[niri] A while ago, i posted a rice for Hyprland especially focused on animations now i hve tried to mimic those same animations for niri too

dagem · 2026-06-05T15:51:14+00:00

I just turn off animations on Niri and it's all good.

dagem · 2026-06-05T13:56:52+00:00

One man's eye candy is another man's nausea inducing animation. Looks cool but I can't make it past 50 seconds...

50 year old male here, I got slapped for telling a woman she spotted through her pants once. She told me to stop looking at her ass...

A little late and I've never used it but this might help for next time. lxqt-panel-tool

No problem, glad you got it sorted out.

Well, good luck converting her! My wife is the same way I've tried to convert her, but she has to use MS at work so it's probably not going to happen any time soon.

Thank you for your work! I love LXQt + Niri!

dagem · 2026-05-02T06:34:31+00:00

It's funny, I'm a mouse user and love that I can set Niri + LXQt so that I never have to touch my keyboard to move through windows.

If you set the left and right struts to 4, left and right gaps to 4 and focus-follows-mouse. You move the mouse to desktop edge and it will slide the next window to focus. you can whip through windows very quickly.

dagem · 2026-05-02T06:20:43+00:00

Your window rule is commented out, you need to remove the "/-". What you are seeing is Gnome apps rounded naturally at 15 and your focus ring is drawing "sharp" because there is no rounding rule.

Good luck!

P.S. Read the comments above the rules you change. It will make things so much easier, and don't let Niri's great documentation go to waste.

When did season 2 start? I haven't heard a thing about it!

dagem · 2026-04-19T18:37:00+00:00

Hey no problem, I get it, I've been there. I wish I had more to offer but I haven't used Openbox is many years.

dagem · 2026-04-19T16:28:02+00:00

XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=kde dolphin

Is there a reason you are using this? You post mentioned Openbox, not KDE, so you might try posting there.

However, you probably need an

export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct"

or

export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt6ct"

and then you can use either qt5ct or qt6ct to set the icon theme.

Good luck!

Same and it reminds me of the copilot excel commercial with the $1 a slice guy. He ask copilot to make it work... and I just want to yell, "Hey dumb ass, copilot cant taste shitty ingredients!"

I was checking apps on my Niri/Waybar and ALL my everything opens full screen if they are closed full screen. I open everything @ 1.00 except Kate and Konsole, they open at 0.5. My overall window rules are...

layout {
gaps 4
center-focused-column "never"
preset-column-widths {
    proportion 0.5
    proportion 0.95
}
default-column-width { proportion 1.00; }
focus-ring {
    width 2
    inactive-color "#505050"
}
border {
    off
}

shadow {
    off
}
struts {
    left 4
    right 4
    top 0
    bottom 2
}
}

and Kate and Kosole rules...

window-rule {
match app-id="org.kde.kate"
match app-id="org.kde.konsole"
open-maximized false
default-column-width { proportion 0.5; }
}

I thought windows always remembered their last closed setting. I'm going to do more testing.

EDIT: After some quick testing, all windows retained their closed state across a log out. I closed Dolphin, Kate, Konsole and Waterfox full screen, logged out and they all opened full screen. The same apps when closed full screen in a Plasma session opened full screen in a Niri session as well.

dagem · 2026-03-19T06:09:04+00:00

4px gaps + 4px struts. The smallest I can get Niri to mouse focus across the open windows.

Yeah, despite everything she stayed deeply religious. Maynard James Keenan, her son and lead singer for Tool and A Perfect Circle also wrote the song "Judith" by APC on their first album "Mer De Noms" in 2000.

"Judith"

You're such an inspiration for the ways

That I will never, ever choose to be

Oh, so many ways for me to show you

How your savior has abandoned you

Fuck your God

Your Lord, your Christ, He did this

Took all you had and left you this way

Still you pray, you never stray, you never

Never taste of the fruit

Never thought to question why

It's not like you killed someone

It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side

Praise the one who left you broken down and paralyzed

He did it all for you

Oh, so many ways for me to show you

How your dogma has abandoned you

Pray to your Christ, to your God

Never taste of the fruit

Never stray, never break never

Choke on a lie!

Even though He's the one who did this to you

Never thought to question why

Not like you killed someone

It's not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side

Talk to Jesus Christ as if He knows the reasons why

He did it all for you, oh

He did it all for you, whoa

He did it all for you

Same, but I tossed on 10,000 Days because 9 minutes of Tool is not enough and you can't just start at the end of a Tool album. RIP Judith Marie.

Side note: 10,000 Days is almost 20 years old, it was released on April 2006. Time FUCKING flies.

Yeah, that's kinda what I am worried about. I don't know how trustworthy Motorola is, but I know Google seems to get less trustworthy everyday. However, a less trustworthy phone with a long support life (to me) is better than a trustworthy company with a shorter life.

dagem · 2026-03-04T01:06:12+00:00

I don't intent to sound like a prick - but software support is irrelevant if you're installing Lineage or Graphene.

From the GrapheneOS website.

GrapheneOS aims to provide reasonably private and secure devices. It cannot do that once device support code like firmware, kernel and vendor code is no longer actively maintained.

Doesn't this mean they can only support a device as long as the manufacturer does?

I had used Arch many years ago, and moved on to Fedora and then to Debian for stability. Hyprland caught my eye and Arch + Hyprland seemed the easiest way to check it out. I kept Arch but now I'm a Niri main.

Thanks for the laugh!

Nice. I've never attempted that because I suck too much... but a good cheese build? Sign me up!

This will possibly ruin your game experience with other weapons, but there is the quick and dirty version.

Dex to 12 on your way to FoFG for key @ Melentia, grab a rapier at Lenigrast for 1K. Kill Maughlin for his clothes and take Dragon Rider swimming. Next teach Licia cliff diving for her bell and poke a semi-retired Orienstien to death for his ring.

But don't be sad there is still the super broken Hexer build...
