You probably forgot to turn on `decoration:blur_new_optimizations`. Thank me

### My monitor no worky
Try changing the mode in your config. If your preferred one doesn't work, try a
lower one. A good way to list all modes is to get `wlr-randr` and do a

Open a terminal where you cloned the repo.

If you are using the AUR (hyprland-git) package, you
will need to cleanbuild to update the package. Paru

You have misconfigured Waybar. Make sure the `layer` in the waybar config is set to `top`, and not `bottom`.

Oh no! Anyway, the QT cursor size can be fixed by setting the envvar `XCURSOR_SIZE=24`. You
