dots-hyprland (tobias fork)

My personal Hyprland dotfiles, based on end-4/dots-hyprland.

What's different from upstream

Bar

• Floating pill style — bar floats with rounded corners, drop shadow, no background fill (cornerStyle: 1)
• Thermal pill — CPU (k10temp hwmon) and GPU (nvidia-smi) temperatures; icons shift color from theme primary → amber → red by temp
• Network speed pill — live ↓/↑ KB/s from /proc/net/dev, green/red arrows
• Cava waveform — audio waveform visualizer in the media pill
• Emoji weather — weather widget shows emoji + temperature
• Colored workspace icons — app icons in workspaces are full color, not monochrome
• 8px inter-pill spacing — more breathing room between all bar segments

Desktop widgets

A fixed widget panel in the top-right corner of the desktop with: Clock, Calendar (with Swedish public holidays), Weather, Media player, Volume, Disk usage, System info, App launcher, Quote of the day.

Lock screen

• Uses Quickshell's built-in lock surface (not hyprlock)

Screen recording

• Switched from wf-recorder to gpu-screen-recorder

Video wallpaper

• Fixed mpvpaper flags: loop-file=inf, video-sync=desync

Hyprland

• Flat mouse acceleration (force_no_accel = true)
• Active window opacity 95%, inactive 90%
• Rainbow color scheme with wallpaper-based theming

Installation

Follow the upstream installation guide first, then overlay my config:

git clone https://github.com/almenscorner/dots

# Quickshell config
cp -r dots/quickshell/ii ~/.config/quickshell/ii

# Hyprland custom overrides
cp -r dots/hypr/custom ~/.config/hypr/custom

# Shell/bar config
cp dots/illogical-impulse/config.json ~/.config/illogical-impulse/config.json

# Scripts
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
cp dots/scripts/hypr-toggle-floating-mode.sh ~/.local/bin/
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/hypr-toggle-floating-mode.sh

Edit bar.weather.city in ~/.config/illogical-impulse/config.json to your city.

Extra dependencies (beyond upstream)

Package	Purpose
gpu-screen-recorder	Screen recording
cava	Audio waveform in bar
nvidia-smi	GPU temperature (NVIDIA)
mpvpaper	Video wallpaper

Configuration

Most settings live in ~/.config/illogical-impulse/config.json. Key options I've changed:

{
  "bar": {
    "cornerStyle": 1,
    "showBackground": false,
    "floatStyleShadow": true,
    "weather": { "city": "YOUR_CITY", "enable": true, "useUSCS": false }
  },
  "appearance": {
    "palette": { "type": "scheme-rainbow" },
    "transparency": { "enable": true }
  },
  "lock": { "useHyprlock": false }
}
