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:
sfwbar.config.txt

[tomysurya]

great! thanks

[YaLTeR]

To celebrate the newly added rounded corners.

Real niri development on the main monitor:

Some notes:

• Bar: Waybar
• Font: Iosevka Term Medium
• Workspace-relative gradient borders are quite good for this wallpaper due to a bright spot in the top-right

[mohamad-supangat]

sebelumnya saya mengucapkan terimakasih atas kerja kerasnya di niri, i love it and migrasikan semuanya dari swayfx ke niri selama 1 minggu yang lalu di arch linux,

dapatkah kamu membagikan bagaimana cara menggunkanya di fedora silver blue ?

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-nolsh]

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

config at github:sodiboo/nix-config#fa49f90 but watch out for the build error (nom output in screenshot is dependent on the system not building; actually just set the wallpaper to firewatch-wide for the active config)

[Geek1405]

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-nolsh]

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

[zilti]

Where did you get that beautiful background?

[bittin]

Niri on the development version of EndeavourOS with a couple of bars :) and the EOS Sway config: https://github.com/EndeavourOS-Community-Editions/sway

[nebulosa2007]

Niri, waybar (2 panels), some gnome apps, fuzzel

[cptn-cosmo]

Do you have the config for the bars? 👀

[nebulosa2007]

Sure! Here the link
All modules/custom scripts to waybar is here

And all others config related my Niri setup. Please use attached README file

[binamralamsal]

Just installed today.

[devxan]

What are you using for your bar stuff, @binamralamsal?

[greed-d]

looks like waybar

[emoncvc]

dot file please?

[moilong]

window-open and window-close custom-shader in niri v0.1.6.
Thanks to @YaLTeR and @algernon .

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

[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]

That's anyrun following the adw-gtk3 theme (hope the late reply still helps)

[Suya1671]

the semi-productive setup™
https://github.com/Suyashtnt/commafiles/

[ChrisW-B]

@solitudealma I think that’s the https://github.com/nushell/nushell built in ls command

[solitudealma]

@solitudealma I think that’s the https://github.com/nushell/nushell built in ls command

That's a shame, this is so pretty

[Suya1671]

It is indeed nushell

[subnut]

What's the music app?

[Flatbread1]

Warframe OST, based. Also, that music app appears to just be Spicetify with a theme. (feel free to correct me on that if it isn't spicetify)

[brainlessbitch]

I love niri :3

[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

[augustebaum]

Also interested, it looks reaally slick!

[Rastizakia]

can u share the ags config :3

[phuhl]

I would also love to see those ags config files :)

[binarylinuxx]

im like niri so simple not overloaded setup

bar: waybar
terminal: alacritty
font: jetbrains Mono
color: matugen generated

[fizzyizzy05]

Just switched to Niri (previously used Sway, GNOME and tried Cosmic) and I'm really liking it and the scrolling-tiling workflow so far!

Dotfiles (most recent commit at the time of writing) https://codeberg.org/fizzyizzy05/dotfiles/src/commit/92afda26f49f7333b8a2d92f2ea4cc7ee65c57d0
Colour scheme is Catppuccin Mocha (with Pink used as an accent) and icons are Papirus!

Edit: updated commit with better packages.md listing, config otherwise unchanged.

[YaLTeR]

I like those border styles, really nice!

[stelcodes]

This is my minimal everforest setup on NixOS <3

Featuring: kitty, yazi, neovim, wofi, mako, waybar, wpaperd, microfetch, lollypop, zathura, mGBA running Emerald Seaglass 🐉

The only thing I really want right now is the focus ring to work with firefox/chromium transparency 🤔

Relevant nix config: https://github.com/stelcodes/nixflake/tree/main/modules/graphical

[hengtseChou]

Sharing my setup here. It's a combination of GNOME apps, font and style along with niri.

niri is the GOAT 😎

dots: https://github.com/hengtseChou/niri

[TheMagitian]

Essentially a clone of my Hyprland config - Hypridle, Hyprlock, Waybar(same config), Eww etc.

[maotseantonio]

dots plz

[64-bitman]

Tried to give off a libadwaita/GNOME vibe, I think it looks good enough. Note that the fastfetch output is completely wrong for the themes and stuff (no idea why).

[YaLTeR]

Nice! If you want to follow it closer, you should disable the window icon in the GTK decorations though :)

[64-bitman]

Nice! If you want to follow it closer, you should disable the window icon in the GTK decorations though :)

Do you know how to do that? Couldn't find any documentation anywhere. Thanks

[YaLTeR]

They're actually off by default so uh

It should be in dconf in /org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences/button-layout, make sure you don't have icon there. The default is appmenu:close

[chinatsu]

that bar configuration in between workspaces is so slick

[YaLTeR]

Huh, interesting in-between configuration indeed

[Vortriz]

love it! i am taking it

[AndreasHGK]

that's actually amazing
I may have to take some inspiration from this myself

[chinatsu]

work laptop (yet again too lazy to provide dots) :)

2025-05-30.13-54-57.mp4

inspired by knoopx's setup with a bar "between" workspaces in the overview. i run a simple bash script to show/hide ironbar.

[gro-david]

wow.
how are you doing the animated background? and where did you get this one from?

[chinatsu]

https://sr.ht/~mstoeckl/shaderbg/ with https://www.shadertoy.com/view/XXtBRr with some color changes :)

The current version of shaderbg uses the namespace shaderbg, so that can be used for matching and placing into the overview.

[YaLTeR]

Looks v clean

[SeritoGakko]

I really like niri, but I brought some gnome with me

inspired by #325 (comment)
большое спасибо, YaLTeR

[binarylinuxx]

niri and ignis widgets
also some screen corner radius stuff:

композитор прикольный уже месяц 3 на нем сижу

[SeritoGakko]

also some screen corner radius stuff - скажи пожалуйста как именно сделано)

[binarylinuxx]

ignis виджеты и scss

[zstg]

I know it says Hyprland, but this is exactly what my Niri config looks like too ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[binarylinuxx]

looks cool

[maotseantonio]

pwediepie style waybar for niri

[maotseantonio]

[maotseantonio]

base waybar config is this man https://github.com/grubbauer/gdotfiles.git
memory, brightness, taskbar is mine

[dantefromhell]

what browser is that? I love the visual simplicity!

[Suya1671]

Looks like a firefox (or derivative) + sidebery + user stylesheet

[maotseantonio]

firefox + sideberry + textfox

[andrabt]

• Network manager: nmtui
• Calendar: calcurse

[ogios]

Second post here. Still way-edges, but this time i added some information in the background(also on overview backdrop in niri) which design is taken from pewdiepie but written in ags, and a button with power menus.
