[BUG] Config errors with Hyprland v0.51.0 (Gestures - Bordersize)

[sanecodeguy]

Description

HyDE configs fail to load on Hyprland v0.51.0 due to deprecated/renamed options (border_size, no_border_on_floating, gestures:workspace_swipe). This breaks default userprefs and gestures until manually fixed.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install HyDE on Arch Linux.
2. Update Hyprland to v0.51.0.
3. Run Hyprland or reload configs.
4. Errors appear above waybar
5. config option <border_size> does not exist
6. config option <no_border_on_floating> does not exist
7. config option gestures:workspace_swipe does not exist

Expected Behavior

• Hyde config should load without errors on Hyprland v0.51.0
• Gestures and borders should apply correctly using Hyde defaults

Actual Behavior

• Hyprland throws config errors:
• config option <border_size> does not exist
• config option <no_border_on_floating> does not exist
• Gestures fail to work - Requires keybindings to traverse workspaces.

Screenshots

No response

Environment

hyprland_systeminfo.txt

no flags were set

Additional Information

Replacing the old keys fixes the issue:

border_size = 2                    #  removed in v0.51.0
no_border_on_floating = true

New equivalent:

general {
    col.active_border = rgb(89b4fa)
    col.inactive_border = rgb(585b70)
}

gestures {
    workspace_swipe = true   #  works in v0.51.0
}

I am using git and I never got this error. when was this introduces in hyprland?

And also which files has this config that you changed?

[kRHYME7]

Also by default nothing is being set except for the natural scroll

try to update HyDE then.

hyde-shell version should provide you insights.

[sanecodeguy]

YES i realized that the border size was my own preference tho the gestures were configured by default.
This is what i got when hyprland updated

commenting

# gestures {
#     workspace_swipe = true
# }

in ~/.config/hypr/userprefs.conf

and replacing

gestures {
    #See https://wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Variables/#gestures
    workspace_swipe = true
}

in ~/.local/share/hypr/defaults.conf

with the potentially new syntax worked :

gestures {
    gesture = 3, horizontal, workspace   # 3-finger swipe left/right switches workspaces
}

However, right now i am unable to select a tiling window (super+z) , then swiped to another workspace (using 3 finger gesture)
and moving it there. This was previously working before the hyprland update.

i also never updated hyde, installed arch and hyde around 20 days ago (new system), tho going to pull the latest script, hopefully it works.

[kRHYME7]

Please pull latest . It should fix that.

Thank You. Errors were gone and i had no issues with gestures. However was unable to float a window and simultaneously move it to a workspace using gesture ( super+z & gesture = 3, horizontal, workspace )

i added

gesture = 4, left,  dispatcher, movetoworkspace, e-1
gesture = 4, right, dispatcher, movetoworkspace, e+1

to the defaults.conf instead as its relatively easier for me this way. Thanks for your help.

Closing this issue.

@sanecodeguy please add it in your userprefs.conf

I do not know if it is available in latest hyprland but you can unset the gesture.

In defaults.conf which will be overwritten on updates

 # Because of https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/pull/11490 we need to set our gestures explicitly
gesture = 3, horizontal, unset # unsets the default horizontal gesture
gesture = 3, vertical, workspace

I suggest don't change something in those files. This way issues are reproducible.

In your userprefs.conf

gesture = 4, left, unset
gesture = 4, right, unset
gesture = 4, left,  dispatcher, movetoworkspace, e-1
gesture = 4, right, dispatcher, movetoworkspace, e+1

More info on how the unset keyword.

[sanecodeguy]

TY for the update , using the unset keyword in userprefs.conf issues me the following :

i have commented out the unset commands and am just using the dispatcher

[kRHYME7]

I see so the unset is not yet in hyprland release.
