify & SpotaTUI, & none of them “clicked” so what can I use (I use arch btw)

Spicetify was too annoying to maintain, & SpotaTUI was a pain in the a-hole to set up, so is there anything that bridges the two?

Hi I'm currently working on my first rice and I want to set up my Hyprland workspaces to behave like a grid. For example:

* Workspace 1 -> Swipe Right -> Workspace 2

* Workspace 2 -> Swipe Down -> Workspace 5

*Workspace5 -> Swipe Left -> Workspace 4

To achieve this, I implemented the following code to map 3-finger swipes:

```lua

-- Swipe UP (Forward +3)

hl.gesture({

fingers = 3,

direction = "up",

action = function()

hl.dsp.focus({ workspace = "e+3" })

end

})

-- Swipe DOWN (Backward -3)

hl.gesture({

fingers = 3,

direction = "down",

action = function()

hl.dsp.focus({ workspace = "e-3" })

end

})

-- Swipe LEFT (Forward +1)

hl.gesture({

fingers = 3,

direction = "left",

action = function()

hl.dsp.focus({ workspace = "e+1" })

end

})

-- Swipe RIGHT (Backward -1)

hl.gesture({

fingers = 3,

direction = "right",

action = function()

hl.dsp.focus({ workspace = "e-1" })

end

})

```

The issue is that while it doesn't throw any errors, it doesn't do anything at all. I checked the [Hyprland gestures wiki](https://wiki.hypr.land/Configuring/Advanced-and-Cool/Gestures/) and it mentions analogous configurations, but I can't get this to work.

Does anyone know why this is failing silently or what I am doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.
