# General
|
|
|
|
The general config of a monitor looks like this
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
monitor=name,resolution,offset,scale
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A common example:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
monitor=DP-1,1920x1080@144,0x0,1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
will tell Hyprland to make the monitor on `DP-1` a `1920x1080` display, at 144Hz,
|
|
`0x0` off from the top left corner, with a scale of 1 (unscaled).
|
|
|
|
Monitors are positioned on a virtual "layout". The `offset` is the position of
|
|
said display in the layout. (calculated from the top-left corner)
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
```ini
|
|
monitor=DP-1, 1920x1080, 0x0, 1
|
|
monitor=DP-2, 1920x1080, 1920x0, 1
|
|
```
|
|
will tell hyprland to make DP-1 on the _left_ of DP-2, while
|
|
```ini
|
|
monitor=DP-1, 1920x1080, 1920x0, 1
|
|
monitor=DP-2, 1920x1080, 0x0, 1
|
|
```
|
|
will tell hyprland to make DP-1 on the _right_.
|
|
|
|
{{< hint type=tip >}}
|
|
|
|
The offset is calculated with the scaled resolution, meaning if
|
|
you want your 4K monitor with scale 2 to the left of your 1080p one, you'd use
|
|
the offset `1920x0` for the second screen. (3840 / 2)
|
|
|
|
{{</ hint >}}
|
|
|
|
Leaving the name empty will define a fallback rule to use when no other rules
|
|
match.
|
|
|
|
You can use `preferred` as a resolution to use the display's preferred size, and
|
|
`auto` as an offset to let Hyprland decide on an offset for you.
|
|
|
|
Recommended rule for quickly plugging in random monitors:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
monitor=,preferred,auto,1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Will make any monitor that was not specified with an explicit rule automatically
|
|
placed on the right of the other(s) with its preferred resolution.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively you can use the `highrr` or `highres` rules in order to get the
|
|
best possible resolution or refreshrate mix.
|
|
|
|
for a focus on refreshrate use this:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
monitor=,highrr,auto,1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
for a focus on resolution this:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
monitor=,highres,auto,1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For more specific rules, you can also use the output's description
|
|
(see `hyprctl monitors`) like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
monitor=desc:SDC 0x4154,preferred,auto,1.5
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
remember to remove the (portname)!
|
|
|
|
## Disabling a monitor
|
|
|
|
To disable a monitor, use
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
monitor=name,disable
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Custom reserved area
|
|
|
|
If your workflow requires custom reserved area, you can add it with
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
monitor=name,addreserved,TOP,BOTTOM,LEFT,RIGHT
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Where `TOP` `BOTTOM` `LEFT` `RIGHT` are integers in pixels of the reserved area
|
|
to add. This does stack on top of the calculated one, (e.g. bars) but you may
|
|
only use one of these rules per monitor in the config.
|
|
|
|
# Extra args
|
|
|
|
## Mirrored displays
|
|
|
|
If you want to mirror a display, add a `,mirror,[NAME]` at the end of the monitor
|
|
rule, examples:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
monitor=DP-3,1920x1080@60,0x0,1,mirror,DP-2
|
|
monitor=,preferred,auto,1,mirror,DP-1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Please remember that mirroring displays will not "re-render" everything for your
|
|
second monitor, so if mirroring a 1080p screen onto a 4K one, the resolution
|
|
will still be 1080p on the 4K display. This also means squishing and stretching
|
|
will occur on non-matching resolutions.
|
|
|
|
## 10 bit support
|
|
|
|
If you want to enable 10 bit support for your display, add a `,bitdepth,10` at the
|
|
end of the monitor rule, e.g.:
|
|
```ini
|
|
monitor=eDP-1,2880x1800@90,0x0,1,bitdepth,10
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Please be aware that colors registered in Hyprland (e.g. the border color) do _not_
|
|
support 10 bit.

# Rotating and the default workspace
|
|
|
|
{{< hint type=important >}}
|
|
|
|
The monitor transform and workspace keywords depend on a monitor rule set
|
|
specifically for the targeted monitor, and **_MUST_** be after it.
|
|
|
|
e.g.:
|
|
```ini
|
|
monitor=,preferred,auto,1
|
|
workspace=DP-3,1 # invalid
|
|
|
|
monitor=DP-3,preferred,auto,1
|
|
workspace=DP-3,1 # valid
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{{< /hint >}}
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
workspace=name,number
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
for example:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
workspace=DP-1,1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
will tell Hyprland to make the default workspace on DP-1 a number 1.
|
|
|
|
If you want to rotate a monitor, use
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
monitor=NAME,transform,TRANSFORM
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
where `NAME` is the name, and `TRANSFORM` is an integer, from 0 to 7,
|
|
corresponding to your transform of choice.
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
normal (no transforms) -> 0
|
|
90 degrees -> 1
|
|
180 degrees -> 2
|
|
270 degrees -> 3
|
|
flipped -> 4
|
|
flipped + 90 degrees -> 5
|
|
flipped + 180 degrees -> 6
|
|
flipped + 270 degrees -> 7
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Binding workspaces to a monitor
|
|
|
|
A workspace can be bound to a monitor, meaning by default it will ALWAYS open
|
|
on the selected monitor. You can do this with
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
wsbind=WORKSPACE,MONITOR
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
for example:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
wsbind=5,DP-1
|
|
wsbind=name:secret,DP-2
|
|
```
|
