I did sway before I did i3 😄 I have a chromebook thats literally for fucking about on and I like to try new things on it. Decided to try wayfire and it is cool as heck.

Or have a look at Sway. I3 compatible, but for Wayland.

Ahhh fuck. I waz just starting to understand it. Guess ill fuck about with i3 again.

The Hyprland community is also highly toxic and transphobic, and the dev is ok with it.

If you are a politically progressive person please don't use hyprland, it's supported by and sympathetic to the fascist attempt to take over open source.

The hyprland Dev is close to, and funded by, DHH who is the locus of big tech influence on the internet and software development generally.

for anyone facing the same issue, putting this into my hyprland.conf file seems to have fixed it -

xwayland {
    force_zero_scaling = true
    use_nearest_neighbor = true
}

Video recording:
OBS (specifically the replaybuffer for clips)
(i am using obs-cmd 'cause i never got the global hotkeys to work. idk why)

run it on startup so its ready for clips
exec-once = obs --minimize-to-tray --startreplaybuffer

save replay buffer (it keeps runnig after save)
bind = , F9, exec, obs-cmd replay save

start recording, or stop and save recording if it is already active
bind = , F10, exec, obs-cmd recording toggle

Screenshots:
hyprshot.
(0xff61 is the "print screen" key)

whole (active) monitor
bind = , 0xff61, exec, hyprshot --mode active --mode output --output-folder ~/Pictures/Screenshots

select region (dragged by mouse):
bind = SHIFT, 0xff61, exec, hyprshot --mode region --output-folder ~/Pictures/Screenshots

current (active) window
bind = CTRL, 0xff61, exec, hyprshot --mode active --mode window --output-folder ~/Pictures/Screenshots

I think you want something similar to my setup... I rarely position and focus windows with the mouse.. only for certain apps that don't resize well into my predefined regions. I believe it's somewhat similar to what Rectangle can do on OS/X, although I only stumbled upon that later.

Here's something I put together for the (not-hyperland) compositor LabWC: https://github.com/labwc/labwc/issues/1001 (and have done similar with X11/OpenBox previously) which might serve as explanation and inspiration. Your post inspired me to rebase and clean up the patch, so thanks.

np

i did have issues recently trying to capture from a selection on multiple displays when each display is a different scale factor.... i haven't had time to figure out how to fix that, for now i just capture on my main display only

That works perfect btw thank you.

Very nice

i have this script on a keybind.

uses rofi, slurp and gpu-screen-recorder

modify as needed. i dont remember where i got it from originally

#!/bin/env bash

recorder_check() {
	if pgrep -x "gpu-screen-reco" > /dev/null; then
			pkill -INT -x gpu-screen-reco
			notify-send "Stopping all instances of gpu-screen-recorder" "$(cat /tmp/recording.txt)"
			cat /tmp/recording.txt | wl-copy
			exit 0
	fi
}

recorder_check

case "$SELECTION" in
	"record selection")
		echo "$VID" > /tmp/recording.txt
    # Get selection geometry
    read X Y W H <<< $(slurp -f "%x %y %w %h")

    # Get monitor info (JSON)
    MONITORS=$(hyprctl monitors -j)

    # Find the monitor containing the selection and extract its scale
    SCALE=$(echo "$MONITORS" | jq -r \
      --argjson x "$X" --argjson y "$Y" '
      .[] | select(.x <= $x and .y <= $y and
                   ($x < (.x + .width)) and

OBS

bind screenshot key to execute flameshot full -c

edit: for video I use obs

If you are OK with Discord, then you can join, and there is a channel for showcase of the rices. Often there are also competitions for best rices :) I like to go take a look from time to time :D. Invite link is on their site.

thanks for making the video, i love the color scheme and the window gaps in particular!

i was hoping to avoid having to resort to reddit, but that might be the best library of them in the end, thanks

@felsiq @s4if r/unixporn is good

The way I solve it is having a black background.
