Jeena 4c497ed538 fix(hyprlock): make input field always visible
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).

Jeena's Hyprland setup

This git repo hosts all the dotfiles I need for my hyprland setup. You can use it to learn and to copy from it, but you probably don't want to just use it as it is because it's very opinionated and hard coded.

If you want a readymade one then I'd suggest https://omarchy.org/

Introduction Video

Jeena's Hyprland Demo

Screenshots

Hyprlock lockscreen with custom font and showing keyboard layout

Empty hyprland screen

Firefox and Kitty side by side, no margin on the outside

If only one window is visible, border is removed

Tofi as app menu

nmtui to edit network and tofi to choose I/O audio devices

Install

You need to clone this git repository to your computer, let's assume you do:

mkdir -p ~/Projects/
cd ~/Projects/
git clone https://git.jeena.net/jeena/hypr-dotfiles.git

The next step is to set up a hostname config where you can overwrite hyprland configs for a specific host:

cd ~/Projects/hypr-dotfiles/hypr/hosts/
touch $(hostname).conf
ln -s $(hostname).conf host.conf

Then you need to soft link the directories in this git repo to the ~/.config/ directory, make sure that those directories don't exist yet in your ~/.config, you will need to delete or move them before. In our example it would be:

cd ~/.config
ln -s ~/Projects/hypr-dotfiles/hypr hypr
ln -s ~/Projects/hypr-dotfiles/waybar waybar
ln -s ~/Projects/hypr-dotfiles/tofi tofi
ln -s ~/Projects/hypr-dotfiles/wlogout wlogout
ln -s ~/Projects/hypr-dotfiles/kitty kitty
ln -s ~/Projects/hypr-dotfiles/helix helix
ln -s ~/Projects/hypr-dotfiles/fcitx5 fcitx5

To enable the auto-mute/unmute timers (mutes at 21:00, unmutes at 07:00, only when idle-inhibit is active), link the systemd user units:

systemctl --user link ~/Projects/hypr-dotfiles/systemd/user/auto-mute.service
systemctl --user link ~/Projects/hypr-dotfiles/systemd/user/auto-mute.timer
systemctl --user link ~/Projects/hypr-dotfiles/systemd/user/auto-unmute.service
systemctl --user link ~/Projects/hypr-dotfiles/systemd/user/auto-unmute.timer
systemctl --user enable --now auto-mute.timer auto-unmute.timer

You also need to install all the dependencies:

  • hyprland
  • hypridle
  • hyprlock
  • wlogout
  • tofi
  • waybar
  • swaybg
  • nmtui
  • kitty
  • python3
  • Curved Square font https://www.1001freefonts.com/curved-square.font
  • FontAwesome
  • ttf-jetbrains-mono-nerd (required for waybar icons)
  • xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland
  • xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
  • uwsm (recommended; log in via the "Hyprland (uwsm-managed)" session so systemd starts the portals before the autostart apps — otherwise apps like waybar and chromium intermittently come up in light mode. Without uwsm the portal startup script falls back to launching the portals manually.)
  • fcitx5
  • fcitx5-hangul

There are probably more, I will update the list next time I'm installing it on a new computer.
