Ivan MolodetskikhAfter a full day of writing release notes (god how'd it take so long 😫), niri v25.01 is out with Floating Windows and Working Layer-Shell Desktop Icons and Layer-Shell Screencast Blocking Out and so many more improvements! Yes, you read that right, we finally escaped zerover! I feel that niri is now ready to graduate from v0.1 :ablobcatbongo: Read here and download when your distribution package updates: <a href="https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/releases/tag/v25.01" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/releases/tag/v25.01</a><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/niri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#niri</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/smithay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smithay</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wayland</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rust</a>

Shakil Akhtar 🇸🇦 🇵🇸I am still on X; i3wm to be more specific. But one day, I will have to switch and jump into the Wayland boat. However, I don't want to use <a href="https://mstdn.starnix.network/tags/wlroots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wlroots</a>. I just hope <a href="https://mstdn.starnix.network/tags/smithay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smithay</a> becomes better and so do the things based on it, like <a href="https://mstdn.starnix.network/tags/Cosmic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cosmic</a> and <a href="https://mstdn.starnix.network/tags/pinnacle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pinnacle</a> <a href="https://mstdn.starnix.network/tags/x11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#x11</a> <a href="https://mstdn.starnix.network/tags/xorg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#xorg</a> <a href="https://mstdn.starnix.network/tags/freesoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freesoftware</a> <a href="https://mstdn.starnix.network/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#foss</a> <a href="https://mstdn.starnix.network/tags/sway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sway</a> <a href="https://mstdn.starnix.network/tags/i3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#i3</a> <a href="https://mstdn.starnix.network/tags/window_manager" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#window_manager</a> <a href="https://mstdn.starnix.network/tags/desktop_environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#desktop_environment</a> <a href="https://mstdn.starnix.network/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://mstdn.starnix.network/tags/gnu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gnu</a> <a href="https://mstdn.starnix.network/tags/stallman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stallman</a>

Harvey SandstromJust found: <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Smithay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Smithay</a> implements a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wayland</a> renderer using the pixman crate which has no dependency on any hardware acceleration. It seems to have been intended for writing a headless VNC/RDP server, which is exactly analogous to what I'm thinking of trying: Rendering to an e-ink display.The rationale for the pixman backend is explained better in this bug than by the documentation:<a href="https://github.com/Smithay/smithay/issues/330" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/Smithay/smithay/issues/330</a>

Ivan MolodetskikhAfter the Waybar maintainer speedran merging my niri modules and releasing, I would feel bad delaying any longer, so here's niri 0.1.9 :)Event stream IPC for bars, better window resizing, properly named outputs, on-demand VRR, out-of-the-box fix for NVIDIA flickering, and other improvements!<a href="https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/releases/tag/v0.1.9" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/releases/tag/v0.1.9</a><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/niri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#niri</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/smithay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smithay</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wayland</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rust</a>

drakulixDeveloping <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/X11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#X11</a> stuff from scratch these days is really frustrating with the state of documentation.I spent the better part of a day to figure out, why <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/GTK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GTK</a> (3 and 4) apps weren't reacting to changes in my custom XSettings implementation for <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/smithay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smithay</a> / <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/COSMIC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#COSMIC</a>. (Qt was fine!)Turns out, if the window holding the XSettings selection is the same window holding the window manager selection, the GDK backend will override the previously set PropertyNotify...And I am not even sure, if I would consider this a bug, obviously the Spec doesn't say they can't be the same window, but I see how this is annoying to deal with on the toolkit-side of things.Lesson learned, I guess, use separate windows for every selection you are holding. I just wish these kind of things where documented *somewhere*. :neocat_facepalm:

Ivan MolodetskikhMy Wayland compositor, niri, turns one today! :ablobcatrave:Here's v0.1.8 with bind key repeat, screenshot UI pointer toggle, gradient color spaces, wlr screencopy v3 and output management, and lots of other improvements: <a href="https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/releases/tag/v0.1.8" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/releases/tag/v0.1.8</a><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/niri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#niri</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/smithay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smithay</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wayland</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rust</a>

Drew NaylorI'm experimenting. For some reason it's fullscreen even though I don't want it to always be fullscreen.<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Retiled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Retiled</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#programming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/LayerShell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LayerShell</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Smithay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Smithay</a>

Drew NaylorI decided against even making Plasmoids becaise I realized it would be too much for me to do while keeping the programs available to run on their own, so I'm going to use Smithay and CXX-Qt to make a compositor (will need layer-shell-qt also, but it's C++ so I can use CXX-Qt for it too.)

Ivan Molodetskikhniri v0.1.7 is out with fractional scaling, window screencasts and many smaller improvements!<a href="https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/releases/tag/v0.1.7" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/releases/tag/v0.1.7</a><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/niri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#niri</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/smithay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smithay</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wayland</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rust</a>

Ivan MolodetskikhOver the past few weeks I've been working on fractional scaling for niri. A simple implementation took about a day, but to do it *properly* I had to refactor the entire layout code to work in floating-point.The result is well worth it though. Borders, gaps and windows are always physical-pixel aligned, and not restricted to integer logical pixel positions. There's no blur or position-dependent +-1 px jank. Fractional-scale-aware clients remain crisp at any scale.<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/niri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#niri</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/smithay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smithay</a>

Ivan MolodetskikhNiri 0.1.6 with interactive window resizing, rounded corners, named workspaces, mouse view scrolling, animation custom shaders, screen transition!<a href="https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/releases/tag/v0.1.6" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/releases/tag/v0.1.6</a>Didn't realize quite how many release notes there would be this time; even had to use an extra level of headings. 😅<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/niri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#niri</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/smithay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smithay</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rust</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wayland</a>

Ivan MolodetskikhAnother tricky feature, rounded corners! Took several days, but I believe I've got a pretty complete implementation.You (manually) set the window corner radius and whether to force-clip the window. You can set radius per-corner to match GTK 3 apps. It works correctly with subsurfaces, blocked-out windows, transparency, gradient borders, resize and other animations.Optimization-wise, opaque regions and even overlay plane unredirection work where possible!<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/niri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#niri</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/smithay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smithay</a>

Ivan MolodetskikhAll the animations, plus VRR, today in niri 0.1.5: <a href="https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/releases/tag/v0.1.5" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/releases/tag/v0.1.5</a>I also remade the demo video to showcase the animations and some of the newer features!<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/niri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#niri</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/smithay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smithay</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rust</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wayland</a>

Ivan MolodetskikhAmidst all the fires being put out, niri 0.1.4 which can block out windows from screencasts! <a href="https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/releases/tag/v0.1.4" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/releases/tag/v0.1.4</a>And also gamma control, focus follows mouse, warp mouse to focus, wheel and touchpad scroll bindings, xdp-gnome 46 support.Also, every single config option is now documented on the wiki! Which took like an entire week of work (even though I was reusing a lot of my previously written docs in the config).
