Dwindle is a BSPWM-like layout, where every window on a workspace is a member of

## Quirks
Dwindle splits are NOT PERMANENT. The split is determined dynamically with the

- `HYPRLAND_NO_SD_NOTIFY=1` - If systemd, disables the `sd_notify` calls.

compatibility issues
- `CLUTTER_BACKEND=wayland` - Clutter package already has wayland enabled, this variable will force Clutter applications
to try and use the Wayland backend

If your host machine uses multiple GPUs, you may want to primarily use one GPU
for rendering all the elements for Hyprland including windows, animations, and
another for hardware acceleration for certain applications, etc.
This setup is very common in the likes of gaming laptops,
GPU-passthrough (without VFIO) capable hosts, and if you have multiple GPUs in
general.

# Fractional scaling
This page documents known tricks and fixes to boost performance if by any chance
you stumble upon problems or you do not care that much about animations.
Wayland fractional scaling is a lot better than before, but it is not perfect. Some applications do not support it yet or the support is experimental at best. If you have problems with your graphics card having high usage and hyprland feeling laggy then try setting the scaling to integer numbers such as `1` or `2` like in this example `monitor=,preferred,auto,2`.

If you have problems with your graphics card having high usage and hyprland

## Enabling tearing
To enable tearing:
- Set `general:allow_tearing` to `true`. This is a "master toggle"
- Add `env = WLR_DRM_NO_ATOMIC,1` to your Hyprland config. This disables the usage of a newer kernel DRM API that doesn't support tearing yet.

## PR Requirements
- Clean, not hacky code
- Described changes and _why_ they were there
- Following the style (see below)
## Code Style
### Code Style
Hyprland's code style is governed by the `.clang-format` file.
Make sure to format accordingly whenever you make a PR.

amount of hashmap searches, getting a config option looks like this:
```cpp
static auto* const PFOLLOWMOUSE = &g_pConfigManager->getConfigValuePtr("input:follow_mouse")->intValue;

Since the hashmap _cannot_ be mutated during runtime, this pointer will always be valid, and will not require hashmap lookups every single time it's read.

Outside those, there is a way to fix it that _might_ work for you though:
**Option 1:** Use _only_ the external monitor
By using `WLR_DRM_DEVICES=/dev/dri/card1` (or `card0`) you can force Hyprland to use only your dGPU,
meaning your laptop's screen will be gone but your external one will work.

# GTK Settings no work / whatever
If using flatpak, run `flatpak override --env=~/.themes:ro --env=~/.icons:ro --user` and put your themes in both `/usr/share/themes` and `~/.themes`, and put your icons and cursors in both `/usr/share/icons` and `~/.icons`.
For Qt applications, Hyprland exports XCURSOR_SIZE as 24, which is the default.
You can overwrite this by exporting XCURSOR_SIZE to a different value with `env`.
You can also try running `gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme 'theme-name'` or adding it after `exec-once=` in your config.
If you do not want to install a GTK settings editor, change the config files according to the
[XDG specification (Arch Wiki link)](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Cursor_themes#Configuration).
Make sure to also edit `~/.config/gtk-4.0/settings.ini` and `~/.gtkrc-2.0` if _not_ using a tool

## Force apps to use Wayland
A lot of apps will use Wayland by default. Chromium (and other browsers based on it or electron)
don't. You need to pass `--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland` to them or use `.conf` files
where possible. Chromium-based browsers also should have a toggle in `chrome://flags`. Search for _"ozone"_ and select Wayland.
For most electron apps, you should put the above in `~/.config/electron-flags.conf`. VSCode is known
to not work with that though.

You can choose between the proprietary [Nvidia drivers](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA) or the open source [Nouveau driver](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Nouveau). Under the proprietary Nvidia drivers category, there are 3 of them: the current driver named 'nvidia' (or 'nvidia-dkms' to use with custom linux kernels) which is under active development, the legacy drivers 'nvidia-3xxxx' for older cards which Nvidia no longer actively supports, and the 'nvidia-open' driver which is currently an alpha stage attempt to open source a part of their close source driver for newer cards.

You may want to use the proprietary Nvidia drivers in some cases, for example: if you have a new Nvidia GPU model, if you want more performance, if you want to play video games, if you need a wider feature set (for example, better power consumption on recent GPUs), etc. However, keep in mind that if the proprietary Nvidia drivers do not work properly on your computer, the Nouveau driver might work fine while not having as much features or performance. For [older cards](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#Unsupported_drivers), in order to use Hyprland, you will probably need to use the Nouveau driver which actively supports them.

For people using [grub](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB) you can do this by adding `nvidia_drm.modeset=1` to the end of `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=` in `/etc/default/grub`, then run `# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg`

### Why use findFunctionsByName?
Why use that instead of e.g. `&CCompositor::focusWindow`? Two reasons:
1 - less breakage. Whenever someone updates hyprland, that address might become invalid. findFunctionsByName is more resilient. As long as the function exists, it will be found.

2 - error handling. The method array contains, besides the address, the signatures. You can verify those to make 100% sure you got the right function, or throw an error if it was not found.

This page documents the basics of making your own Hyprland plugin from scratch.
## How do plugins work?
Plugins are basically dynamic objects loaded by Hyprland. They have
(almost) full access to every part of Hyprland's internal process, and as such,
can modify and change way more than a script.

## Prerequisites

- Knowledge of C++
- The ability to read
- A rough understanding of the Hyprland internals (you _can_ learn this alongside your development work)

### The basic parts of the plugin
Starting from the top, you will have to include the plugin API:
```cpp
#include <hyprland/src/plugins/PluginAPI.hpp>
```
Feel free to take a look at the header. It contains a bunch of useful comments.
We also create a global pointer for our handle:
```cpp
inline HANDLE PHANDLE = nullptr;
```
we will initialize it in our plugin init function later. It serves as an internal "ID" of our plugin.

Then, there is the API version method:
```cpp
// Do NOT change this function.
APICALL EXPORT std::string PLUGIN_API_VERSION() {
return HYPRLAND_API_VERSION;
}
```
This method will tell Hyprland what API version was used to compile this plugin. Do NOT change it.
It will be set automatically when compiling to the correct value.

# Waybar
## Waybar
Waybar is a GTK status bar made specifically for wlroots compositors and
supports Hyprland by default. To use it, it's recommended to use your distro's
package.
If you want to use the workspaces module, first, copy the configuration files from
`/etc/xdg/waybar/` into `~/.config/waybar/`. Then, in `~/.config/waybar/config` replace
all the references to `sway/workspaces` with `hyprland/workspaces`.

`hyprland/workspaces`.
For more info regarding configuration, see
[The Waybar Wiki](https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/wiki/Module:-Hyprland).

After getting everything set up, you might want to check if Waybar is configured to your liking. To launch it, simply type `waybar` into your terminal.

applications communicate swiftly with the compositor through D-Bus.
It's used for stuff like e.g. opening file pickers, screen sharing.
On Wayland, it also requires an implementation. For Hyprland,
you'd usually use `xdg-desktop-portal-wlr` (later called XDPW)
