Installation

These configs are meant for reference/inspiration. To use:

1. Back up your existing configs
2. Choose hypr/desktop or hypr/laptop and copy its contents to ~/.config/hypr/. Same for waybar/desktop or waybar/laptop → ~/.config/waybar/.
3. Copy rofi/ to ~/.config/rofi/ and rofi/themes/ to ~/.local/share/rofi/themes/ so the default theme (teal-cyan-dark) loads. Edit config.rasi to @theme "~/.local/share/rofi/themes/cyan-mount.rasi" if you prefer the cyan-mount theme. Copy other dirs (swaync, kitty, etc.) to the paths your apps expect.
4. Hyprland alttab: Configs reference ~/.config/hypr/plugins/alttab.so. Install the alttab plugin there (AUR: hyprland-alttab) or adjust the plugin = line in hyprland.conf.
5. Adjust monitor names, keybinds, and app choices for your system.

Adoption notes (keybinds & autostart)

use your own launcher or remove binds if you don't want these

Copy local-bin/ into ~/.local/bin/ and run chmod +x ~/.local/bin/*. The Hyprland config expects:

Script	Used for	If Missing
start-polkit.sh	Polkit agent (e.g. NM auth prompts)	Auth dialogs may not show
start-keyring.sh	GNOME Keyring for secrets	App passwords may not unlock
kill-app	SUPER+SHIFT+Q (force-close)	Bind does nothing
screenrec-menu	SUPER+SHIFT+R (record), waybar screenrec button	Bind/button does nothing
open-url-focus	(used by some keybinds/helpers)	Browser doesn't focus to active window onClick

Optional wrappers not included (change keybinds if you don't use them): discord-wayland, slack-xwayland, zoom-xwayland, cursor, notion-xwayland.

• Logout: Uses command -v hyprshutdown ... && hyprshutdown || hyprctl dispatch exit (AUR hyprshutdown if installed, else hyprctl dispatch exit).
• Clipboard: Keybind SUPER+H uses cliphist (install and run the exec-once wl-paste lines from hyprland.conf).
• Extra deps: grim, slurp, jq, playerctl, brightnessctl, gsimplecal, nwg-menu, nwg-drawer (see waybar/rofi).

Theme

• Color Scheme: Custom 1984-dark variant
• Editor Theme: Modified Radical
• Fonts: Hasklug Nerd Font (editors), Hack Nerd Font (UI)
