nwg-shell Hyprland compatibility

[nwg-piotr]

Most recent answers to all the "does it work on Hyprland" questions:

I first installed Hyprland on March 20th. I took me an evening or two to explore the compositor and read the docs. Then I decided to try and make some or all the nwg-shell components Hyprland-compatible. Here they are in the order I planned the work:

Component	TODO	Progress
nwg-drawer	-	ready OOTB
nwg-menu	-	ready OOTB
nwg-look	-	ready OOTB
utilities	-	ready OOTB
nwg-panel	add HyprlandTaskbar	ready since v0.8.2
Azote	minor adjustments	ready since v1.11.0
nwg-displays	support Hyprland IP C	ready since v0.3.0
nwg-dock-hyprland	new app	ready
nwg-panel	add HyprlandWorkspaces	ready since v0.8.5
nwg-shell-config	write a separate app	under consideration
installer	?	under consideration

Perhaps, in the interim, could you make it possible to build/run nwg-shell-config without anything sway specific? That way I can use the rest of its functionality until a separate app is built.

I'm hesitating between providing specific features depending on the environment, or writing a separate application for Hyprland, and I don't want to do unnecessary work that will take time. This topic will have to wait until nwg-dock is ready. Personally, I don't use it much, but I've had quite a few inquiries about a version that works on Hyprland.

Also, I need to know what's going to work well as the night light. Neither wlsunset, nor gammastep behave well on Hyprland & my hardware. Actually it's one of many issues to resolve.

Hyprland is getting even more popular than sway. So it might be a good idea to write something specific to hyprland. Love your work btw :)

Thank you!

One new thing was inevitable: a new dock. If it comes to the panel, Hyprland-specific modules will do the job. HyprlandTaskbar is ready, HyprlandWorkspaces in progress at the moment. The config utility will most probably require a new app.

Best of luck mate! Wish I could have helped in any way, but I am total noob. Using nwg shell made sway a hell lot easier for me.

Good to know, thanks. That's what it was all about.
