Avizo had some issues that ultimately made me return to the old and
reliable dunst. For example, the home-manager service would fail to
restart after the computer was idle for a set amount of time.
The way avizo manages its window also resulted in compositors like
Hyprland and picom showing a blur artifact when avizo tried to fade
itself. Ultimately using dunst simplifies things and avoids having
to look in two different places for notifications.
After trying the new picom animations for a bit they're a bit too janky
compared to the animations in Hyprland. The "geometry" trigger
replicated the tiling animation when swapping windows, however this came
at the cost of transparency being broken during the animation and the
easing in general not being comparable to Hyprland.
Further issues include the usage of animations breaking fade in/out
support for windows, which I found less intrusive than the appear /
disappear presets with not-so-subtle easing. Using the geometry trigger
also meant that switching tags in dwm had a slide in effect, which felt
disruptive compared to the usual feeling of dwm.
Other issues included the increased probability of things not being
drawn correctly (for example, an animation that "hangs" while in the
middle of animating) and a slightly annoying fade effect every time
windows changed in size such as when toggling fullscreen.
The config used is below for reference, however after trying picom
animations dwm feels considerably better without them.
```
animations = (
{
triggers = ["open"];
preset = "appear";
scale = 0.5;
},
{
triggers = ["close"];
preset = "disappear";
scale = 0.5;
},
{
triggers = ["geometry"];
preset = "geometry-change";
duration = 0.5;
},
);
```
Trying this out with dwm and it seems to work. Note that we aren't using
the windowmap patch since it causes windows such as kitty to not focus
properly when switching between tags.
Note that using a separate fork is necessary since overlaying flakes
seems to be non-trivial here.
Also note that previously the nixpkgs hyprland was being started from
greetd. This fixes that.
Latest changes break a bit too many things including ironbar. Auto-save
in neovim is delayed a bit, which could have fixed a bug but will take
some getting used to.
The update brings crackling audio issues to osu! wine again, so more
investigating will need to be done to find a solution for that. Overall
seems like most wine programs broke, so a new wine prefix could be in
order.
Additionally, Librewolf now has some unexpected keybinding behavior with
Ctrl+L + Ctrl+C resulting in the letter `c` being displayed instead of
copying like before.
2.0 introduces some kind of breaking change that results in the cursor
appearing larger than usual, which I haven't been able to find an answer
for. The 1.1 cursor has been great already, so I'll probably stick with
that until further notice.
Not sure why but apparently this new version of phinger-cursors broke
the cursor theme in Hyprland. Downgrading solves the problem, and I
don't really have a need for a "new and improved" cursor theme.
Fixes an issue where the base16-schemes overlay wasn't being applied
presumably due to the separate nixosModule usage.
This removes Qt theming support, so it may be better to simply overlay
base16-schemes inside the module instead.
Now that I have more experience with nix, I know how to write an
expression that automatically outputs all the overlays in the
repository, as well as automatically import them inside the nixos
configuration.
This makes it possible to programmatically use all the outputs in a
flake without having to manually specify each one individually, useful
for having one main nix-config that can be used with other flakes and
system configurations.
I originally wrote default.nix files to "import all files in a given
directory" however this turns out to not be necessary when flakifying a
configuration and defining all modules, overlays, and packages as
outputs.
Instead of making these "default.nix" files the source of truth for all
imports, it should be more useful to make the flake.nix the source of
truth and programmatically use attribute values as needed.
This fixes an issue where copying text would break until changing
workspaces and consequently windows.
This *was* fixed in 0.32.0 as a result of [1], however kitty 0.33.1 with
the recent fontconfig workaround patch[2] ends up showing CJK characters
with a very thin weight, causing them to be inconsistent relative to the
surrounding text and more difficult to read.

- Removed old hyprlang/hyprlock overlays that are now in nixos-unstable
- Replaced pnpm-shell-completion with the one upstream
- Changed old GPG option to new one
Hyprland 0.36.0 changes the config quite a bit. Updating Hyprland to the
latest commit on main and hyprlang to 0.5.0 fixes a lot of the bugs that
were immediately caught after this release.
Necessary since an update caused the YAML structure to change. Will be
able to remove this once the Qt pull request for stylix gets merged
upstream.
