Unable to set col.active_border from config

[Slime90]

I have tried multiple formatting types for the color (rgb, rgba, etc), and I am unable to set the active border color from the configuration, even though the same color sets successfully with hyprctl.

❯ hyprctl version
Hyprland, built from branch  at commit v0.26.0  ().
Tag: ?

flags: (if any)
debug

General config section (Unsuccessful)

      general {
          # Gaps and border
          gaps_in = 4
          gaps_out = 8
          border_size = 2
          resize_on_border = true
          extend_border_grab_area = 50

          # Fallback colors
          col.active_border=0xFFF6D56A
          col.inactive_border=0x00000000

          # Functionality
          # resize_on_border = true
          layout = dwindle
      }

Setting the same color with hyprctl

hyprctl keyword general:col.active_border 0xFFF6D56A

works perfectly fine.

maybe you give more context, which distro and maybe try building the latest git
and if still persists provide your config

Apologies, I missed a sourced config file with defaults, which resulted in the base config items I set being overridden. Closing.
