I have sfwbar at the top, which is set up to show the current window title. Window borders are set to have very slight rounding. Also, unfocused windows have a slightly lower opacity.

[tomysurya]

hey can you share your sfwbar config? thanks!

[FreeFull]

@tomysurya
Sure, here you go:

[tomysurya]

great! thanks

Sorry to bother you, what is your file manager? I'm using Dophin but I have black folder/files names on dark background and in general a light theme in all kde apps on Niri. I don't get how to apply (kde) theme in Niri too. Can you/someone give a tip to me? Thanks!

[throwaway-squared]

that looks an awful lot like pcmanfm, i use it too and its pretty nice, gets the job done

Hey out of sheer curiosity, how did you get niri working on void, I tried, not very hard admittedly, but I tried and couldn't figure it out.

[throwaway-squared]

i just managed to do it, follow the building guide, you can look for the package names with xbps

Conf

Thinner vertical waybar, rounded corners and global theme switching, even applied to Neovim!

Without the delay of some GTK apps, the theme switching animation would be perfect yet I don't want to delay the whole animation to wait for them

[YaLTeR]

Oh, that's quite nice! How do you get nvim to change colorscheme?

[vollowx]

Oh, that's quite nice! How do you get nvim to change colorscheme?

By several scripts: setbg, setcolor and some config in Neovim. The setbg corresponds to the background option in Neovim, while setcolor corresponds to :colorscheme .... Furthermore, you also need to modify the GTK themes that will be applied to adopt these script.

Basically copied from Bekaboo/dot and Bekaboo/nvim

[YaLTeR]

Thanks, this is what I've been looking for:

nvim --clean --headless --server "$sock" --remote-send "<Cmd>if &bg !=# '$1' | let g:script_set_bg=1 | set bg=$1 | unlet g:script_set_bg | endif<CR>" +'qa!' 2>/dev/null

[vollowx]

Yep, that's enough for the basic functionality

[scientiac]

@vollowx What is that launcher? How do I set it up like that?

[vollowx]

Look's pretty clean! I wonder what's the bar and applets.

[brainlessbitch]

everything is made with ags, and they're not technically applets just icons

[EinfachEli08]

Do you still have the dots? I am very interested in them :D

Also interested, it looks reaally slick!

niri-screencap-2024-12-05.mp4

Posting this mostly just to show off the fuzzel window switcher script that I made.

Running waybar + fuzzel. Waybar is showing, on the left: niri/workspaces (just showing the current number), keyboard-state, custom/keyboard-layer (uses a custom script to get the layer number from my Ferris Sweep), temperature (cpu), temperature (gpu), cpu; in the center: niri/window; on the right: tray, network, wireplumber, and clock.

[pvsr]

The window switcher is a great idea! I wrote a variation in fish that uses fuzzel's icon support:

#!/usr/bin/env fish
set windows (niri msg --json windows)
and set id (echo $windows |
  jq -r '.[] | "\(.id): \(.title)\u0000icon\u001f\(.app_id)"' |
  string replace -ar [·—] - | # fuzzel ignores lines containing these characters for some reason
  fuzzel --dmenu --counter --width 65 --lines (echo $windows | jq length) |
  string split : -f 1)
and niri msg action focus-window --id $id

[armerpunkt]

I wrote a variation in fish that uses fuzzel's icon support:

I didn't realize I could add the icon to it. Thanks! I've added it to my script now.

[bphenriques]

Yet another variation 😅

#shellcheck shell=bash
windows="$(niri msg --json windows)"
selection="$(echo "${windows}" \
  | jq -r '.[] | "\(.app_id) - \(.title)\u0000icon\u001f\(.app_id)"' \
  | fuzzel --counter --dmenu --index --width 65 --lines "$(echo "$windows" | jq length)"
)"

if [ "$selection" != -1 ]; then
  niri msg action focus-window --id "$(echo "${windows}" | jq -c --arg INDEX "$selection" '.[$INDEX | tonumber].id')"
fi

That was based on both your approaches 🙇 Thank you! I wish I could bind the same shortcut to swap between items (like how MacOS or Windows behave).

[algernon]

Here's another variant, this one shows not only the windows, but the workspaces they're on (their name, if available, their output + index otherwise), and orders the entries by output (name), then by workspace (id), then by window id (ideally, it would order by column last, but that information is not (yet?) available via niri msg).

Because there's a lot of JSON mangling involved, I wrote it in node, 'cos writing it in shell was becoming way too painful.

#! /usr/bin/env node

const fuzzel = process.argv[2] || "fuzzel"

const { spawnSync } = require("node:child_process")

const niri_workspaces = JSON.parse(
  spawnSync("niri", ["msg", "--json", "workspaces"]).stdout.toString()
)
let niri_windows = JSON.parse(
  spawnSync("niri", ["msg", "--json", "windows"]).stdout.toString()
)

let workspaces = []
for (let ws of niri_workspaces) {
  workspaces[ws.id] = ws
}

niri_windows = niri_windows.map(window => {
  window.workspace = workspaces[window.workspace_id]
  if (window.workspace.name == null) {
    window.workspace.name = window.workspace.output + "#" + window.workspace.idx
  }
  return window
})

niri_windows.sort((a, b) => {
  // Sort by output first
  if (a.workspace.output < b.workspace.output) {
    return -1
  }
  if (a.workspace.output > b.workspace.output) {
    return 1
  }

  // Workspace ID second
  ws_sort = a.workspace_id - b.workspace_id
  if (ws_sort != 0) {
    return ws_sort
  }

  // and then by window id
  return a.id - b.id
})

const longest_workspace_name =
      workspaces.reduce((acc, val) => {
        if (val.name && val.name.length > acc.length) {
          return val.name
        }
        return acc
      }, "", workspaces)

const fuzzel_input = niri_windows.map(window => {
  const ws = "[" + window.workspace.name + "]"
  return ws.padEnd(longest_workspace_name.length + 2) + " "
    + window.title
    + " \x00icon\x1f" + window.app_id
}).join("\n")

const chosen_window_id =
      spawnSync(fuzzel,
                [
                  "--counter", "--dmenu", "--index",
                  "--font", "Monaspace Neon:size=16.25",

                ],
                { input: fuzzel_input }).stdout.toString()

if (chosen_window_id != "") {
  const wid = parseInt(chosen_window_id)
  spawnSync("niri", ["msg", "action", "focus-window", "--id", niri_windows[wid].id])

[pulcinello]

As a former Sway user, I have been transitioning to Niri for some time now. I believe it is time to share some configurations that I have found useful.

Currently, I'm using:

OS: Fedora 41
WM: niri
Icon theme: Papirus Dark
Status bar: waybar
Notification daemon: mako
Terminal: kitty
Wallpaper utility: swaybg
Idle management daemon: hypridle
Screen locker: hyprlock
App lanucher: rofi-wayland
Clipboard manager: cliphist
Color picker: farge
Document viewer: zathura
Image viewer: imv
Video player: mpv
Text Editor: neovim

You can install most of them by running the following commands:

sudo dnf copr enable yalter/niri
sudo dnf install niri mako kitty waybar swaybg hypridle hyprlock rofi-wayland zathura zathura-pdf-mupdf mpv imv papirus-icon-theme-dark neovim

Below is a screenshot of my current desktop:

Waybar

The configuration of Waybar is primarily based on the EndeavourOS Community Config.
The font for the panel is Cascadia Code NF (cascadia-code-nf-fonts), which you can install from Fedora's package repository.

I would like to share the indicator for the focused workspace, which is a small triangle implemented using CSS.

First, create a svg file in ~/.config/waybar/assets:

nvim ~/.config/waybar/assets/triangle.svg

<svg width="64px" height="64px" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<path d="M10.285 3.85831C11.0618 2.56363 12.9382 2.56363 13.715 3.85831L22.1826 17.971C22.9824 19.3041 22.0222 21 20.4676 21H3.53238C1.97779 21 1.01757 19.3041 1.81739 17.971L10.285 3.85831Z" fill="#8c977d"/>
</svg>

Then, modify the style.css of waybar:

Inside ~/.config/waybar/style.css

#workspaces button.focused {
  background-image: url('assets/triangle.svg');
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: 6px 6px;
  background-position: bottom;
}

Rofi

Rofi, as a dmenu replacement, can be utilized in various ways:

App lanucher

When used as an app launcher, the theme is based on spotlight, which is from newmanls.

~/.config/rofi/themes/spotlight.rasi

* {
  font: "Cascadia Code NF 11";

  bg0: #151515f2;
  bg1: #1f1f1f80;
  bg2: #393939bf;
  fg0: #ffffff;
  fg1: #cecece;
  fg2: #DEDEDE80;

  background-color: transparent;
  text-color: @fg0;

  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  spacing: 0;
}

window {
  background-color: @bg0;
  location: center;
  width: 540px;
  border-radius: 4px;
}

inputbar {
  font: "Cascadia Code NF 13";
  padding: 12px;
  spacing: 12px;
  children: [ icon-search, entry];
}

icon-search {
  expand: false;
  filename: "search";
  size: 28px;
}

icon-search,
entry,
element-icon,
element-text {
  vertical-align: 0.5;
}

entry {
  font: inherit;

  placeholder: "Search";
  placeholder-color: @fg2;
}

message {
  border: 2px 0 0;
  border-color: @bg1;
  background-color: @bg1;
}

textbox {
  padding: 8px 24px;
}

listview {
  lines: 7;
  columns: 1;
  fixed-height: false;
  border: 1px 0 0;
  border-color: @bg1;
}

element {
  padding: 8px 16px;
  spacing: 16px;
  background-color: transparent;
  children: [ element-icon, element-text];
}

element normal active {
  text-color: @bg2;
}

element alternate active {
  text-color: @bg2;
}

element selected normal,
element selected active {
  background-color: @bg2;
  text-color: @fg1;
}

element-icon {
  size: 2em;
}

element-text {
  text-color: inherit;
}

Inside niri's config.kdl

binds {
    Mod+Space { spawn "sh" "-c" "rofi -show drun -theme spotlight"; }
}

Window Switcher / Clipboard Menu / Session Menu

Many things are taken from newmanls' config.

Use Rofi as a window switcher: rofi -show window.

Use Rofi as a clipboard menu: cliphist list | rofi -dmenu -display-columns 2 -p clipboard | cliphist decode | wl-copy.

Use Rofi as a session menu: see this script.

Mako

My favorite feature from newmanls' config is the notify-pulse script, which eliminates the need for an OSD tool.

Example mako config

font=Cascadia Code NF 12
icon-path=/usr/share/icons/Papirus-Dark
max-icon-size=48
default-timeout=5000
max-icon-size=48
layer=overlay
margin=8
padding=12
width=300
height=200
border-size=1
border-radius=4
border-color=#424242
background-color=#151515
text-color=#e8e3e3
progress-color=over #2e2e2e

[urgency=critical]
border-color=#b66467
default-timeout=0

Inside niri's config.kdl

bind {
    XF86AudioRaiseVolume allow-when-locked=true { spawn "notify-pulse" "up"; }
    XF86AudioLowerVolume allow-when-locked=true { spawn "notify-pulse" "down"; }
    XF86AudioMute        allow-when-locked=true { spawn "notify-pulse" "toggle"; }
    XF86AudioMicMute     allow-when-locked=true { spawn "notify-pulse" "toggle"; }
}

mpv

I use ModernZ for a modern video player interface, and thumbfast is a must-have.

hyprlock

Config is based on MrVivekRajan's work.

~/.config/hypr/hyprlock.conf

Terminal

Currently, there's nothing fancy in my kitty's config. I may add some updates after ghostty's public release.

[YaLTeR]

Looks very nice, thanks for the detailed info :)

[pulcinello]

Thank you for creating niri. Your work is incredible!

[extsy0]

By far my favorite wayland compositor thanks so much for this project :D

yambar, helix editor, mako, fuzzel, themes are either dracula or catppuccin

[ChrisW-B]

Really loving the new niri update! Finally I can organize all my windows exactly where I need them

(genuinely, the implementation of floating windows is great. It was so easy to pile everything into chaos and then just mod right click everything right back to beautiful organized scrolling)

[ChrisW-B]

Oh yeah sorry! Even though this is mostly a joke post, the apps visible are

• Terminal: Alacritty and tmux with Cattppuccin
• Browser: Firefox with firefox-gnome-theme
• Steam via xwayland-satellite
• Github/Forgejo/etc notification client is forge-sparks
• Game launcher in the background is Cartridges (found both this and forge-sparks through the excellent Gnome Circle page)
• top bar is waybar, with Trayscale for tailscale status
• Notification center is swaync
• dark/light theme switching is handled by darkman

And dotfiles at the time of the screenshot are all here: https://git.chriswb.dev/chrisw-b/dotfiles/src/commit/b300e4aef4d8e45c3df7ff7b6bb6cbeba951da34

[thepragandsensdiary]

hey! just wondering, Is there a way to lock my screen using GDM (gnome display manager)? I know that swaylock is like kilobytes of space but, I like how gdm looks~.

[YaLTeR]

Uhh, not really I think. Even what you see when you lock the screen in gnome shell is not GDM, but rather a special gnome shell screen.

[thepragandsensdiary]

Thanks Dev yalter, I settled up with swaylock-effects, still kinda weird on niri? I tried setting up the background as transparent but it stays red, also when I use the "screenshot" functionality it flashes red for a fraction of a second after locking it. It's kind of annoying? Why is that?

My guesses:

• The ext-session-lock-v1 protocol
• Niri blocking the view after locking the screen (feature not a bug i guess)
• The smithay library? idk
  It flashes/stays red after locking, is that a bug or a feature? something to do with swaylock? I tried both swaylock and swaylock-effects.
  Also tried the window rule "draw-border-with-background false" to no avail. :C

[YaLTeR]

The red flashing needs to be fixed on niri side. The red background for transparent surfaces is not incorrect from my reading of the season lock protocol (it doesn't say what background color should be used).

[itflakess]

I now have a smooth experience and I'm very grateful to everyone who contributed these softwares.

• Terminal: Foot
• Browser: Firefox with firefox-gnome-theme
• Bar: Waybar
• Notification: mako
• Launcher: Fuzzel
• Lock: swaylock-effects

https://git.sr.ht/~ity/dotfiles

There is a flash of red at the lock screen moment, I don't know if it has been fixed or if it's just my problem?

[itflakess]

My mono font is Cascadia, pretty good!

[YaLTeR]

Nice! The red flash hasn't been fixed yet.

[itflakess]

[lpnh]

My trick for the red screen: #502 (comment)

[foulmerchant]

Niri + waybar + swww + fuzzel + dunst on a core2duo MacBook Pro running CachyOS w/lavd scheduler. and if you didn't know that old chip was in there, you wouldn't think it was. And this was an opinion I had with only 4gb. It's since been bumped. Niri is so performant. CachyOS just being a playground for future Linux is awesome. Niri is my new favorite thing ever.

//will add video once i figure out why screen capturing isn't working and dotfiles once done!

thank u YaLTer and all parties involved

[ein-shved]

Hi! I've just replaced Windows with NixOS with niri configured on my gaming PC.

Want to say that all graphic-related task are fully works for me: modeling for 3D printing and gaming. So there is no reason to use windows ever.

I uses niri with waybar, hyprlock, hypridle, sway-nc and wpaperd (buggy, but rusty =))).

Workspace with Modeling for 3D printing

Workspace with Steam and browsing

Workspace with niri configuration

Whole my NixOS configuration for several hosts is here

Workspace with rust development

Here is simple utility for my gaming setup. I have a PC with two monitors connected: my working monitor and big TV for playing games with friends. So I need only for single active output at a time. I wrote utility which controls outputs withing startup and with hotkeys.

[YaLTeR]

Looks pretty cool!

[selfuryon]

I migrated to niri after hyprland and I really love niri and how it works. Awesome work, thanks for it!!

My setups is pretty typical: fuzzel, waybar, swaync, dunst, kitty, hyprlock. The full config can be checked here (I use NixOS).

[foulmerchant]

Niri + Alacritty + Ratatui is some combination. Blazing fast indeed. Using focus-follow mouse as long as you are within range of the window, key binds are picked by the respective window, so with a keyboard, touchpad and an entire utility workspace centered around TUIs, centered around hotkeys. Always a bind away. No clicking necessary

And it looks gud with Niris animations and Alacrittyy's dynamic adjusting to frame the terminal content.

Niri + Alacritty + Waybar + Swww + Dunst + Bottom + Parui +Basilk + rmpc + Pipeline + mpd + Gnome Web

This setup is very much in progress

Normally the launcher would close if it loses focus, but I just had to showcase the colors of Zen...
I intentionally did not go for a bar, since imo it just takes up space most of the time, so I integrated it into my custom launcher, created with python, fzf and alacritty. It also has a dashboard mode for some utilities I use all the time and a window switching mode.

I really like the concept! I currently show/hide waybar using a shortcut but I might explore your approach

[r4hulrosh4n]

is that just terminal in place of launcher?

[gro-david]

Yes and also no. It is just a alacritty window with a custom window title which I am then matching using a window rule and with that moving it to float in the middle of the screen. Alacritty is started through a python script that looks out for any events it may send, and if it sees that it lost focus, it closes the window, as if it was a normal launcher.

Then there is another python script running which finds the apps, windows, accesses the dashboard, and handles mode switching. It also creates the header bar with some status info.

All of this is then displayed in alacritty using fzf (a fuzzy finder). If I select any option then my python script causes fzf to exit which then causes alacritty to exit, thus closing the window automatically.

can you share the script? and your config?

[gro-david]

You can find the launcher on my GitHub, the code is a mess though.... As for the config the relevant part is described in the README. This is my config.

finally i'm making my post here.
recently i've been working on the widget of mine, and this is finally it, after i add support for niri workspace.

really love the compositor, especially after the support of floating window. also it helped me learn a lot about wayland.

i'm more in favor of a clean desktop so seldom do i use a "bar", and so i made these little tools, you can see the "emptiness" in my desktop.

The edges thing looks quite interesting

[gro-david]

Holy, whats up with that notification sidebar. That looks nice as heck. Interesting concept all in all. I especially like the workspace indicator.

Thank you very much 💜@YaLTeR #niri is simply incredible

You're probably hitting wez/wezterm#6472

[John1400800]

it's strange that when I write in the window rules for wezterm in default-column-width when I insert a value instead of a space, wezterm stops opening at all

[YaLTeR]

This is another wezterm issue: https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/wiki/Application-Issues#wezterm

is this the problem?:

This is another wezterm issue: https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/wiki/Application-Issues#wezterm

is there a way to specify the size or is there no way to make it work with Wezterm yet (with enabled option prefer-no-csd) ?

[YaLTeR]

It has to be fixed in WezTerm. There have been open PRs with fixes for a while.
