## Customization
|
|
|
|
### Hyprland Configuration
|
|
|
|
The main configuration is in `/etc/xdg/hypr/hyprland.conf`. You can modify this file to customize:
|
|
|
|
- Window decorations and animations
|
|
- Key bindings
|
|
- Workspace behavior
|
|
- Monitor configuration
|
|
- Input settings
|
|
|
|
### Waybar Configuration
|
|
|
|
The status bar configuration is in `/etc/xdg/waybar/config` and styling in `/etc/xdg/waybar/style.css`.
|
|
|
|
### Dunst Configuration
|
|
|
|
Notification settings are in `/etc/xdg/dunst/dunstrc`.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration Files
|
|
|
|
The system automatically creates these configuration files:
|
|
|
|
- **Hyprland**: `/etc/xdg/hypr/hyprland.conf`
|
|
- **Waybar**: `/etc/xdg/waybar/config` and `/etc/xdg/waybar/style.css`
|
|
- **Dunst**: `/etc/xdg/dunst/dunstrc`
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### Common Issues
|
|
|
|
1. **Applications not starting**: Ensure the application supports Wayland
|
|
2. **Screen tearing**: Check if `allow_tearing = true` is set in hyprland.conf
|
|
3. **Performance issues**: Try disabling animations or reducing blur effects
|
|
4. **Keybindings not working**: Check if there are conflicts with other applications
|
|
|
|
### Logs
|
|
|
|
Hyprland logs are available in:
|
|
- `journalctl --user -f` (for user session)
|
|
- `~/.local/share/hyprland/hyprland.log`
|
|
|
|
### XWayland Support
|
|
|
|
XWayland is enabled by default for compatibility with X11 applications. If you experience issues, you can disable it by setting `xwayland.enable = false` in the configuration.
|
|
|
|
## Building as VM
|
|
|
|
To build and test the Hyprland configuration as a virtual machine:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./ctl.sh os rebuild hyprland
|
|
```
|
|

## Notes
|
|
|
|
- This configuration is optimized for Swiss German keyboard layout
|
|
- All configuration files are managed by NixOS and will be restored on rebuild
|
|
- Custom user configurations should be placed in `~/.config/hypr/` to override system defaults
|
|
- Keybindings follow i3 conventions for easy transition from i3wm
|
|
- **Dual navigation**: Both vim-style (h/j/k/l) and arrow keys work for all functions
|
|
- **Intuitive modifiers**: Control for resizing, Shift for moving windows
|
|
- Monitor configuration is set for a 1920x1080@144 display (customize as needed) |
