I have sfwbar at the top, which is set up to show the current window title. Window borders are set to have very slight rounding. Also, unfocused windows have a slightly lower opacity.

[tomysurya]

hey can you share your sfwbar config? thanks!

[FreeFull]

@tomysurya
Sure, here you go:
sfwbar.config.txt

[tomysurya]

great! thanks

[YaLTeR]

To celebrate the newly added rounded corners.

Real niri development on the main monitor:

Some notes:

• Bar: Waybar
• Font: Iosevka Term Medium
• Workspace-relative gradient borders are quite good for this wallpaper due to a bright spot in the top-right

[mohamad-supangat]

sebelumnya saya mengucapkan terimakasih atas kerja kerasnya di niri, i love it and migrasikan semuanya dari swayfx ke niri selama 1 minggu yang lalu di arch linux,

dapatkah kamu membagikan bagaimana cara menggunkanya di fedora silver blue ?

[qubixq]

This customization looks great. It looks like it will be very helpful for my first experience with Niri.
Thank you.

Sorry to bother you, what is your file manager? I'm using Dophin but I have black folder/files names on dark background and in general a light theme in all kde apps on Niri. I don't get how to apply (kde) theme in Niri too. Can you/someone give a tip to me? Thanks!

[throwaway-nolsh]

that looks an awful lot like pcmanfm, i use it too and its pretty nice, gets the job done

it's just pcmanfm

Can i get your yambar and lava launcher config?

[truedat101]

Inspired. This looks great.

config at github:sodiboo/nix-config#fa49f90 but watch out for the build error (nom output in screenshot is dependent on the system not building; actually just set the wallpaper to firewatch-wide for the active config)

[Geek1405]

Hey out of sheer curiosity, how did you get niri working on void, I tried, not very hard admittedly, but I tried and couldn't figure it out.

[throwaway-nolsh]

i just managed to do it, follow the building guide, you can look for the package names with xbps

[zilti]

Where did you get that beautiful background?

[theNoof]

yea mind sharing the wallpaper?

Niri on the development version of EndeavourOS with a couple of bars :) and the EOS Sway config: https://github.com/EndeavourOS-Community-Editions/sway

[nebulosa2007]

Niri, waybar (2 panels), some gnome apps, fuzzel

[cptn-cosmo]

Do you have the config for the bars? 👀

[nebulosa2007]

Sure! Here the link
All modules/custom scripts to waybar is here

And all others config related my Niri setup. Please use attached README file

[binamralamsal]

Just installed today.

[devxan]

What are you using for your bar stuff, @binamralamsal?

[greed-d]

looks like waybar

[ChemistCoder90]

dot file please?

[moilong]

window-open and window-close custom-shader in niri v0.1.6.
Thanks to @YaLTeR and @algernon .

niri_animations.mp4

config: https://gitlab.com/sharkler/sharkler-dots/-/blob/main/.config/niri/config.kdl?ref_type=heads

[DekuD2]

The window-close animation is just sublime! I am gonna use it in my setup :)

[vollowx]

2024-06-02.00-56-38.mp4

Conf

Thinner vertical waybar, rounded corners and global theme switching, even applied to Neovim!

Without the delay of some GTK apps, the theme switching animation would be perfect yet I don't want to delay the whole animation to wait for them

[vollowx]

Oh, that's quite nice! How do you get nvim to change colorscheme?

By several scripts: setbg, setcolor and some config in Neovim. The setbg corresponds to the background option in Neovim, while setcolor corresponds to :colorscheme .... Furthermore, you also need to modify the GTK themes that will be applied to adopt these script.

Basically copied from Bekaboo/dot and Bekaboo/nvim

[YaLTeR]

Thanks, this is what I've been looking for:

nvim --clean --headless --server "$sock" --remote-send "<Cmd>if &bg !=# '$1' | let g:script_set_bg=1 | set bg=$1 | unlet g:script_set_bg | endif<CR>" +'qa!' 2>/dev/null

[vollowx]

Yep, that's enough for the basic functionality

[scientiac]

@vollowx What is that launcher? How do I set it up like that?

[vollowx]

That's anyrun following the adw-gtk3 theme (hope the late reply still helps)

[Suya1671]

the semi-productive setup™
https://github.com/Suyashtnt/commafiles/

[ChrisW-B]

@solitudealma I think that’s the https://github.com/nushell/nushell built in ls command

[solitudealma]

@solitudealma I think that’s the https://github.com/nushell/nushell built in ls command

That's a shame, this is so pretty

[Suya1671]

It is indeed nushell

[subnut]

What's the music app?

[Flatbread1]

Warframe OST, based. Also, that music app appears to just be Spicetify with a theme. (feel free to correct me on that if it isn't spicetify)

[brainlessbitch]

I love niri :3

[SomeRandoLameo]

Do you still have the dots? I am very interested in them :D

[augustebaum]

Also interested, it looks reaally slick!

[Rastizakia]

can u share the ags config :3

[phuhl]

I would also love to see those ags config files :)

[OsicKwon]

What is the awesome clock?

[liakadmon]

I'm just using Noctalia but I think it's useful and pretty 🤷‍♀️
Color scheme is Eldritch, prompt is a slightly-modified Starship preset. On my second monitor I keep a Kitty panel with rmpc, btop, and fastfetch (for the screenshots, duh) and a second tab split between yazi and podman-tui.

[valpackett]

Noctalia v5 (no quickshell!). "Not even alpha yet" but it's already incredibly complete!

[HigherOrderLogic]

May I ask what is that terminal emulator?

[greed-d]

looks like zed editor's terminal

[valpackett]

Yeah, gram-editor == Gram, a fork of Zed

[jR4dh3y]

what is that resource monitor app ?

[krovuxdev]

Mission Center?

[WladimirKowtun]

Just Niri, Waybar and Wofi. Still under construction. But this is how it goes...

I just have a few days on Niri, but am sure it will be my new home for a long time.

Thanks a lot for building this amazing WM! 💛

[mindhatch]

• niri
• noctalia v5
• concord
• yazi
• rmpc
• meowfetch
• helix

themes were customized by hand. auto-theme generation was not used. p much all apps i use on a daily basis have been themed but aren't pictured here :p

realllly enjoying using this whole set up. it's surprisingly light on an older 2017 macbook retina 12

dotfiles at this point in time - as well as additional screenshots (including btop, equibop/vesktop/etc, custom helium start page/new tab page, vscode, obsidian)

[BaboonK]

awesome

[zararashigal]

[bitterhalt]

My current setup. I like to keep it simple, fast, and keyboard-driven, so no fancy shells this time.

Using iNiR and Kwybars, some icons from macOSicons, and Natsumi Browser

Wallpaper - Overlay

[sp3Qc]

Minimal setup:

• Niri started via CLI on-login script (no other components like display/login manager)
• Ironbar
• Void Linux
• • No systemd/systemctl
• • Nitro init
• GPU showing 115W in standby mode, goes to 140W when in demanding game.
• Performance is god level!

Still working on adjusting CPU frequency in linux to fix random boosting

[jR4dh3y]

nice liquid glass

[zararashigal]

Hai YaLTeR! :3c Did i rizz?

[greed-d]

Is that AGS?

[zararashigal]

Is that AGS?

Noh, is waybar, Niri and kitty.
Applications are neo_matrix, spotify_player and cava! I use catppuccin as a theme.
EDIT: It wasn't genact in this screenshot, the leftmost terminal is neo_matrix, yus.

[eXsoR65]

Fedora 44 with niri + dms

Tophat is my opinionated fedora minimal niri setup script. Go from a Fedora minimal install to a full niri experience.

Minimal setup i guess

Shading looks good on your bar.

Was previously using Noctalia V4+Vicinae but did not want to use V5 and did not see any good forks.
