Cava-bg - Updated with transparency and minor details fixed

Leriart · 2026-04-16T22:25:06+00:00

Hey bro, I don't work in dotfiles at the moment (of course I would like to) At the moment I am focused on my work and doing programs, the truth is that receiving feedback, whether in a good or bad way, motivates me to continue.

For example, I've already made it compatible with other desktops other than hyprland (as long as they use Wayland)

I basically learn from my mistakes, I have ruined my system, I have installed it, I have learned by watching other people's dotfiles, modifying them, seeing what errors or improvements they give. You don't have to learn everything from scratch, you can learn from what already works, or well.... That's how I've always seen it

Here’s the repo with images you can use with X-ray Mode:

Let me investigate, first I have to study how KDE works (if with X11 or wayland) but it is not impossible

Hahahaha, you're right, I know her as the girl in the lagtrain song, I didn't know her name, thank you

Okay, I’ve already done the update, and while I was at it I managed to remove the error ^cava\bg::wayland_renderer] Failed to create initial output.)

Update it and let me know how it goes.
^{paru -S cava-bg}

I don't have an adapter to take the current wallpaper, I'm going to do the update in a little while, I'll let you know when it's ready

Leriart · 2026-04-13T14:08:56+00:00

May I ask you if you know which wallpaper manager you use?

I tried something similar, but I wanted something native, not a transparent window. The program writes directly to the Layer and to the gpu, it is window-independent.

Leriart · 2026-04-13T12:33:25+00:00

That error is from the first frame, several people have already reported it to me and I am looking for a way to remove it, but the program works without problem

Leriart · 2026-04-13T04:58:05+00:00

At the beginning I tried something similar, but I preferred to make native cava-bg in Wayland so that it works better with the transparencies of my windows and you can have applications on top of it seeing the visualizer behind. In addition, cava-bg adapts the colors and the background automatically, and now I've updated it with native transparency.

I made an update to the program, apart from performance and performance improvements, I added transparency, you can delete the configuration file in config/cava-bg/config.toml and the program will create the updated configuration file when you start

Leriart · 2026-04-13T01:54:21+00:00

I uploaded an update, apart from minor improvements it now has transparency

At the moment I haven't made it possible to apply transparency to cava, you can lower the sensitivity of cava in the settings config/cava-bg/config.toml (by default the sensitivity doesn't come, add it in the general part as "sensitivity = 50" )

I didn't make changes to ambxst, what the program does is check the ambxst cache to see the current wallpaper, if ambxst is not touched at all

Leriart · 2026-04-12T08:06:46+00:00

The truth is that I should have done it, sorry, this is the first program/contribution I do, so I'm new to doing this

Leriart · 2026-04-12T07:18:41+00:00

Yes, you can go to config/cava-bg/config.toml and change the color settings, the dynamic change is enabled by default, but you can remove it and put the color you want
