curves, etc. see

# Variable types

| type | description |
|---|---|
| int | integer |
| bool | boolean, `true` or `false` (`yes` or `no`, `0` or `1`) - any numerical value that is not `0` or `1` will cause undefined behaviour. |
| float | floating point number |
| color | color (e.g. `0x22334455` - alpha `0x22`, red `0x33`, green `0x44`, blue `0x55`) |
| vec2 | vector with 2 values (float), separated by a space (e.g. `0 0` or `-10.9 99.1`) |
2022-08-18 20:14:52 +02:00
| MOD | a string modmask (e.g. `SUPER` or `SUPERSHIFT` or`SUPERSHIFTALTCTRLCAPSMOD2MOD3MOD5` or empty for none) |

# Sections
## General
2022-08-13 17:49:05 +02:00
| name | description | type | default |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| sensitivity | mouse sensitivity (\*this is Hyprland sensitivity, added on top of the data. To modify the data per-device, or more accurately (sensitivities > 1 might cause mouse to jump pixels), see `input:sensitivity` | float | 1.0 |
| apply_sens_to_raw | if on, will also apply the sensitivity to raw mouse output (e.g. sensitivity in games) | bool | false |
| main_mod | the mod used to move/resize windows (hold main_mod and LMB/RMB, try it and you'll know what I mean.) | mod | SUPER |
| border_size | self-explanatory | int | 1 |
| no_border_on_floating | disable borders for floating windows | bool | false |
| gaps_in | gaps between windows | int | 5 |
| gaps_out | gaps between windows and monitor edges | int | 20 |
| col.inactive_border | self-explanatory | color | 0xffffffff |
| col.active_border | self-explanatory | color | 0xff444444 |
| cursor_inactive_timeout | in seconds, after how many seconds of cursor's inactivity to hide it. Set to `0` for never. | int | 0 |
| damage_tracking | Makes the compositor redraw only the needed bits of the display. Saves on resources by not redrawing when not needed. Available modes: `none, monitor, full`. You don't need to know what different modes do, just always use `full`. | str | full |
| layout | which layout to use. (Available: `dwindle`, `master`) | str | dwindle |
| no_cursor_warps | if true, will not warp the cursor in many cases (focusing, keybinds, etc) | bool | false |

`blur_size` and `blur_passes` have to be at least 1.
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
2022-08-13 17:49:05 +02:00
Increasing `blur_passes` is necessary to prevent blur looking wrong on higher `blur_size` values,
but remember that higher `blur_passes` will require more strain on the GPU.
2022-08-12 20:46:36 +02:00
2022-08-13 17:49:05 +02:00
It will, however, cause zero overhead on tiled windows if using `blur_new_optimizations`.

Using `blur_new_optimizations` with an animated wallpaper may actually increase GPU usage.
