Languages and monitors

Language

The interface speaks Polski, English, Deutsch, Español.

  • Customise desktop (right click the desktop clock) → Appearance → Language, or
  • "lang" in ~/.config/mist/settings.json (auto, pl, en, de, es), or
  • MIST_LANG=en in the environment (wins over the file).

auto follows $LANG and falls back to English. App names in Start and Spotlight follow the language too (Name[xx] of the desktop entries).

Add a language: one more column in native/assets/i18n.tsv (see Development).

Monitors

The dock, island, desktop and weather sky go on Hyprland's first monitor. The top bar and panels go on every monitor (panels open on the focused one). Pick another main monitor with:

{ "primary": "DP-3" }

in ~/.config/mist/settings.json, or MIST_PRIMARY=DP-3. Monitor names: hyprctl monitors.
