You can override the package through `.override` or `.overrideAttrs`. This is easily achievable through NixOS or Home Manager. ## Package options These are the default options that the Hyprland package is built with. These can be changed by setting the appropriate option to `true`/`false`. ### Package ```nix (inputs.hyprland.packages.${pkgs.default}.default.override { enableXWayland = true; hidpiXWayland = true; nvidiaPatches = false; }) ``` ### NixOS & HM modules ```nix programs.hyprland = { # or wayland.windowManager.hyprland enable = true; xwayland = { enable = true; hidpi = true; }; nvidiaPatches = false; } ``` ## Options descriptions ### XWayland XWayland is enabled by default in the Nix package. You can disable it either in the package itself, or through the module options. ### XWayland HiDPI By default, the Nix package includes a patched wlroots that can render HiDPI XWayland windows. In order to enable the functionality, you have to add: ```toml exec-once=xprop -root -f _XWAYLAND_GLOBAL_OUTPUT_SCALE 32c -set _XWAYLAND_GLOBAL_OUTPUT_SCALE 2 ``` This will make XWayland programs look as if they were unscaled. To fix this, you have to export different environment variables to make the specific toolkits render at the proper scaling. For example ```sh export GDK_SCALE=2 export XCURSOR_SIZE=48 ``` {{< hint >}} The GDK_SCALE variable won't conflict with wayland-native GTK programs. {{< /hint >}} Usually, there's no reason to disable this functionality, as it won't affect people who don't have HiDPI screens. If you _do_ insist on disabling it though (e.g. for adding your own patches to wlroots), you can do so by either using the `hyprland-no-hidpi` package, or by passing the `hidpiXWayland = false;` flag, the same way as [disabling XWayland](#package) ### Nvidia Patches Nvidia is notorious for not working by default with wlroots. That's why we patch wlroots. ## Using Nix repl If you're using Nix (and not NixOS or Home Manager) and you want to override, you can do it like this ```sh $ nix repl nix-repl> :lf "github:hyprwm/Hyprland" nix-repl> :bl outputs.packages.x86_64-linux.hyprland.override {nvidiaPatches = true;} # option = value ``` Then you can run Hyprland from the built path.
