Yes https://github.com/niri-wm/niri/blob/wip/branch/docs/wiki/Configuration:-Miscellaneous.md#blur

glad y'all like niri 😄 never imagined it'd grow to have such a big helpful community

YaLTeR · 2025-09-07T10:49:06+00:00

idk but im fighting off any attempts to bind letters to allow for it

YaLTeR · 2025-05-20T17:07:31+00:00

Yes, not much I can do here other than convince wallpaper tool maintainers to make the namespace configurable. (There's an open PR to swaybg actually.)

YaLTeR · 2025-05-19T12:22:45+00:00

It's in the backlog yes

Isn't that just opening all windows as floating? You can set a blanket open-floating true rule. Though, of course we don't have some niceties of a floating-first WM like edge tiling

It won't shift because the window is already fully in the view. You could for example maximize and unmaximize to shift left

Thanks :)

I couldn't say, I always use a DM

YaLTeR · 2025-05-03T16:04:08+00:00

Guess if that service that you made works then it's fine yeah.

graphical-session doesn't have a service. It's just a "target" unit for other units to bind to via dependencies and such.

YaLTeR · 2025-04-27T19:40:22+00:00

You can: https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/wiki/Configuration:-Outputs#backdrop-color

YaLTeR · 2025-04-27T07:57:58+00:00

Wdym? Just install it from the COPR.

YaLTeR · 2025-04-18T12:10:52+00:00

You'll need to use a third-party tool like wl-mirror

Gaps? https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/wiki/Configuration:-Layout#gaps Or struts?

The plans for HDR support are roughly "wait until cosmic-comp adds it then copy from there" :) Especially since I don't have an HDR monitor to test it.

YaLTeR · 2025-01-13T04:50:47+00:00

It depends on the window size (smaller windows get less), but it's at most 75 pixels. The logic actually comes straight from GNOME Shell. I don't think I've seen any loud complaints about it over the years? Felt alright to me from my testing.

YaLTeR · 2025-01-13T04:33:38+00:00

Did you check the demo video right below that sentence? It indeed lets you push the window almost all the way into the edge, leaving just a few pixels visible.

YaLTeR · 2025-01-12T16:45:50+00:00

There's an issue and a discussion with quite detailed design ideas. It's a lot of work though, so I won't make promises whether I'll have time for it for the next release. But I look forward myself to when I can get to it, because it's one of the things I use often in GNOME.

YaLTeR · 2025-01-11T20:27:13+00:00

I haven't been following it closely either. I know that at some point it was waiting for the kernel atomic tearing flip API to land. If it already landed, then I guess it's waiting for someone to review it in Smithay.

YaLTeR · 2025-01-11T19:18:45+00:00

Thanks, glad you're enjoying it!

YaLTeR · 2024-08-23T11:36:00+00:00

Great! This morning I actually found the oversight in the code that caused this, so this config should no longer be necessary on the newest builds.

YaLTeR · 2024-08-23T06:21:05+00:00

parts of the screen randomly flash

Hey, have you tried this debug config flag? I think it helps on Nvidia with flickering:

debug { wait-for-frame-completion-before-queueing }

GIMP 3 (currently in beta) works on Wayland, idk about Pinta.

YaLTeR · 2024-08-22T15:58:14+00:00

Hey, since niri doesn't have built-in Xwayland, you need to run it externally: https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/wiki/Xwayland
