Hyprland Desktop Environment

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 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.

Basically what title says, I have a 7800XT and an 7950X3D and in games like Borderlands 2 can I barely overcome the 60FPS (with max settings and 1440p), I have tried gamescope and gamemode but to be honest something doesn't feels right, I have the feeling that Hyprland (Or the OS) is not taking full adventage of my GPU and CPU, since I been watching gameplays of the games I play using my same setup and they have better framerates than me. And something interesting is that even if my FPS are locked to 30, I have constant stutters and my GPU is between 80% and 100% even in the lobby, and this happen specifically in Hyprland, and another interesting thing is that my CPU is always between 85 C and 90 C, when its at just 40% of usage, and this again is specific of Hyprland.

Any idea? I have already experienced something like this when I used Nvidia + Wayland in the past, but I'm now in AMD + Wayland.

I am currently on ArcoLinux with the latest zen kernel, but I have used the same setup on distros like Garuda with i3 and indeed I have better performance, but I know is not that simple.

new version of your favorite window manager

I have two monitors with different resolutions and aspect ratios, my main monitor is on the left and it's a 2560x1440 (27") monitor and the other one is on the right and it's a 1920x1080 (24") monitor.

The problem I'm facing is that when I move my cursor between the displays it makes a kind of 'jump' between them, for example if I move my cursor between my left monitor to my right monitor, once it enters the second monitor its position is not the same as the position from my main monitor, and I understand that this is something that makes sense since they have different aspect ratios and resolutions, but I don't want this behavior.

I have already played with my hyprland.conf but still don't understand how this works, at the moment of writing this I have just commented everything monitor related so hyprland just does it by itself but is not the best.

I recently migrated from Sway to Hyprland, and I can simply say that Hyprland is a marvel and is incredibly faster than Sway in my opinion.

The only problem I'm having right now is that in Borderlands 2 (Proton) when I put the mouse over any option in the game, it takes about 2 seconds to react in the game, for example, if I put the mouse over the “Settings” option the reaction of the game is not immediate, but it takes a moment, and the funny thing is that in the game as such I do not have that problem, only in the inventories and menus, I can play? Yes, but it is uncomfortable

I already tried changing the version of Proton, forcing the game to run through x11 using SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 %command%, putting the game in full screen mode or minimized, in no case fixes the problem, and is specific to Borderlands 2, I've played different games and this has not happened to me and did not happen inside Sway.

Another curious thing to mention is that Borderlands 2 as such does not recognize the resolution of my monitor, but only appears “unidentified” among the Borderlands options, although it is in 1080p.

Thank for any help in advance.
