My personal Ags/Astal configuration for Hyprland

Warning

I do not recommend actually using this in your configuration as I may change and break things at any moment.

You have been warned, have fun !

Features

A top bar

• Default keybind to open the power menu is $mainMod, m

A wallpaper selector

• Right now, it only works with swww, making it a requierment.
  I plan to change that.
• ffmpegthumbnailer is also requierd for generating thumbnails.
• Wallpapers have to be located in
  ~/Pictures/Wallpapers/images.
• Only one level of sub-directories is supported.

Running

If using Nix, you can simply run the following command to try it without installing

nix run github:PierreBorine/ags-config

Otherwise, you can download the config and execute it just like any other ags config

git clone https://github.com/PierreBorine/ags-config.git
cd ags-config
nix develop # if using Nix
ags run .

Nix Flakes

Add to the inputs

ags-config = {
  url = "github:PierreBorine/ags-config";
  inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};

Home Manager module

For convenience, the flake provides a Home Manager module

{inputs, ...}: {
  imports = [inputs.ags-config.homeManagerModules.default];

  ags-config = {
    # Also installs `pkgs.ags`
    enable = true;

    hyprland = {
      # true by default
      layerrules = true;
      # false by default
      autoStart = true;
      # false by default
      # If you don't like my binds, copy them
      # from `hm.nix` and edit them to your liking.
      binds = true;
    };
  };
}

Tip

If you have an impermanent setup, you should persist $HOME/.cache/astal.

Note

Local vars.ts is ignored by the Nix bundler. Instead, it uses one generated with Nix.

Recommended Hyprland rules

Here are my recommended rules for Hyprland

decoration:blur {
  brightness=0.5
  contrast=0.8
  enabled=true
  noise=0.09
  passes=4
  size=16
  vibrancy=0.8
  vibrancy_darkness=0.8
}

# Included in the Home Manager module
layerrule = blur, ^(astal-)(.*)$
layerrule = ignorezero, ^(astal-)(.*)$
layerrule = animation popin, astal-launcher
layerrule = animation slide right, astal-wallpapers
layerrule = order 1, astal-powerMenu

Other configs I took inspiration and code from
