TIPS
Tip
Before changing any files or configuration, it is advisable to create a back-up. So you can easily revert back to original settings if things goes sideways.
- i.e.
cp fileName.conf fileName.bak
-
CTRL ALT w wallpaper shuffle (right click on wallpaper οΎ waybar module)
-
Super w wallpaper select (click on wallpaper waybar οΎ module) add more wallpaper in ~/Pictures/wallpapers
- right click on update ο waybar module wallpaper cycle using swww
- for the wallpaper styles and configurations, you can watch my video about it https://youtu.be/6ZGzOjMJBe4
- scripts for wallpaper stuff are located in ~/.config/hypr/UserScripts file names
WallpaperAutoChange.shWallpaperSelect.shWallpaperRandom.shWallpaperEffects.sh - if your wallpapers are on a different path, edit the scripts above.
- files are located in ~/.config/hypr/UserConfigs . View with SUPER E
- Keybindings file is located here ~/.config/hypr/UserConfigs/UserKeybinds.conf & ~/.config/hypr/configs/Keybinds.conf
- Super Alt V launch the rofi menu of clipboard manager
-
click to select the clipboard. And paste as normal (CTRL V or right click menu)
-
some additional actions at the clipboard manager entry (CTRL del or ALT del)
-
- nwg-look is a very good app. Use it to adjust your own preference.
- for qt-apps, use qt5ct and/or qt6ct
- HiDPI users, I suggest you do the following to have a better appearance.
-
adjust scaling according to your taste by editing ~/.config/hypr/UserConfigs/Monitors.conf
-
adjust font size using nwg-look (GTK Settings)
-
You can tweak the fonts scaling in Font tab in nwg-look
-
Lastly, if desired, adjust waybar fonts sizes in ~/.config/waybar/styles/ . NOT the styles.css since that is only a symlink to the styles in waybar styles folder
- for GTK apps theming, use nwg-look (GTK Settings) utility. Its a very powerful gtk utility theming. Take note that when changing from Dark Light using the waybar button dark-light, the DarkLight.sh (~/.config/hypr/scripts) will take over. The Darklight.sh is looking for "Light" and "Dark" keywords in ~/.themes, ~/.icons, waybar [Light] or [Dark], ~/Pictures/wallpapers/Dynamic-Wallpapers
- For QT Apps theming, use qt5ct, and/or qt6ct and Kvantum Manager. By default, the qt-theme (set using kvantum), is set to Catpuccin-Mocha theme. You can change the qt apps theme using kvantum-manager.
- kb_passthrough is disabled by default. To re-enable, edit
~/.config/hypr/UserConfigs/UserKeybinds.confAt the bottom you will see the Keyboard passthrough
Tip
Rename your waybar configs and styles that you have costumized so it wont be overwritten during upgrade
-
waybar font too big or too small. Edit the font-size in waybar styles located in ~/.config/waybar/styles/ . By default, it is set to 97%. After adjusting the GTK font scaling to your liking, edit all the waybar styles. Reduce or increase according to your needs. NOTE that its on percent %. You can also change to px whichever suits you. Note: This corresponds well with nwg-look (GTK Settings). So suggest to adjust first your font settings using nwg-look. And then adjust the waybar.
-
if you want 12h format instead of 24H format, edit the ~/.config/waybar/modules look for clock. for 12h format, should be like %I:%M%P; for 24H format, %H:%M:%S.. ensure to disable one format by adding // before that line. For clock formatting, you can use website: https://help.gnome.org/users/gthumb/stable/gthumb-date-formats.html.en
-
NOTE!!! some waybars layouts have a separate modules baked into their respective configs (ie Peony, Chrysanthemum, Camelia, etc) and does not get all modules from main waybar modules file. Edit each configs accordingly to your liking (~/.config/waybar/configs)
-
Regarding the waybar keyboard module, If you want to add in different waybar layout, the module name is custom/keyboard. Kindly NOTE that this will read your kb_layout in your Settings.conf. to change kb_layout, add in your Settings.conf .... i.e. kb_layout=us,es,ru and then refresh waybar (SUPER ALT R), then you can change keyboard by left clicking the keyboard module.
-
unwanted waybar module:
- Simplest is to edit
~/.config/waybar/modules. Put // before or delete that module. - Or you dont really need to worry about since the modules not defined on waybar configs are not loaded.
- So best and recommended to is to edit both the configs and styles that you prefer on configs and styles folder in
~/.config/waybar. Then simply load it.
- Simplest is to edit
Note
DO NOT edit directly the files ~/.config/waybar/config and ~/.config/waybar/style.css These two files are only symlinks to files in ~/.config/waybar/configs/ and ~/.config/waybar/styles/
- plenty waybar hyprland/workspaces to choose from. Circle, Roman Number, Kanji pacman, and workspace number and icons. Assign accordingly on waybar configs of choice as per above. Check
~/.config/waybar/modulesfor their modules names . i.e.hyprland/workspaces#kanji
- By default, Weather.sh is in use for weather module in waybar and so as data for hyprlock (lockscreen).
- To change between Weather.sh and Weather.py, edit
~/.config/waybar/ModulesCustomlocatecustom/weatherline 15. Remove // on//"exec": "~/.config/hypr/UserScripts/Weather.py",and put // on line"exec": "~/.config/hypr/UserScripts/Weather.sh",. SUPER ALT R to refresh waybar - Weather.sh (Default weather app in waybar) edit

- Using the Dark Light Theme switcher
οin the waybar (beside the calendar in Waybar Default Layout), you can switch your Flatpak apps to set the Dark / Light GTK themes. However, some system flatpak apps may not honor this - work arounds: execute these two commands: in your tty (kitty)
