With fade_on_empty=true, a 0.3-alpha inner_color and placeholder_text=$LAYOUT
(which resolves empty under fcitx5), the empty input field faded to nothing —
only the clock rendered and there was no visible way to type the password.
- fade_on_empty = false
- inner_color alpha 0.3 -> 0.6
- static placeholder 'Enter password' instead of $LAYOUT
Also document the graceful emergency unlock (pkill -USR1 hyprlock) in
lock.sh: SIGTERM/SIGKILL on a running lock latches Hyprland's crashed-
lockscreen state, requiring hl.clear_crashed_lockscreen() to recover.
Clarify in hyprlock.conf that the fingerprint auth block is for Chester and
is a no-op on machines without fprintd (e.g. Rutherford).
The Lua conversion had introduced a named 'magic' special workspace on the
SUPER+S keybinding while KeePassXC and the terminal still targeted the default
'special' workspace, splitting them into two separate scratchpads and making
KeePassXC unreachable. Route everything through the single default special
workspace to match the original .conf behavior.
Restore hypridle.conf to the working Chester baseline (Step 1 dim + simple
step-3 resume) keeping our after_sleep_cmd (sleep 2; dpms on). Remove the
orphaned wake-display.sh / unstick-display.sh scripts added upstream for the
multi-GPU black-screen workaround.
require() only needs the module's side effects; the returned value is
ignored by hyprland.lua. Chester.lua and example.lua now match
Rutherford.lua in ending after their config statements.
hyprland.lua now just uses its defaults when no hosts/<hostname>.lua
matches, instead of requiring hosts/example.lua. example.lua is kept only
as a documented template for contributors.
Hyprland loads hyprland.lua (not hyprland.conf) when present, so the
hyprlang configs are dead weight. Delete the Hyprland .conf files and
their gitignored host .conf counterparts, leaving only hypridle.conf and
hyprlock.conf (used by separate tools that still use hyprlang).
Enable misc:key_press_enables_dpms / mouse_move_enables_dpms so the
compositor re-enables the display on input when hypridle's after-sleep
dpms-on races with GPU resume. Also delay after_sleep_cmd dpms-on by 2s.
Fixes black Hyprland VT after wake while kernel console stays visible.
dim creates a wlr-layer-shell surface that Hyprland never cleans up
when the process exits — leaves an opaque full-screen overlay (pid=-1)
covering the entire display until the layer tree is rebuilt.
Removing step 1 (dim) from hypridle prevents future occurrences.
unstick-display.sh now restarts waybar to force a layer tree rebuild
as a recovery measure.
Both scripts used ls | head -1 to find the socket, which picks the wrong
(dead) session when old socket dirs linger. Now iterates over all sockets
and picks the one that actually responds.
- AQ_DRM_DEVICES=/dev/dri/card0 forces Aquamarine to use only the
Intel iGPU, avoiding EGL_BAD_MATCH errors from the NVIDIA RTX 3060
after VT/DPMS cycles (page-flip lockups, black display)
- lock.sh: guard against duplicate hyprlock instances (second instance
steals surfaces, leaves screen black)
- lid-close.sh: same guard for laptop
- wake-display.sh: conditional DPMS cycle (only when display is off)
to restore hyprlock surfaces without flicker
- unstick-display.sh: emergency recovery script for tty3
Logging in via a bare Hyprland session never activates
graphical-session.target, so the systemd xdg-desktop-portal units can't
start. The old script worked around this by killing and relaunching the
portals manually, but that delayed the portal past waybar/chromium
startup, so they intermittently came up in light mode.
Switch to the "Hyprland (uwsm-managed)" session: uwsm activates
graphical-session.target and systemd starts the portals in the right
order. The startup script now detects that target and bows out, falling
back to the manual launch only on a bare session (e.g. another machine
without uwsm). Document uwsm in the README.

Adds a "Mirror Display" entry that calls a helper script which finds
the first connected non-internal monitor and toggles mirroring of
eDP-1 onto it via hyprctl. Use case: plugging into a conference room
TV/projector while travelling.
Also fixes the menu's "Screenshot full" entry to capture the active
output instead of the hardcoded DP-1, matching the equivalent fix to
the Ctrl+Print keybind.

Ctrl+Print was tied to DP-1, so it failed on the laptop alone or with
a different external. Using -m active picks the currently focused
output, so the same bind works on any host.

Move FIFO setup and percentage emission into helper scripts so the
Hyprland config has no raw $VAR references — Hyprland's parser
substitutes $varname at parse time, which mangled awk's $2 and
$HYPRLAND_INSTANCE_SIGNATURE and left binds broken after reload.

- Add lid-close.sh: starts hyprlock in background and immediately cuts
the display via dpms off, so the display is dark while hyprlock renders
- William.conf: bind lid close to lid-close.sh; bind lid open to kill dim
and turn display back on
- lock.sh: pass --no-fade-in to hyprlock
- hyprlock.conf: disable fadeOut animation
- hypridle.conf: add inhibit_sleep = 3 and use loginctl lock-session
For the Shift+SUPER custom menu I wanted to be able to add some
copy and paste things which I don't want to have everywhere
especially not uploaded and stored in git.
Now it's possible to have a aditional menu-{hostname}.list
where you can put extra things for this specific host. I added
there things like:
Phone=echo "012345678" | wl-copy
because I often need this specific phone number and don't want to need
to start the Contacts app and search for the number and copy it.
I'm planning to add more host specific things.
I didn't like that if I pressed SUPER accidentally, I had to press
ESC which is somewhere compleatly different on the keyboard. This
way it's much easier to close tofi.
Sometimes I don't want the computer to go to sleep bacause I'm
running something in the background. for that I always used
systemd-inhibit sleep 999999 manually on the terminal, but I want
it to be easy to use without remembering the whole command every
time.
Therefor I added a custom button to waybar which does that for me.
Also to start it, for some reason it needs to be killed and
there needs to be a sleep, etc. to avoid some race conditions.
Therefor I added this weird shell script to start it.
Somehow it was annoying to have both rofi menus on the same key
because they did not open in the same order every time
so I had to read and look which one has opened this time
before I could start searching for what I was looking for.
When I have a Picture-in-Picture video I like to open it and float
it on top of everything so it's always visible. But when it becomes
inactive the background shines through like with all other inactive
windows. This patch makes the opacity to 1.0 so the background doesn't
shine through and it's easier to watch the video.
It felt always random where a new window would be opened, turns
out it was set to smart_split so it would check where tho mouse
cursor is and split to that side.
With this change it will always open right/bottom.
