nwg-shell-config 0.5.14

• added combo to choose the dock layer; related to nwg-piotr/nwg-dock-hyprland#12.

nwg-shell-config 0.5.13

This update adds the 'Run with GTK_THEME=' check button to the 'App drawer' tab. If checked, nwg-shell-config will add the -ft argument to the nwg-drawer command in the ~/.config/hypr/includes.conf file, e.g.:

exec = nwg-drawer -r -c 6 -is 64 -fscol 2 -s hyprland-0.css -term foot -ft

In result, while running apps, the drawer will add the GTK_THEME=<default-gtk-theme> environment variable to the command, to make libadwaita/gtk4 apps follow the current theme.

Note: the theme needs to be GTK4-compatible.

Note: nwg-drawer>=0.3.9 required.

nwg-shell-config 0.5.12

Added support for a selection from Hyprland misc settings.

# MISC SETTINGS
misc {
    disable_hyprland_logo = false
    vrr = 0
    mouse_move_enables_dpms = false
    key_press_enables_dpms = false
    layers_hog_keyboard_focus = true
    focus_on_activate = false
    hide_cursor_on_touch = true
    mouse_move_focuses_monitor = true
    cursor_zoom_factor = 1.0
}

nwg-shell-config 0.5.11

• Hot fix: added missing "dwindle-smart_split" key in default settings.

nwg-shell-config 0.5.10

Added switch for dwindle smart_split (new in Hyprland 0.27.0).

smart_split allows a more precise control over the window split direction, based on the cursor position. The window is conceptually divided into four triangles, and cursors triangle determines the split direction. This feature also turns on preserve_split.

nwg-shell-config 0.5.9

• [sway] added missing "dock-startup-delay" default value.

nwg-shell-config 0.5.8

• Fixed notification center reload on Hyprland;
• fixed help window content on Hyprland.

To have Hyprland help fixed, delete the ~/.local/share/nwg-shell-config/help-hyprland.pango file. It'll be re-created w/ proper content.

nwg-shell-config 0.5.7

Added -s | --save argument. If set, the program will read current settings, export the ~/.config/hypr/includes.conf file and die. This is for use with external scripts. See: https://www.reddit.com/r/nwg_shell/comments/14by0by/request_keyboard_layout_switching.

Sample nwg-panel executor:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

# nwg-panel executor to display keyboard layout and switch it with `nwg-shell-config -s` command
# 1. Save anywhere on $PATH as e.g. `kb-layout-hyprland` file.
# 2. Enter `kb-layout-hyprland` in the executor "Script" field.
# 3. Enter `kb-layout-hyprland -s` in the executor "On left clock" field.

import os
import sys
import json
import subprocess

# We need to change the "input-kb_layout" value in the "settings-hyprland" json file.
settings_file = os.path.join(os.getenv("HOME"), ".local/share/nwg-shell-config/settings-hyprland")


def main():
    # load settings-hyprland to a dictionary
    try:
        with open(settings_file, 'r') as f:
            settings = json.load(f)
    except Exception as e:
        print("Error loading json: {}".format(e))
        sys.exit(1)

    if len(sys.argv) > 1 and sys.argv[1] == "-s":  # argument `-s` given
        # switch keyboard layout in the dictionary
        settings["input-kb_layout"] = "pl" if settings["input-kb_layout"] == "us" else "us"
        # save to the json file
        with open(settings_file, 'w') as f:
            json.dump(settings, f, indent=2, ensure_ascii=True)

        # run `nwg-shell-config -s` to export settings to ~/.config/hypr/includes
        subprocess.Popen("nwg-shell-config -s", shell=True)

    # executor output in 2 lines (icon + text)
    print("input-keyboard")             # icon name
    print(settings["input-kb_layout"])  # current layout


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
