Possible in quickshell?

Is it possible to make a pill/bar in quickshell with the specific animations I am showing

A consistent transition for a lock screen/login screen just like as in video

The 3 boxes were just dummy boxes to show how would animation work for sub-options in main pill

My first Linux rice

Please have mercy on me, considering this is my first attempt at a Linux rice. Specifically doom themed.

Yes, I took inspiration from bad blood(HyDE) in case anyone noticed the similarity. But I coded this majorly in Quickshell, I am still new, so any help, any critique is appreciated. I will be releasing the dotfiles soon.

I installed HyDE, enabled Bad Blood theme using hyde shell, and modded the color schemes with oh my posh, all will be available in the dotfiles I will upload, as will as instructions on how to configure it on your desktop

If anyone wishes to work with me, please, feel free to DM me! <3

AETHR shell - complete Quickshell dotfiles for Hyprland with *no persistent bar*

Oh, you wanted a persistent bar? Ok boomer. The rest of us want to see our desktops unencumbered, thank you very much. Why take up valuable real estate when you can easily hover to the screen edges to reveal only the modules you need, when you need them, if you need them, and probably how you need them, am I right?

You want unnecessary visual bloat, or you want completely necessary Material Design icons affixed to every module, like a fake TV antenna and knobs on the workspace previews, and speaker icons next to the sound control module? Don't forget a wallpaper picker that rivals/badly mimics the latest skewed card layouts that are all the rage three years ago. Don't take this shell too seriously and it won't take you for a sucker. Capisce?

Bezel, a Wayland trackpad gesture daemon written in Rust

been using this for a bit now, finally feels solid enough to share. Bezel adds edge/corner gesture support for trackpads on Wayland swipes, taps, corner triggers, that kind of thing mapped to whatever commands you want.

runs on niri, Hyprland, Sway, and apparently GNOME too (didn't expect that one, Mutter wasn't blocking evdev after all)

made a lil visual debug/demo tool too basically an on-screen trackpad that mirrors your real gestures live as you do them, helps a ton when you're tuning thresholds or just want to see what's being detected.

config's simple, no daemon bloat, low latency. still actively fixing bugs and adding stuff (audio fallback, haptics where hardware supports it, OSD overlays).

if you're on niri/Hyprland and love trackpad gestures, give it a shot. open to feedback/issues 🙏

How can I scale an app differently then the rest in Hyprland.lua?

After the hyprland format changed to lua, I can't seem to be able to find this even on the wiki. This one app doesn't scale properly in 0.8x but I don't wanna get 1x on all of my system, have any of you guys figured out how we can do that?

Why is it so annoying to properly configure kde / gnome / gtk / qt apps running on hyprland?

I have caelestia (which has a useful colour theme switcher) with hyprland. It somehow manages to switch colors for very specific apps (i.e thunar when i open and close it again, nautilus only sometimes).

An example of this is when I want to change cursors. I want to be able to browse through 1. icon themes 2. cursors 3. colour schemes online and download them and apply them. I try to change it using `nwg-look` and the cursor only changes in certain apps, and in some apps the size is bigger than usual

I desperately want to use dolphin but at its current state i am having a lot of difficulties doing so (i.e when i use caelestia to change the colour scheme then dolphin's text is the same colour as the background)

Also, dolphin's "open with" feature is completely broken and does not follow the rules of xdg-mime AND there is no easy way to change what file manager opens up in firefox when i press the downloads folder (currently it is stuck in vscodium, have no idea how to change it)

the only reason i am staying with hyprland is solely because of

  1. the blur

  2. the keybindings

  3. caelestia's beautiful animations / ecosystem

but this app config hell is very painful and time-consuming

Please someone help me. I dont want to have to dig through random configs. The only time i ever want to manually touch a config file is when changing keybindings / blur / animations on hyprland.

is there a central app that unifies / simplifies all this and lets me

- change cursor size and theme for all apps

- change light theme / dark theme on all apps

- change icon theme on all apps

like nwg-look but it isn't limited to certain apps and it updates without a restart?

hypr-switch

A lightweight, symlink-based shell switcher for Hyprland (https://hyprland.org). Manage multiple Hyprland shells/dotfiles (e.g. `skwd`, `brainshell`, `HyDE`, `dots`, `celestial`) side by side, and switch between them instantly — no manually copying or overwriting config files ever again.

Works with both the legacy `hyprland.conf` (hyprlang) and the new `hyprland.lua` (Hyprland 0.55+) config formats, and any mix of the two across different shells.

Shells are auto-discovered from disk every time `hypr-switch` runs. There is no fixed list baked into the script at install time — add a new shell by creating a folder and dropping a config into it, and it's immediately available. No re-installing, no editing the script.

Please star ⭐ the repo if like my project 🥺

Anyone want to talk?

I had a problem with a dotfiles package and I'd like to know if someone who knows about Linux could help me. I installed a dotfiles package for Hyperland, but I think it broke some things.
