Setup Showcase

[YaLTeR]

Showcase your custom niri setups!

Rules:¹

• Upload your screenshot or video directly to GitHub. This way we won't lose them if the hosting is temporary or disappears.
• You can post multiple times.
• Linking your config is very welcome. Use direct commit links if possible to preserve the point in history (press y when looking at a file or folder on GitHub to convert the URL).

I have sfwbar at the top, which is set up to show the current window title. Window borders are set to have very slight rounding. Also, unfocused windows have a slightly lower opacity.

[tomysurya]

hey can you share your sfwbar config? thanks!

[FreeFull]

@tomysurya
Sure, here you go:
sfwbar.config.txt

[tomysurya]

great! thanks

[YaLTeR]

To celebrate the newly added rounded corners.

Real niri development on the main monitor:

Some notes:

• Bar: Waybar
• Font: Iosevka Term Medium
• Workspace-relative gradient borders are quite good for this wallpaper due to a bright spot in the top-right

sebelumnya saya mengucapkan terimakasih atas kerja kerasnya di niri, i love it and migrasikan semuanya dari swayfx ke niri selama 1 minggu yang lalu di arch linux,

dapatkah kamu membagikan bagaimana cara menggunkanya di fedora silver blue ?

[qubixq]

This customization looks great. It looks like it will be very helpful for my first experience with Niri.
Thank you.

Sorry to bother you, what is your file manager? I'm using Dophin but I have black folder/files names on dark background and in general a light theme in all kde apps on Niri. I don't get how to apply (kde) theme in Niri too. Can you/someone give a tip to me? Thanks!

[throwaway-nolsh]

that looks an awful lot like pcmanfm, i use it too and its pretty nice, gets the job done

it's just pcmanfm

[flasherxgapple]

Can i get your yambar and lava launcher config?

[truedat101]

Inspired. This looks great.

[Geek1405]

Hey out of sheer curiosity, how did you get niri working on void, I tried, not very hard admittedly, but I tried and couldn't figure it out.

[throwaway-nolsh]

i just managed to do it, follow the building guide, you can look for the package names with xbps

[zilti]

Where did you get that beautiful background?

[theNoof]

yea mind sharing the wallpaper?

[bittin]

Niri on the development version of EndeavourOS with a couple of bars :) and the EOS Sway config: https://github.com/EndeavourOS-Community-Editions/sway

[nebulosa2007]

Niri, waybar (2 panels), some gnome apps, fuzzel

[cptn-cosmo]

Do you have the config for the bars? 👀

[nebulosa2007]

Sure! Here the link
All modules/custom scripts to waybar is here

And all others config related my Niri setup. Please use attached README file

[binamralamsal]

Just installed today.

[devxan]

What are you using for your bar stuff, @binamralamsal?

[greed-d]

looks like waybar

[ChemistCoder90]

dot file please?

[moilong]

window-open and window-close custom-shader in niri v0.1.6.
Thanks to @YaLTeR and @algernon .

niri_animations.mp4

config: https://gitlab.com/sharkler/sharkler-dots/-/blob/main/.config/niri/config.kdl?ref_type=heads

[DekuD2]

The window-close animation is just sublime! I am gonna use it in my setup :)

[vollowx]

2024-06-02.00-56-38.mp4

Conf

Thinner vertical waybar, rounded corners and global theme switching, even applied to Neovim!

Without the delay of some GTK apps, the theme switching animation would be perfect yet I don't want to delay the whole animation to wait for them

[vollowx]

Oh, that's quite nice! How do you get nvim to change colorscheme?

By several scripts: setbg, setcolor and some config in Neovim. The setbg corresponds to the background option in Neovim, while setcolor corresponds to :colorscheme .... Furthermore, you also need to modify the GTK themes that will be applied to adopt these script.

Basically copied from Bekaboo/dot and Bekaboo/nvim

[YaLTeR]

Thanks, this is what I've been looking for:

nvim --clean --headless --server "$sock" --remote-send "<Cmd>if &bg !=# '$1' | let g:script_set_bg=1 | set bg=$1 | unlet g:script_set_bg | endif<CR>" +'qa!' 2>/dev/null

[vollowx]

Yep, that's enough for the basic functionality

[scientiac]

@vollowx What is that launcher? How do I set it up like that?

[vollowx]

That's anyrun following the adw-gtk3 theme (hope the late reply still helps)

[Suya1671]

the semi-productive setup™
https://github.com/Suyashtnt/commafiles/

[ChrisW-B]

@solitudealma I think that’s the https://github.com/nushell/nushell built in ls command

[solitudealma]

@solitudealma I think that’s the https://github.com/nushell/nushell built in ls command

That's a shame, this is so pretty

[Suya1671]

It is indeed nushell

[subnut]

What's the music app?

[Flatbread1]

Warframe OST, based. Also, that music app appears to just be Spicetify with a theme. (feel free to correct me on that if it isn't spicetify)

[brainlessbitch]

I love niri :3

[brainlessbitch]

everything is made with ags, and they're not technically applets just icons

[SomeRandoLameo]

Do you still have the dots? I am very interested in them :D

[augustebaum]

Also interested, it looks reaally slick!

[Rastizakia]

can u share the ags config :3

[phuhl]

I would also love to see those ags config files :)

[sakievmi-dev]

🖥️ My cattpuccin mocha niri setup

cmus, fastfetch and cava

Fuzzel (system menu + app launcher), dunst and floating windows

[New9c]

My dotfiles: https://github.com/New9c/workflow
GitHub doesn't like embedded redirects, so download the SVG if you want to click on any of the links inside!
(Or open it in a new tab, which will make the links work but make my photo look mad ugly :c )

[Moad26]

Going for a minimal setup here

[JipFr]

Stunning background, could you share?

[Etch9]

I've been using Niri for a long time now, I revamped my configuration recently and decided it was good enough to share here :3



Shell: Noctalia
Runner: tofi
Terminal: Kitty
editor: neovim

[Qianxuanlingtian]

Wow, it's so beautiful!

[jR4dh3y]

just made my portfolio website in niri style link: https://radhey.dev

and well my actual rice is

its at https://rice.jr4.in/ with a vid showcase and auto installer script

[Stereo8]

I am fully embracing the blur over here...

[dogfew]

Also there is a mode without gaps and round borders that i switch by right-click at top left icon.

dotfiles

[auralisx]

Updated Config with simple vertical waybar to match vertical workspace of niri

dotfiles

[kianblakley]

I realized I only ever use a status bar to occasionally check the time and battery so I got rid of it entirely and moved most of the basic functionality of a desktop (time, battery, networking, notifications etc.) into off-screen panels.

Built with fabric: https://github.com/kianblakley/bomb-shell

I should show a video showcase of my setup

[UnrequitedEcho]

Might have to steal some of the colors on that waybar when the dotfiles become available.
But now I am confused. Is that Artix of Devuan?

Hello there. This is Artix because you can literally see on my fastfetch (i just changed fetch logo because i like the design of logo that reminds me of that lake i took from mountain one day), also dotfile is available on my Codeberg repo, so feel free to steal if needed (Waybar bar config is made from scratch by myself)

very thin waybar with custom org-mode agenda widget

[KarimAlaswad]

what music player are you using on the right?

[ACoolioDude]

what music player are you using on the right?

I assume that's Spotify with Spicetify

[liakadmon]

I'm just using Noctalia but I think it's useful and pretty 🤷‍♀️
Color scheme is Eldritch, prompt is a slightly-modified Starship preset. On my second monitor I keep a Kitty panel with rmpc, btop, and fastfetch (for the screenshots, duh) and a second tab split between yazi and podman-tui.

[valpackett]

Noctalia v5 (no quickshell!). "Not even alpha yet" but it's already incredibly complete!

[HigherOrderLogic]

May I ask what is that terminal emulator?

[greed-d]

looks like zed editor's terminal

[valpackett]

Yeah, gram-editor == Gram, a fork of Zed

[WladimirKowtun]

Just Niri, Waybar and Wofi. Still under construction. But this is how it goes...

I just have a few days on Niri, but am sure it will be my new home for a long time.

Thanks a lot for building this amazing WM! 💛
