This might be the last release where Wallust is used as a color-palette generator. Lately I found an issue but I could find a work around. More on it below
Originally, I was gonna wait for new waybar 0.11.0 to be released to public but my initial test, its all still fine :)
I am releasing this dots as I will gonna work on moving to matugen do ditch wallust. Lately I found out that for "modified wallpaper" by imagemagick, wallust give "Error: Image should at least have two different pixel colors." The F was that? for a black and white wallpaper there is white and black.. oh of course grey color....
This week, I have concentrated on tweaking my Distro-Hyprland install scripts project. Thanks to @dwilliam62 for all the critics and ideas :)
Anyway, I am proud to present my Distro Hyprland install-scripts are all now tweaked :) These Distro-Hyprland install scripts will now check for the essential packages to be checked at the end of installation, which can be defined of course :), are installed to have Hyprland and of course KooL's Dots up and running nicely :)
Unfortunately, I could'nt tweak more the Ubuntu-Hyprland 24.04 because Ubuntu will NOT backport packages into it, so as usual, not so much changes everything have to be build from source. Dont worry, Ubuntu 24.10-Hyprland install script is ready for it, which is better in terms as most of the packages are now being pulled from Ubuntu universe Repo. Most notable change was nwg-look, which was originally offered as optional are now in Debian Trixie and SID and Ubuntu 24.10 Universe repo. Fedora-Hyprland will also now pull from a copr repo. This nwg-look building has now been significantly reduced!
Anyway, looking forward in the future here are plans so far:
- Moving away from Wallust to Matugen. Unless you have a better option, please let me know..
- After matugen maybe I will port Hyprpanel by Jas Singh
BUT.................. I will be travelling again soon so dont expect much though.. Anyway, I will allocate perhaps an hour everyday for the update.
Final notes: I would like to thank all for the contributions. PR's or MR's, ideas, bug reports via github and discord.
Changes / Updates:
- Separated waybar workspaces modules to "shorten" a bit the main waybar modules file
- some wallust templates updates
- workspaces animation now enabled.
- rofi compact.rasi enabled scroll bar by default
- waybar module inihibitor have now tooltip. However, custom-hypridle module still there for killing hypridle instead
- new default wallpaper
- wlogout script minor tweak
- explicit sync will not be disabled anymore if nvidia is detected
- env = GDK_SCALE,1 will be enabled by default
fixes from issues:
- updated swaync icon disappearing
issue #435
MR's
- AGS overview respect monitor scale. Huge Thanks to @threehymns
MR #434
Decide to release a new dots version cause I will state on the release which version of Hyprland would be.
This would be alot easier for me which Dots version for Debian and Ubuntu I would assign in the future, in which btw, at the time of writing, they are still on Hyprland v0.41.2.. Im guessing they are having hard time to adopt aquamarine.. (perhaps)
Well not so much changes here. Only a couple of fixes
Changes / Updates:
- added org.mozilla.firefox into waybar module workspaces#rw since fedora decided to name it like that (phew)
- minor waybar [TOP]-minimal - Long tweak
- added keep aspect ration for PIP window rule
fixes from issues:
- updated switchkeyboard layout issue #422
Alright folks, I was actually waiting for Vaxry to release a new Hyprland but Im guessing himself and his team are just busy squashing bugs.
Anyway, these are just minor tweaks. bug fixes, etc.
The only "major" change is a new rofi menu layout, in which, you should be able to check out the design via change logs.
Changes / Updates:
- animations: - Smoother animation
- Decoration and Animations are on different file (UserDecorAnimations.conf)
- fix cycle window when on group mode
- minor update rofi-beats
- disabled rainbow colors in inactive window. Rainbow colors only appears on active or focused window

Since Vaxry released new Hyprland version, v0.41.2
I am bumping the released version as well.
Ideally, a new version bump higher would indicate a huge changes. But, due to that fact that Hyprland >v0.40 have huge changes, I think it is also right to follow through
I can see Arch and Fedora have now updated their hyprland, only thing left now is OpenSuse TW. However, I believe it will follow soon
Anyway, most of the changes is just for new Hyprland v0.41.2 . Nothing really major changes here I have been busy as well for the past almost 3 weeks already so only small tweaks have made
With the release of much awaited Hyprland v0.41.0, I am releasing this version for just two main reasons
-
- This version will serve as latest compatible Hyprland Dots / configurations for Ubuntu 24.04, so this might be the end of it for Ubuntu 24.04
-
- This version will serve as "rest area" Dots for Debian Trixie. Explanation will be below
-
With the release of Hyprland v0.41.0, there are lots of changes in the settings in which older Hyprland versions are not compatible. ie, nvidia dropping env's for cursor, settings on hyprcursor etc etc etc
-
For Ubuntu, this will be a likely event because Ubuntu Repo has old version of wayland-protocols in which Hyprland >v0.39 wont build
-
a "rest area" for Debian Trixie because Hyprland V0.41.0 requires xcb-errors and xcb-errors are only available in Debian SID. I maybe create a separate branch on Debian-Hyprland repo for Debian SID but this is just my plan for now...
-
By the way, I am also disabling Pyprland for Debian and Ubuntu - It just not working well. Pyprland still installed by default but I just disabled through Startup_Apps.conf
Anyway, Diving to changes
- not much, this is just more like a "tweaks" release
- Added mp4 support for Rofi Beats
- waybar style tweaks
- Added a kill PID (SUPER SHIFT Q) - this kills the active window
- Added a variable for the QuickEdit.sh (SUPER E) to easily change a default editor. By default still nano
- Kitty terminal background is now included in the dark-light theme switcher. (need to close and open kitty to take effect)
- copy.sh behaviour change. More robust for (unset) keyboard layout. NixOS set up properly (Polkit) :)
- Updated Touchpad disabling script and configs
- Update rofi beats to select user's choice thanks to @dazWiLLiE
- Disable pyprland for Debian/ubuntu. This is via checking if dpkg is present
- On Next release, I will concentrate on tweaking the Hyprland Settings. So this could be the end of version 2 of KooL's Hyprland-Dots.
- And as always, take care always. Love from 🇰🇷 & 🇵🇭 :)

v2.2.13-1 HOTFIX!
-automatic wallpaper now disabled by default. you can still enable it by editing ~/.config/hypr/UserConfigs/Startup_Apps.conf -added mp4 for rofi-beats -return of env = WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS,1 for nvidia as it seems to only applied to hyprland-git or newer than hyprland v0.40.0
And so the tweaking never ends :)
- On this release, its mostly tweaking with a great addition called Wallpaper Effects which I will mention at the end. You need to Imagemagick v7 or newer
- some updates on WindowRules.conf
- updated media keybinds so will still work even lockscreen is active
- Change backup behaviour of copy.sh to prevent creating multiple backups for wallpapers. Right now will just overwrite ~/Pictures/wallpapers. Huge thanks to @Ddubs for this heads up.
- remove WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS for nvidia (deprecated) - See
NVIDIA- option still there and will activate if VM detected. - added cursor section on Hyprland Settings
~/.config/hypr/UserConfigs/UserSettings.conf - added hyprcursor support through cursor section above
Note
cursor and hyprcursor only for Hyprland v0.41.0 and newer
- added GDK_scale on ENVariables.conf (disabled by default. Useful for those who use monitor-scaling)
- added waybar style - Wallust Box style
- corrected waybar module hyprland/workspaces#rw to not show special
- copy.sh; wallpaper wont be backup anymore but rather just overwrite existing wallpapers
- added error sound if screenshot is not saved
- Added wallpaper effects. Inspired from ML4W - Super Shift W keybind. Below are some samples.
- More wallpaper effects contributed. Thanks to @S4NKALP
- Inspiration comes from Stephan Raabe (ML4W) on his recent hyprland video release. So quickly peak into his dots, have gone through on Imagemagick command line tools, and implemented it
- Oh and the initial wallpaper was one of the effects :) (Edge Detect)
- To launch the wallpaper effects options (SUPER Shift W)
- This cool effects requires Imagemagick 7. Debian and Ubuntu users, you need to update your ImageMagick software. I have already edited the Debian-Hyprland and Ubuntu-Hyprland so you just need to download and install using this procedure
- After updating repo. cd Debian or Ubuntu - Hyprland. execute this command
./install-scripts/imagemagick.sh. Again DO NOT CD in install-scripts. You can also just ran the ./install.sh instead once Debian and Ubuntu Hyprland folders are updated.
- As always, I would like to thank all those who have tested and contributed.
- Take care always. Love from 🇰🇷 & 🇵🇭 :)

Hello its me again, always poking around stuff and so...
- This release is not so much changes as it seems. Mostly are just some bug fixes, tweaking, etc etc..
- I'd Like to thank @SherLock707 & @JohnRTitor who actively contributing to this project.
- I'd like to thank @darkeddie for fixing the Rofi-Beats to play local music and able to shuffle it. And of course for submitting all those beautiful screenshots of the waybar styles. Please check out on the Gallery
LINK
-
Dwindle Layout is now default. Actually as per voting from the Discord, master config is 1 vote higher than dwindle. However, since release of v2.2.11, I start to use dwindle layout. And actually, its not bad... of course you can always change the default layout via
~/.config/hypr/UserConfigs/UserSettings.conf. Of course the temporary layout of change layout via keybindCTRL ALT Lis still there. -
Waybar configs and styles (some) are tweaked. Added New Config (TOP - Simple) and [Wallust-Bordered] Chroma Simple Style. Added workspace#rw on waybar module bank.
-
Introducing group waybar modules and added power-profiles-daemon. Nope that installation of power-profiles-daemon will be ONLY offered to asus laptops.
Note
I cant add to all since it conflicts with TLP, CPU-Auto-frequency etc.
-
Rofi beats can now play shuffle local music. Thanks to @darkeddie
-
Change on the wallpaper menu, which can now detect the wallpapers inside wallpapers directory i.e. Dynamic Wallpapers. Animation changes to "any" swww mode instead of just slide
-
some updates on WindowRules.conf
-
some hyprland animation and settings changes. default blur increased to 6 from 5
-
Rofi configs tweaked / cleaned up
-
switching keyboard layout fixed. Thanks to @vailrahmatulin . Note, the keybind was changed as well. See new keybinds in ~/.config/hypr/UserConfigs/UserKeybinds.conf. Obviously this is only for multiple kb layout users
-
small tweak of AGS Overview. Goodbye xrandr :) Huge Thanks to @SherLock707
-
added Rofi-Calc - Based on qalculate-gtk. Thanks to @JosephArmas. Note that I moved the keybinds and script to UserConfigs and UserScripts.
-
added fastfetch config. Note, Debian / Ubuntu users, you need to download and install from Fastfetch github page
-
added a compact fastfetch config. Thanks to @JohnRTitor. Can invoke the compact config by
fastfetch --config ~/.config/fastfetch/config-compact.jsoncor can bealias cfastfetch="fastfetch --config ~/.config/fastfetch/config-compact.jsonc"on your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
Note
Even fastfetch is included on the installation, I have not set to add on ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc
- You maybe notice in your first boot of course new default waybar style and wallpaper. This will be like a trend I will start. New release new waybar style new wallpaper.. As usual, you can always change it using waybar style & configs menu :)
as per voting on Discord, I will keep the rainbow borders on by default. :)
- Oh I almost forgot, I set a new GTK dark theme (again).. I found that Andromeda GTK theme looks better than brownish-greyish WhiteSur-Dark . Here is the
LINKto the new GTK theme
- alot of times I have been asked about this. Please see this
WIKI - But the easiest is to re-download the Distro-Hyprland install scripts and re-ran. As this will cover everything..
- If you are using v2.2.11, you can ran the
upgrade.sh. and of course install the GTK-themes and icons above If you are using v2.2.10 and older, you need to download and rerun the Distro-Hyprland Install scripts again. This is because your dots will not work properly as there are changes especially from v2.2.11 where I moved the color-palette generation from pywal to wallust. Please see the release notes for v2.2.10
- Well, just want to say thanks to all. For all the supports. For those who have tested and kept in touch on Discord. Kindly join my Discord for faster communication.

This is just basically a small hotfix and quick fix
Adjusted some wallust colors for some waybar styles and swaync wallust backends switched to kmeans. It looks alot better added in the Keyhints for AGS Overview (Desktop Overview) startup for swww is fixed..
So after a week of poking around new things, I now present to you v2.2.11 :)
- Have now move to wallust. You need v3 of wallust. V2.10 and older wont work. For Arch users, you can just install wallust-git from AUR. Other Distro, compile and install the wallust dev branch
- Im setting a new GTK Themes and Icons.
LINK. Not really a breaking changes but the automatic install copy for this dots, it was set to initially boot with these new GTK themes and icons. You dont have to install it. After boot, you will just have to reset your GTK themes and icons using nwg-look or anything you prefer. Or you can switch to Dark / Light theme and it should apply your previous GTK themes
Naturally, I have adjusted all the Distro-Hyprland scripts (Arch, Debian, Fedora, OpenSuse and Ubuntu 24.04).
That is why I highly suggest you to re-download and re-install these Hyprland install scripts irrespective of which Hyprland Dots version you are currently using.
- If you are coming from Hyprland-Dots v2.2.10 , you can just install ags, wallust and new GTK Themes and Icons and just ran the copy.sh, release.sh or even the upgrade.sh . (Choose only one... Duh) Please see the wiki I have created
HEREabout copy, release and upgrade.sh's
- Huge thanks to @SherLock707 for this . Special thanks to @JohnRTitor for his test and contributions on this
For multi-monitor users, Im happy to announce that you can set any wallpapers individually :) All the wallpaper scripts, even the random ones are now only on active monitors o
:)
- Because pywal and neofetch are now in public Archive, need to find alternative. I know there is pywal16-colors but he need to update his readme as well... But, I see greatness ahead of color tweaking with wallust. I just hope maintainer of wallust need to double time to release and pack to major distros. :)
Normally I dont state here but I believe that since this is like the center of attraction for those scripts, better to mention here. Dont you guys agree? 😉
- Well not really much issue here. Its just flexible and bleeding edge
- reminder aylur-gtk-shell and wallust-git to install
- Well only issue is NO workspace on waybar. This is because fedora need to update their waybar repo. Some huge changes on Hyprland socket/ipc . Either you will compile waybar from source or wait until they will update. Should be within this week (hopefully)
- Wallust is not on repo, so you have to install from
devbranch. - Owners of Fedora 38 & 39, kindly read the Fedora-Hyprland readme as some manual adjustment on nwg-look else wont install
- Oh my love and hate with this Distro. Slow package manager plus why the heck sometimes it wants to install sway?!?!? Is there anyway to "block" this?
- ags and wallust (dev) need to install from source.
- I think bleeding edge package and Debian does not really play smooth. Need to baby sit the install scripts
- Same as Fedora Linux, waybar on Debian is slow. But as of this moment, its on SID channel. So soon will be on Trixie I believe :)
- I have set to install Hyprland v0.40 and Waybar will be compiled from source.
- Well lots of these packages are installed from source anyway 😅
- Last but not the least, Ubuntu Noble Numbat
- NOTE that Hyprland version that was set to install will be v0.39.1.
- Why is that? Well being an LTS, I dont expect the wayland-protocols to be updated sooner... and v0.40 needs an up to date dependencies
- But, I have set to install AGS and Wallust so yeah it is still compatible for this Hyprland-Dots release :)
- Well, you will have to manage it yourself 🤣 . But my Desktop is flawless with these dots :)
- Well, same as OpenSuse TW, I have a love and hate feelings with this Distro. Thats why it has never been my main distro
- For example, you cant just install from source, plenty things to do to get wallust-dev
- BUT, special thanks to @JohnRTitor since he is pushing for this to wallust developer :)
- Sometimes git pull is NOT enough. I dont know why but I experience it from time to time. That is why I always recommend to Re-download from your Distro-Hyprland install script and reinstall it.
- Please do yourself a favor to go through changelogs and readme!
- Two benefits for re-downloading the installs scripts. One is that you will get always the latest Hyprland-Dots release. Second, will be helping me to fix some bugs if present 😉. Dont worry I tested them all on my Machines
Some preview of these changelogs are HERE
Here are some of the changelogs:
- small tweak on WindowRules.conf
- fixed hyprlock delay due to weather. thanks to @SherLock707
- couple of typo and bug fixes
- Wlogout.sh tweaked for higher resolutions (4K) & 1080p
- some waybar style and module tweaks and re-organized
- added new waybar style Wallust - Transparent background
- added new waybar style - Dark Latte-Wallust combined. thanks to mannatsingh from my discord server for the design
- updated rofisearch script to close rofi when toggled
- Rofi configs tweaking to accomodate lower resolutions
- Rofi Beats can play local music. thanks to @Linxford. Need to tweak though as it wont continously play to next music file
- disabled silent moving of thunar to workspace 3. But can still enable in
~/.config/hypr/UserConfigs/WindowRules.conf - moving to wallust from pywal. NOTE you need v3 of wallust or the dev branch. wallust stable V2.10 wont work
- Wallpaper Scripts updated (random, select and automatic change) will only set wallpaper on FOCUSED monitor only. NOTE: you need awk for it to work
- ags overview powered by aylur's gtk shell. Huge thanks to @SherLock707
known issue: New rofi-beats can play local music, however, I cant make it play randomly and continously all the music inside a certain directory and sub-directories
And of course, many thanks to few people who have tested this version, reported some bugs, and help me iron-out these dotfiles.
- As these project requires lots of time to test for compatibilities and such accross distros, perhaps a Kofi or Coffee would be good :)
